SOC has soaked Ambridge to the core across a never ending weekend. Discuss The Archers post-watershed here.

Deluged damp squid or not? And has Peggy been assisted off the mortal coil by Rob yet?
And when will JD and Brian remember Debbie?

she's on in the Guardian mag any time you feel like reading it

but not on R2 instead of the film. That would be Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs (spit) & Weekend Wogan

Mamils

Mamils = middle aged men in Lycra actually. I wondered where the Bikers came from.

I've found a recipe for 'vegan halloumi'. I love that it specifies 'Sea Salt (Celtic or Himalayan)'. Sounds exactly Kate's sort of thing and not First World at all.

Yes that's me stillearnin She's the ex.p. of ds and mother of our lovely GD poor little thing She makes her feel guilty about having a slice of rye toast (and I have to think before giving her anything ).

On a second listening (too lazy to change stations or switch off) I honestly think a misguided SW thought that Jim and Christine are an item and live together.

And no one corrected the mistake.

It does sound extremely odd to hear Christine saying "we can't".

Almost as if they don't have an editor.

Hi all, lovely er, not so new, thread!
trevor that cartoon is
Plenty of Mamils round here, too!!

Really welled up listening to Bert, losing dear Freda, his home etc v good acting. I guess the loss of Freda opens up a culinary vacancy for Emmur at the Bull?? Just v sad that so much drama has resulted in SATTC in so many ways, but good that the community is able to rescue itself, with GG, the church offering sanctuary and the shop bring reformed elsewhere. In small communities after last years epic flooding, there were many such tales.

Wrt Kate, yes she really is now a complete caricature , she was always vile, but 'intelligently vile' if that makes sense...over the years we have kind of accepted that, but now? Why isn't she putting her 'third world' experience to some practical use????

Looking forward to her Mothers Day treat for her own Mum...

I am so hoping scruff returns...

Up & down like a lodgers nightie (or brides I suppose) I like it! Better late than never to comment, omnibussed it.
Thanks for the new thread-great title, the best so far I think.
Poor Scruff (& poor Freda) (&poor Bert) in that order

This really is the thread that keeps on giving - survey upthread completed, thanks dfw . New word added to vocabulary, even better!

cutted I heard Cerys on 6 music this morning, at roughly omnibus time. Not even sure why the radio was tuned to it tbh, but pleasantly surprised to hear some nice music on. For some reason I thought 6 music was all trendy rubbish like radio 1.

Survey upthread completed here, too dfw

Another who has done the survey - but I think I've probably skewed the figures as we get through a hell of a lot of milk!

They'll have got their sea salt & mountain rock salt mixed up

I think of Bert as quite new. He wasn't around in Walter and Beldin Gabriel's day was he? And he was really annoying during the flood let's hope he SOTMC and joins Freda. I think he's been developedore in the last few years as general competition to Joe Grundy. I don't like The Frys

Nelson!

There I was, interrogating my memory for "Beldin" ...

god, Kate, what a spoilt brat
mind you Phoebe is being a real wind up merchants

I love Phoebe

Go Phoebe! Articulating what we all want to say...

I so wanted the dog barking to be Scruff coming over the hill

I thought that was Scruff too.

Hopefully it is scruff and he'll reveal himself soon.

Was the wording on Hayley's card very deliberate or merely tactless?

Kate is unbearable!! How does anybody stop themselves from telling her she's a flippin brat!
Hoorah for feebs! Think Jennifer will pop soon!!
