Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 23rd February 2020
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Once
again D-Town residents have been caught totally by surprise by the advent of
the season often referred to as “Winter”.
It has come as a complete shock that it can rain a bit in February, as
well as being a bit cold. Big coats,
gloves and scarves are highly recommended, together with hats and properly-soled
shoes. Umbrellas may also be
required. A public information campaign
will be mounted shortly warning citizens that seasons known as “Spring” and “Summer”
are predicted to follow in the next few months.
Big coats may not be needed, particularly in August. Who knew?
2. And
in other news the DBC (Devizes Broadcasting Corporation) has come under attack
from the Lord Mayor and the Town Council.
The DBC has been accused of being “institutionally biased” towards rural
issues. There is now a threat that the
DBC Licence Fee could come to an end, to be replaced by a subscription service
on the Netflix model. The council is
also said to be looking at opening a video rental store on the Blockbuster
model, a financial services outlet on the Pawnbroker model, and a food-bank on
the Workhouse model.
