Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 15th October 2023

Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 15th October 2023 

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

1.      It’s been a long week in local politics, with all the major parties holding their annual conferences, many of them in Mrs Bustle’s Cake & Tea Emporium on the High Street.  Attendance was rumoured to be almost in double digits, as the two-for-the-price-of-one offer on eclairs (2pm to 4pm only, conditions apply) cut keenly across many planned timetables.  On Monday the men in blue suits said one thing, whilst on Wednesday the men in grey suits said exactly the opposite.  Only one of the leaders was reported to have delivered a really glittering performance. 

2.      The situation in war-torn TrowVegas continues to worsen.  The Council, in what is widely seen as an aggressive and provocative statement, has ordered all the citizens at the northern end of the town to move to the southern end.  This is to allow a planned invasion of street-cleaners, drain-flushers and milk-floats.  Other communities in Wiltshire have expressed their concern and advocated restraint and proportionality so that innocent civilians are not injured during these Council Manoeuvres in The Dark.
