Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 10th June 2018


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 10th June 2018

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:

1.   The D47 Wiltshire Economic Summit, held in a lay-by on A350, ended in disarray in the early hours of the morning when the Finance Directors of the participating boroughs failed to agree on the final communique to be issued to the assembled masses of the waiting local press from the Melksham Times and the Corsham Advertiser.  Several members wanted to say that they had almost agreed on a couple of issues, but several other members were more keen to point out that they had not been able to agree on some other issues.  The number of issues agreed/ not agreed was also in dispute, and no-one could agree what to do about it.

2.  Tradition returned to D-Town yesterday when the annual Pooping The Colours ceremony was held on The Green.  Owners of all sizes and breeds of dog were able to allow their pooches to publicly defecate on the freshly-mown grass, before the panel moved in to judge the results.  Marks were given for size, aroma, neatness of lay and, especially, for colour.
