Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 23rd July 2017

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 23rd July 2017

Here is our weekly round-up of events from Devizes:
                                                  
1.      Outrage amongst the good burghers of D-Town erupted this week when the Brittox Broadcasting Company (BBC) was forced to reveal how much it pays its top stars when it published its annual report.  Not only were some of the figures absolutely derisory, but the list of top earners featured mostly people from Wiltshire, with hardly any from Somerset, thus revealing an in-built yokel imbalance. 

2.      And the levels of boredom and ennui reached their peak when it was announced that a baking programme on TV which no-one was interested in would be moving across to a channel that no-one ever watched.  Sales of baking products in local super-markets were unaffected, although the local One Stop Shop claimed to have sold one extra bag of flour this week.  Despite having a reputation for soggy bottoms, D-Town folk are a sensible lot.

3.      For details of these and all other Devizes stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station D-Town F-Off.
