Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 6th June 2021
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. D-Town’s traffic-light system was thrown into chaos this week when all sets at all road junctions were randomly set to display different colours. Motorists proceeding on Green were accused of going through Amber, whilst others who knew they were on Amber suddenly found themselves on Red or Green. Other motorists puzzled over the meanings of Blue and Magenta lights, and police were forced to admit that the new Black signals had not proved to be a complete success. Following the decision to change the colours, there was an unseemly scramble to book bus journeys before the lights turned white, meaning that travellers would have to quarantine in a Trowvegas hotel for ten days at their own expense.
2. Large areas of the Wiltshire coastline were closed by police today in preparation for the meeting of the CFO’s of Wiltshire’s greatest towns (the W7 conference). It is thought that the agenda will include such key issues as the routing of the 49 bus once it leaves Trowvegas on week-day evenings after 19.30 (alternate Tuesdays only), parking charges in side-streets on market days, and why teenagers are such knobs for not taking their litter home after holding illegal raves and drugs parties.
