Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 30th December 2018


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 30th December 2018

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

1.      D-Town Council declared a “major incident” this week when it was noticed that an increasing number of economic refugees from Trowvegas were failing to stay on board the 49 bus as it passed through the town and carry on to the desolate wilds of Swindon.  In contravention of international treaties, several of these people were seen to be attempting to stay in the town and to claim political asylum.

2.      And police have begun rounding up confused residents and visitors in the town after many of them were found wandering in a confused state.  Several claimed not to know what day of the week it was.  One man said he had no idea what day his next black bin collection would be.  And no-one had a clue what buses were running and to what, if any, timetable.  The confusion was blamed on the fact that Christmas Day and New Year’s Day had occurred again this year.  Despite many warnings on public media and by the marketing departments of several leading supermarkets, these public holidays had come yet again as a complete surprise to many people.  No muppets were harmed in the making of this report.
