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.
