I reckon one day Soosan was reading 50 shades and also cooked Neeyul a chilli that night. She got all hot and bothered, gave Neeyul a special time and then blamed the chilli for making her horny Wink

OH MY GOD

LISTEN UP VIPERS (and DadDaddad)

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a complaint to the BBC about SOC and the decline of TA etc.

I have just received this email:

Many thanks for your email to Feedback. I am one of the producers from the Radio 4 Feedback Team. Weâ??re on air this week and weâ??re keen to cover responses to the changes in The Archers. Weâ??d like to use your comments and prefer to use listenersâ?? own voices where possible. Might it be possible for me to record you reading your email over the phone this week

Aaaaaargh what do I do?
I need your advice!

[stagefright]

CuttedUpPear · 10/02/2015 18:22

Basically I said Matt's departure was the last straw.

And I might have mentioned that they could look at these threads here on MN if they were in any doubt that the listenership were v dissatisfied. ....Blush

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 10/02/2015 18:23

Arrgh amazing CuttedUp. Do it!

OddFodd · 10/02/2015 18:27

Do it, do it CuttedUp!! Would be marvellous. I've been on R4 before - it's just talking on the phone and not scary.

DadDadDad · 10/02/2015 18:30

Hey! Why can't I be a viper too? There's more to me than spreadsheets, despite cuttedup's slurs.

You should definitely do the reading for feedback. The only thing you'll need to worry about is that once it's broadcast we'll be able to link your real name to your username here, if that's a worry.

olddiebutgoodie · 10/02/2015 18:33

Am I the only one that won't miss David and Ruth , they'd really getting on my nerves.. money grabbers, and if I hear about the''New Zealand milking procedure'' anymore..... fume fume

ZeroFunDame · 10/02/2015 18:34

Well you're not going to say "no" are you? You will be performing a service for the nation.

It'll be fun.

notquitegrownup2 · 10/02/2015 18:35

Not if she uses the name Mrs C. Youpear DDD Smile

enochroot · 10/02/2015 19:06

Oddly coincidental that Jennifer is broadcasting too, cutted. I'm sure you'll have an easier time!

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 10/02/2015 19:09

I once had something read out on feedback but they had an actor do it and they captured the full sarcasm I was trying to convey. Could you ask them to get a reader to do it?

I always wondered why people would leave feedback on an answer phone - makes sense now!!!

Travelledtheworld · 10/02/2015 19:16

Go Jennifer ! Tell Kate what she needs to hear !

Travelledtheworld · 10/02/2015 19:18

Cutted great stuff!
Yay !
Do it !
If it's recorded you can have several attempts, and it will be easier to read an email than just make a statement.

enochroot · 10/02/2015 19:19

Boop point to Jennifer. And another for Roy who hasn't been my favourite character but I did love him for throwing Kate out. She tried to elicit sympathy from J and got short shrift.

Oh cutted please do it! It's your duty to us all! Please put them straight on so many things!
( sack Pip and Kate, bring back Matt and Jazzer ..just for starters)

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 10/02/2015 19:40

Yay Freda. They'll he rid of her and trade will plummet! Kenton is such a tit.

And yay Roy - glad to hear him telling Kate the home truths. Kate is a piece of work - zero interest in anyone but herself. And yay Jenny giving her zero sympathy.

I still don't like carol. And how lame is fallon. She gets on my nerves too.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/02/2015 19:40

G'wan, Cutted. Unless you've got a really distinctive voice, and/or they make you divulge your real name as Dad3 is right about outing risk - and your name being a genuine Classic we can't have you being forced to NC. The only thing is though.... just the last week or so there seem to have been quite a few improvements.

Anyway - double BOOPS for Jenny, on air and for her response to Kate. And BOOP to Roy for (if nothing else) the sheer incredulity of his laughs at various points. However, I rather hope that he cleans up his act and his house before either Phoebe or Hayley reappear there. Oh, especially if Kate tries to take someone there to demonstrate the squalor, would be nice to find it spotless and Roy in a pinny making a wholesome meal, that'd be good.

minkGrundy · 10/02/2015 19:44

He called me selfish. Can you believe it??

Kate is fabulous. How on earth did Lucas put up.with her for that long?

cutted you should. But one day we might see a photo of you and think that is so not what the cutted I imagine when I hear her on the radio looks likeWink

Yesterday when was it Susan was saying to David, you'll miss hearing all about Ambridge and it's goings on I thought ah but he can just listen on the radio. Blush

CuttedUpPear · 10/02/2015 19:45

Well I wouldn't be going anywhere or asking any questions, just reading out my email to them over the phone for them to record.

My opinions have been refined by all the discussions on here, I was only saying what we all thought.

My main worry is that I would be outed via here. Too much posting without NC.

But you are right. I should do it for the MN Archers Addicts.

CuttedUpPear · 10/02/2015 19:47

minkGrundy I could pm you a photo of me so it's not too much of a shock after hearing me drone on and on.

minkGrundy · 10/02/2015 19:48

thrn he can come on the MN thread and comment about people acting totally differently to when he knew them, speculate about Carol the poisoner and complain about how TA is nothing like it used to be now its based round Bridge farm.

minkGrundy · 10/02/2015 19:51

cutted I like to maintain the mystique. You will be forever as I see you in my minds eyeGrin cutting up pears.

He he at Mrs C Youpear. I have been known to say that to my kids

Lilymaid · 10/02/2015 19:55

I'm expecting a shower episode soon when Dopey Dave wakes up and realises that all the story lines of the new regime have been but a dream and it is back to work as usual at Brookfield.
Roy was excellent - at some point Kate will have to disappear off again (up the Amazon?) to impart her wisdom to the native tribes as she will have alienated all her family. Sensible native Amazonians will then finish her off with a poison dart.
