Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 28th August 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Religious
sensibilities have been heightened in Bromham this week. On Monday the Parish Council decided to ban
the wearing of baler-twine as a means of holding up men’s trousers, citing the
fact that baler-twine can be seen by some sections of village society as an “incitement”
to commit violence. Viewers around the
world had been shocked by video footage of Bromham’s policeman, Consternoon
Afterble, requesting workers in the fields to remove their baler-twine. However, on Tuesday, this ban was over-ruled
in Bromham’s High Court on the grounds that the whole idea was basically a load
of bollocks.
2. Bromham
residents will be holding their traditional Bank Holiday Olympics this
week-end. This will include the 50m dash
(back into the house to avoid the downpours), the 5-mile queue (on the
motorway), the long-jump (over the mud and puddles), the men’s hammer (and
nails to build the shed), the ladies’ invitation screw-driver (don’t ask), and
the floor exercises (post-Disco at the pub).
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
