As with any small market town, Sprodlington has its eccentrics. Most are harmless. For instance, we all know Colin is unpredictable especially when a casual game of dominoes turns against him, but he isn’t really troublesome.
Councillor Sid Wormell is however a complete pain in the arse. Forever chasing the limelight, Wormell announced to The Sprodington Post this week that he has changed his name to Sid Cowell in honour of his idol Simon. Having spent time at the local comprehensive school judging their “Sprod Idol” competition, which Fleur Brinklow won with her lovely acoustic rendition of The Grateful Dead’s “China Cat Sunflower”, he has insisted in staying in character ever since.
Last Saturday, Sid came into the shop.
“I can honestly say this is poor attempt at a Hardware store.” he announced.
“Piss off Sid !”
“But you do have the likeability factor,” he replied “And you remind me of a young Ronnie Barker in Open all Hours.”
“You remind me of everything I never wanted to be Sid.”
