Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 26th June 2022
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Several venues across the town were turned into an Alternative Not Glastonbury Escape Room (ANGER) this weekend. All carparks and public toilets were closed, large areas of farmland and roads were fenced off, and a range of chemical and long-drop toilets were installed at various inconvenient locations. Fresh mud was sprayed everywhere, campsites were established miles away from town, and all takeaway food vendors tripled their prices, in order to re-create that true “festival” experience for the sleepless crowds. No bands were booked to play anywhere, but a central rumour exchange was set up in the Town Hall. D-Town is hoping to corner the emerging market for “Not-Glasto” experience days out.
2. Meanwhile the political climate in the borough has taken a sinister turn for the worst. The ruling Blue Party’s confidence was shaken by losing by-elections in two key safe-seat wards, and the Chairman of the Blue Party has resigned in disgust. In response the leader of the Blues has vowed to carry on regardless, to lead his party into the next ten elections, and to continue his diplomatic mission to change the subject by attending several out-of-borough meetings in distant Trowvegas.
