Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 23rd August 2020
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Citizens
of D-Town are becoming increasingly confused regarding the rules on travel and
the need for quarantine. Travellers from
Trowvegas must self-isolate, but only if they arrive on the 49 bus. The Sham was on the list, but now isn’t, but
might be again next week. Potterne has
not yet been on the list but is on the watch-list to be on the main list. Urchfont wasn’t on the list but now is,
except on Thursdays. Visitors from
Poulshot need only isolate if there is a “y” in the day. And bears in the woods have been requested to
remain self-isolated for the foreseeable future.
2. With
only a week or two to go before D-Town schools re-open after the Covid
outbreak, there have been expressions of fear, worries about social distancing
& the wearing of masks, concerns about the resumption of bullying &
anti-social behaviour, expectations of punishment beatings, and a general
desire to simply not go back at all. And
that’s just the teachers. Parents are
terrified that there will be a Covid outbreak and that they will again have to
look after their little horrors. Pupils,
on the other hand, are extremely keen to get back in order to resume their
power struggles, victim-shaming and drug-dealing activities.
