Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 21st November 2021

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 21st November 2021 

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

1.      The world of D-Town cricket has been rocked to its very foundations by accusations of institutional racism at all levels of the game.  This has been strongly denied by D-Town CC President Ivor Paleskin, appearing before the cameras with his all-male committee, dressed in their traditional cricket whites.  “We don’t allow blacks or coloureds here”, he said.  “They would only run in the wash and spoil the whites.  It’s purely a laundry thing.” 

2.      And dreadful news for D-Town commuters this week as it was announced by the Council that funding for the Eastern leg of the proposed HS2 (High Speed Tractor Route 2) is to be withdrawn.  The route out to the badlands of TrowVegas with now be served by a tractor replacement 49 bus and milk-float service.  A new fare structure, allowing the carriage of bales of hay and sacks of slurry on normal passenger services will be introduced.
