Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 17th May 2020


Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 17th May 2020

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
                                              
1.      Some children in D-Town are preparing to go back to school, but others are not.  Children in Years 1, 3. 5 and 7 will attend on alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays, whereas Years 2,4 and 6 will attend on alternate  Mondays and Wednesdays.  The following week they will swap over.  Fridays will be reserved for counselling & therapy sessions for the teaching staff.  But these arrangements will only apply if social distancing can be maintained.  Or not, in which case they won’t be.  School janitors and other non-reaching staff will be rubbed down with alcohol on a regular basis, and all door handles and textbooks will be boiled after each usage.  Or not.  On a conditional basis.  Perhaps.

2.      Given that D-Town currently has a low R-number, S-number and T-number, and sits in a beautiful country area of Wiltshire, civic leaders have pleaded with visitors from other parts of the country to come and visit the area as soon as possible.  Although all pubs, cafes, shops, toilets and car-parks are currently closed due to Covid-19 restrictions, citizens are desperate to see any vehicles with an internal combustion engine moving around the deserted streets, whilst seeking for a non-existent parking space.  Sightings of any forms of modern technology would be welcome.  The town idiots are getting bored now and we desperately need some new targets for their anti-social behaviour.
