Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 22nd April 2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Civic leaders
from around the Common Wiltshire gathered in D-Town over the past week to
discuss a wide range of issues irrelevant to the vast majority of the county’s
population. The key question under
discussion was who should become the organisation’s next titular leader when
the current leader shuffles off. The
tasks and duties of the leader are vague and almost impossible to describe, but
it seems that many candidates wanted the role.
Finally, after a good dinner and a night in the pub drinking several
pints of Waddie’s Old Skullcracker Ale, it was decided that the son of the
current leader should succeed. No egos were
bruised in the making of this declaration.
2. And a breakthrough has been made in the current
stand-off between The Vize and The People’s Democratic Republic of Trowvegas. In an unexpected move, the PDRT declared that
it would forthwith cancel its current programme of sending “dirty” buses on the
49 route to D-Town. In a
carefully-worded statement the Wicked Empire of the West said that it would
immediately send clean buses, rebuild its bus-washing garage and cease to
threaten D-Town citizens. It is thought
to be a cynical move ahead of planned peace talks between the two great stars
in the Wiltshire universe.
3. For details of these and all other Devizes stories, don’t
forget to listen to local radio station D-Town F-Off.
