Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 21st October 2018


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 21st October 2018

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

1.      In the wake of the amazing, and frankly incomprehensible, news that Kleenex are to withdraw their “man-size” tissues on the grounds that such a label is sexist, the shock waves have finally reached The Vize.  All manholes in the borough are to be replaced with personholes, records by Manfred Mann will be re-recorded as Personfred Person, and supermarkets will replace their mandarin oranges with persondarin oranges.  The local theatre will be putting on a production of G.B. Shaw’s “Person And Superperson”.  No snowflakes were hurt in the making of this new world order.

2.    Meanwhile a TrowVegas chip shop has finally admitted responsibility for battering a sausage, after nearly two weeks of previous denials.  CCTV footage conclusively proved that a D-Town man was seen entering the fish emporium, whilst looking for something to eat, but was not seen leaving with anything substantial under his arm, and the battered sausage could not be conclusively traced to his order.  The shop had claimed at first that  he had only ordered chips, but later admitted that a sausage may have been involved.
