Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 4th August 2019


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 4th August 2019

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

1.      A man from D-Town is celebrating this morning after winning nearly £20,000, five houses and three hotels, merely by playing a 20th-century non-computerised board game.  A Mr Ron Seal, of Letsby Avenue in the town, beat nearly three others to win the prestigious prize, in front of an audience of two.  He used his lucky “racing car” token to speed around the board and to gradually defeat his opponents.  He claimed that his victory was due to skill and aggressive tactics, not merely to Chance or the roll of the dice, and to not having spent any time in Jail.  He thanked the local Community Chest for helping him.

2.      Meanwhile another man, Mr Terry Dactyl, has claimed a new Wiltshire record for an attempted crossing of the Crammer without touching the water.  Using only recreational drugs and a skateboard, he flew the first thirty metres involved whilst completely spaced out of his mind.  When he was arrested he asked for 30 other offences to be taken into account, and the address of the nearest rehab clinic.
