Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 8th March 2020


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 8th March 2020

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
                                              
1.      Police are patrolling the streets of D-Town in an attempt to prevent looting and wide-scale panic buying in the face of reports that Corvid-19 is headed this way.  People caught in possession of more than six toilet rolls, two hand sanitisers or 3 containers of liquid soap face confiscation of the items, arrest and imprisonment.  However police are being over-whelmed with arrests as people begin to realise that the prisons have plenty of these supplies.  It’s also seen as a free method of self-isolation.

2.      And the future of the 49 bus route is in danger as passenger numbers drop alarmingly in the face of the coming plague.  The bus company has been accused of operating “ghost runs” of certain services with no passengers aboard at all, in an attempt to preserve their hold on scheduled take-off slots from The Vize bus station.
