Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 17th December 2023
Here is our weekly round-up of events from D-Town:
1. A solid family welcome is planned later when one of D-Town’s own returns home after being missing for over six years. The boy Scott Chegg, was found wandering the streets of Trowvegas, after escaping from a hippy commune where he had been taken by his mother in an attempt to lead an alternative lifestyle. “She wanted to live off-grid, in a place with no atmosphere, and no trappings of a modern commercial world,” the boy was heard to sob. “But I missed the simple pleasures of D-Town with its potholes, traffic congestion and lack of a bypass. So I escaped, and hope to be re-united with my wealthy grand-mother in time for Christmas.”
2. With just over a week to go to The Big Day, a charity-funded shelter for the poor has been opened. The shelter will provide sanctuary for ordinary men with families who need to get away from the build-up to the festive time. There will be no Christmas trees, decorations, shopping lists or meal-planners in evidence. Instead an atmosphere of calm will be encouraged, including a bar, a TV showing Sky Sports, and other like-minded males who just want to talk about football.
