Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 21st August 2022

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 21st August 2022 

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

1.      Citizens were shocked to find this week that the hot sunny weather is not, in fact, to last for absolutely ever and ever.  Cooler temperatures, cloud and rain-storms were greeted with absolute disbelief.  Supermarkets which last week were knocking out disposable BBQ’s like there was no tomorrow, were this week throwing them away over the back fence, in order to make room for umbrellas, warm coats and hot food. 

2.      The sudden flash floods have, however, caused a further problem for Wessex Water.  As the drains filled up and overflowed, there was nowhere left to pump the resulting untreated sewage.  The rivers and the canal in the area had already completely dried up, so there were no means by which the waste could be invisibly “lost” into the system.
