Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 23rd April 2017
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Election
fever has once again hit Bromham.
Villagers were absolutely over-joyed to be told that once again their
next eight weeks would be filled with the sound of ringing doorbells and
tapping on doors as a whole fleet of self-serving local politicians, whom they
do not normally see from one election to the next, vie for fifteen seconds of
their attention. The local incinerator
has been put on standby as boxes of election leaflets are ruthlessly
transferred from door-mat to recycling bin.
2. And
today the street of Bromham is filled with thousands of runners, dressed in a
whole range of outfits – animals, superheroes, and a wide selection of abstract
designs – cheered on by a crowd of nearly seven. Some of them are expected to take four or
five hours to complete the course, which is usually run by the elite contingent
in just over two hours. Police have
closed the street and a watering station and toilets have been set up. Yes it’s quite a thing when the annual
fancy-dress ball at The Wounded Ferret tips out in the early hours of the
morning.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
