Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 14th October 2018


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?
