Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 14th October
2018
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1.
Nearly
seven people lined the streets of D-Town on Friday to watch the latest
celebrity wedding procession. The girl
from the third checkout at Morrisons married the son of the bloke who works at
the chip shop in the Market Place. Neither
is in line to inherit any money, or likely to do anything noticeable with their
lives, but – hey – a wedding is a wedding, right?
2. And art history may
have been made at a shop in the Brittox in the week, when a woman bought a
second-hand painting in a charity shop. Having
paid £3 for the artwork (including tax) the woman was putting it into her wheeled
shopping trolley when her hand slipped and she dropped the item on the
floor. The frame split and the glass
cracked, thus appearing to destroy the value of painting. However, a passing art critic/ commentator
remarked that this misfortune may have actually increased its value. Or not.
Who knows?
