Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 24th September 2017

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 24th September 2017

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
                                                  
1.      Thousands of citizens of the borough had their lives turned upside down this week when the Town Council announced that it would not be renewing the Licence To Operate of Fred’s Taxi.  It is thought that up to one person could lose their job if this draconian ruling is not reversed.  Only last night a couple were forced to catch the 49 bus to get home, and a group of revellers were forced to walk all the way across the Market Place just to get from one pub to another.  Nearly seven people have now signed a protest petition.

2.      And, in another transport-related story, D-Town’s international airline, Brian-Air was forced to apologise on Thursday when it admitted that it had completely forgotten that its only pilot, Ben Dover, was due to take his annual holiday in East Grinstead next week, thus throwing their entire time-able into chaos.  Up to one flight may have to be cancelled.  A replacement bus service to Swindon has now been arranged for the one passenger who had been booked on the cancelled service.  No airstrips were harmed in the writing of this story.

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