Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 9th December 2018


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 9th December 2018

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

1.      Citizens in The Vize are slowly coming back to their normal selves after recovering from nearly 24 hours of trauma on Thursday when the town’s mobile signal was lost.  Mothers were almost forced to talk to their children, men to their wives and sweethearts and millennials to one another, when they discovered that their smartphones were rendered useless.  School-children were reported to be having to pay attention in their lessons for the first time in many years, and the number of accidents involving people walking into lamp-posts was almost negligible.

2.    And, in further signs of unrest, the streets were filled with members of da yoof dressed in Hi-Vis jackets and camouflage trousers.  Older people were confused as whether the protesters wanted to be seen or not.  A spokesperson for da yoof, when asked what they were protesting about, provided the following list of demands: the right to cycle around the town at night without lights or reflective clothing, the right to leave discarded pizza cartons in pretty circles around the grass on The Green, the right not to answer to anyone over 21 when spoken to, and the right to remain unwashed for long periods of time.
