Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 25th April 2021

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 25th April 2021 

Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:                                              

1.      Football fans throughout the borough were celebrating this week-end as the demise of the WSL (Wiltshire Super League) became increasing obvious.  The six biggest clubs south of the M4 (D-Town Ramblers, Heddington Headshakers, Willington Wanderers, Old Melkshonians,  Real Trowvegas, and Avebury Rolling Stones) had previously announced a breakaway competition with no relegation.  Given that there are no leagues any lower than the current West Wilts (Germolene) League, this was seen as a mere technical point. However, the WSL’s plans to re-negotiate their lucrative £10-a-year sponsorship deal with Fantasy Radio was seen as being in major conflict with the fans’ desire to listen to other radio stations. 

2.      And in other shock news, the Post Office in Maryport Street has announced that they now accept that the man they had accused of stealing stamps and pushing in to the queue every Tuesday afternoon was, in fact, not a complete liar and a thief as they had previously claimed, but instead was (as everyone else already knew) just a complete twonk of the first order.  Over-turning previous court judgements, the Appeal Court in The Vize ruled that the man should now receive a free padded A4 envelope in full and final compensation.
