Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 24th April 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. The
debate over Bromham potentially leaving Wiltshire (Brexit), took a further
twist yesterday when some bloke from Trowbridge unloaded his opinions in the
back room of the Wounded Ferret. He said
that if the village shop pulled out of the Costcutta trading collective, it could
take weeks (if not months) to negotiate a new deal with Nisa or Londis. In the
meantime, the safe supply of custard creams and chocolate digestives could be
threatened. Bromham might be at the back
of the queue in such negotiations.
2. The
world of international show-biz received a further shock yesterday when it was
announced that the chap at No.57 on the High Street who occasionally plays
guitar in the covers band Pa’Snips was found dead, slumped over a pile of
Brussels Sprouts trimmings. Toxicology
tests are being carried out but it is expected to be several weeks before the
results are known. Tributes have been
paid to him - such as “creative genius in the chord of G”, “quite a plucker”, “sound-track
to my formative years”, “great loss to the East Wiltshire pub trade” etc.
Several other people have already died in 2016, and it is expected that some more
will also die later in 2016. Quite a year then.
