Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 29th August 2021
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. D-Town is in mourning this week after it was announced that one its greatest and most well-known musicians, Carly Whens, has died at the age of 86. Whens, one of the most prolific and talented players of the triangle known to modern fans, leaves a short piece of string, a bent triangular piece of metal and a small hammer to posterity. Whens, although a key part of the rock band The Strolling Bones, anecdotally was no fan of rock music, preferring to play jazz triangle in his spare time. He was occasionally known to play blues triangle, and even made an album of country music featuring the triangle. The triangle, although often considered to be a minor and trivial instrument by many, had the virtue of being better than Arsenal – at least it has three points.
2. And a shortage of key workers, principally drivers for HGV, buses and milk-floats, is critically endangering the delivery of vital supplies to The Vize. Supermarket shelves have already been stripped of essential supplies such as Crunchies, Curly-wurlies, Pringles BBQ flavour and Kung-pho Pot Noodle. Shortages like this have not been seen since the great Tea Trolley Disaster of 1971, when several councillors were unable to have biscuits served with their morning tea.
