Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 23rd October 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Bromham’s
secretive and iconoclastic veteran songsmith Robert Zucchiniman was this week
awarded the prestigious Knobbly Prize for “services to literature”. This seems to consist of creating a few
interesting songs back in the 1960s with dope-inspired lyrics, continuing to
make records of no critical acclaim for the following forty years, hosting a
digital-only radio station with no listeners and, finally, and most importantly
of all, still being alive in 2016.
2. The
revered head of the Parish Council, Theresa Green, has just arrived back in
breathless state from the Big Meeting in Trowbridge, where she apparently made
a speech to the assembled Big Cheeses at the end of dinner. The speech was made at 1 a.m. when most of
the audience had already left, but a waiter who was busy stacking chairs and clearing
plates at the end of the evening said that she probably made some very good
points. However, he admitted that he had
missed most of it because of helping the diners on with their coats and calling
taxis for them.
3.

radio station Carrot FM.
