Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 5th April 2020
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. The
lack of people walking and driving around town has enabled Nature to reassert
itself. Lawns and grass verges are
growing unchecked, and grass invades the cracks in un-walked pavements. Deer, badgers and foxes are moving back into
urban gardens, and reclaiming the streets for the Wildlife Massif. What next? – bears parading on the Green? And dolphins swimming up the canal (great fun
watching them leaping over the lock-gates) have become the latest tourist
attraction. Well, they would be if
anyone was allowed out to see them.
2. Police
have been diligent this week in detecting breaches of the new Covid-19
regulations. An address in the High Street
was raided after a tip-off about the digging of escape tunnels. An episode of Coronation Street has been
banned for showing an open pub with more than two people in it having a drink
together. And a man was caught in the
queue at Morrisons blatantly breathing out of time with other shoppers.
