Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 31st July 2022

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 31st July 2022 

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

1.      D-Town remains in shock this weekend as one of the world’s longest-running soap operas finally came to an end, with families clustered around their TV sets to witness the final episode of a drama that had been the accompaniment to many of their lives for almost as long as could be remembered.  There were tears of joy, and of sorrow, as the key characters came and went on the screen towards the final denouement.  But, of course, nothing can last for ever, and the time had at last come for the Vardy vs Rooney case to end.  What are we left with?  Memories, memories, memories.  And a feeling that everyone needs good neighbours. 

2.      But The Vize continues to put itself on the sporting map.  Not only is Hillworth Park hosting the DEG (D-Town Empire Games), featuring some of the world’s great events, such as disposable barbecuing, queuing for the toilets, balancing three ice-creams in one hand, and drinking too much on a sunny afternoon, but tonight it is also hosting the Wiltshire Ladies Football Cup Final.  Kick-off is due at 5pm, but may be delayed if the hair-dresser has not completed her tasks in time, or if there is any kind of eyelash incident.
