Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 13th August 2023
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Police in the town are investigating a possible case of arson and insurance fraud after the only properly-built house in D-Town was burnt to the ground & subsequently bulldozed into a pile of rubble. The house on the High Street stood out, and was featured in postcards and magazine supplements, because it was perfectly level, properly proportioned, and had rooms with 90-degree corners. This is in contrast to other properties in the town which are leaning, wonky, and give the impression of having been thrown together by teams of cowboy builders, from Norman times, through the medieval period, right up to the modern era of Barratt, Persimmon and Bellway.
2. The two men who were last week forced to take up residence in a narrowboat moored on the K&A canal at The Wharf, were this week forced to return to shore. It had been found that conditions aboard were far too healthy & salubrious for drop-outs to occupy. Also the legionnaire who was already living there had objected to sharing his boat. It is expected that next week the two men will be forced to live aboard a different vessel, before being forced the week after that to go and live somewhere else altogether.
