Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 12th August 2018


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 12th August 2018

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

1.   D-Town residents stood in shocked amazement this week as the Postbox Appreciation Society and Bankrobbers Anonymous joined together in an unlikely alliance to publicly protest against politicians dressed in suits.  In a joint statement they condemned men in three-piece suits as “looking like penguins, making a lot of noise and a great deal of mess”.  They also accused them of gathering together in huge colonies, squawking loudly and pretending to run the country.  Once they only occupied the lonely outpost of Brexit Island, but now they seemed to spreading everywhere.

2.  And in further surprising news, citizens have been informed that salt in their diets may not be such a bad thing after all, contradicting previous studies and years of the opposite advice.  Parents keen to get on the band-wagon, and to get their offspring on the front foot of dietary provision, queued outside the town’s supermarkets from the early hours to buy extra packets of crisps, pizzas and heavily-processed foods.  There has been a run on salty snacks, leaving the town with a shortage until further emergency supplies can be brought in next week.
