I heard about the Ironbridge Folk putting up a giant sign across the A5, saying "Eileen is a Really Useless Druid". And I know their Deputy Druid said "if Eileen comes this side of Daventry we're going to get every Druid in Droitwich to turn up and protest. But hey, that's just letting off steam.
But I'm going to have to turn it down. Not because everybody there hates me. But because, let's face it, they put it in the wrong place. I blame Archdruid Elsie, who sold off the old one in Telford for peanuts, six months before she was Archdruid, and massively overpaid for the new one. So stuff them I'm staying in my Archdruidical Complex, with a burger and my giant telly.

The Iron Bridge Druids?
ReplyDeleteSurely they are recent upstarts. The Iron Bridge isn't thousands of years old, so,if they were formed as it was built, they are only been going from 1775.
Surely they can't claim to be druids, but given their black country heritage, should be the 'Dark Druids' because that would be appropriate as the slavery of the industrial wasteland they inhabit would point towards that?
