Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 27th February 2022
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. A grim week in The Vize this week, as news came in that the Evil Empire of Trowvegas had launched an unprovoked attack on the sovereign territory of Westbury, under the pretext of being a “peace-keeping” force to drive back the corruption and Nazism of the disputed territories of Paxcroft and Beanacre. Candlelit vigils of solidarity with the oppressed people of Westbury were held in the Market Place on Friday & Saturday, and a wide range of economic & political sanctions have been imposed as retaliation. These have included re-rerouting the 49 bus-route to not serve stops along the disputed border, a ban on all milk-float services, and a strict no-drive-to-the-cinema exclusion zone to cover the Trowvegas Odeon complex. That’ll teach ‘em.
2. Equally grim was the experience of watching D-Town Rugby Seniors taking on the Blustering Taffs in the annual Six Districts Rugger Championship. Both sides played badly, and each side was lucky to have scored no points by half time. But after s string of unprovoked penalties, sessions in the Sin Bin, and some (frankly) dubious refereeing decisions, D-Town ran out 23-19 winners, thus lifting the coveted Bragging-Rights Cup.
