Around The VillageRed
and Smith to Work Together.
Arthur 'Red' Cover’s has announced that Wendy Smith will be working with him to
address village issues. "I'll be concentrating on social issues," stated Red.
"Wendy will be concentrating on environmental issues and animal welfare." Lucky
villagers can now look forward to a combination of the looney left and the animal rights
fringe. Since Wendy is a known disciple of Nigel 'Barking Mad' Barksley, we can expect all
sorts of silly twitterings and chirpings. Evidently Puckering really is going to the dogs.
Who's Home?
Puckering still seems infatuated with its mystery visitor, though frankly the mystery
seems to be why anyone would move here. Is there anyone famous who you'd really like as a
neighbour? Get a life oh ye garden gate gossips and back wall talkers!
Last Word from the Editor
It is with very little regret that I announce that this will be my last issue of the
Gazette. It will be a relief to go someplace where something newsworthy might one day
happen. Puckering is like an Agatha Christie village on sleeping draughts. The biggest
news of the past year was a drug operation that moved from 'Caribbean Drug Ring
Infiltrates Village' to 'Skinny Roach left in Some-one's Room.' Well here's some
real news--I quit!
