Squire Teflon suffered another unfortunate incident recently after yet another chair was pulled from beneath him just as he was about to sit down.
The recent Smalltown and Dullbridge (SaD) Town Council White Elephant Enclosure (WEE) Mismanagement Meeting saw the Squire fully expecting to retain his seat as Vice Chairman. Unfortunately the Committee, made up of four BeFuddled councillors, three Illiberals and a Robert NotBothered, had other ideas.
“It was hilarious” an anonymous source told SomersetClive, “You should have seen his face when he realised that he’d lost his hold on the WEE. It eas obvious that he fully expected to win again but sadly this particular game of Musical Chairs didn’t go his way and he was beaten to the seat. There was a bit of a tussle as he tried to hold onto the chair and in the end it had to be practically wrestled from his hands.“
Newly appointed Head of Drama, Eugenie Cherry, said “He really wasn’t a happy little boy when he found out he’d lost, but I was able to console him by reminding him that it’s not the winning that matters, it’s the taking part. A philosophy which members of the BeFuddled Party have followed for years.”
Teflon has been either Chair or Vice Chair of the WEE since he saved it for the nation by paying a pound for it out of his own pocket. It has cost residents of Smalltown and Dullbridge considerably more ever since.
The loss of this chair is seen as yet another blow to the Squire as he faces up to losing his position of Vice-Chair and Acting-Chair of Somerset Cuonty Council when it is rebranded the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset Cuonty Council.
