Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 3rd April 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Deep
despair in the village this week when it was announced that the Indian owners
of the tobacconists on the corner of the High Street wanted to sell up the
business. Up to four jobs may be
affected. There have been calls for the
Parish Council to intervene and save the shop, but Dave Wentwrong (leader of
the Field Land-Owners’ Party – FLOP) could not be immediately contacted due to
a previous appointment (currently taking lessons in teeth-sucking). Meanwhile, the Councillor responsible for
Bromham Trade & Industry had to cut short a visit to Trowbridge, where he
had gone on the bus with his daughter.
2. Tributes
have been paid to that bloke in the pub who used to tell funny stories in the
Snug Bar of The Wounded Ferret on a Saturday Night. No-one can actually remember his name, but
everyone has agreed that he was “very funny”, particularly when he was really
pissed. On nights when he was only
slightly inebriated he could be “slightly amusing”, whereas other times he was “quite
a comic”. He has been laid to rest in
the Parish Church, his coffin surrounded by four candles. So it’s goodnight from him then.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
