Continuing culvert conspiracies in Ambridge - discuss The Archers here

[PseudoBadger]

Won't someone please give Kenton a kick in the FA Cup Finals, and a link to Money Saving Expert?

I wouldn't necessarily want, as an elderly person, to move in with my DSIL's DDIL's elderly and stroke-prone DM BOW.

That would have been a good storyline.

I liked the dog woman. Can you imagine her and Aunty Cardboard sharing. Mrs A would eat her for breakfast.

No Zero, but this is The Archers we're talking about

Gasp0de I also always felt Mrs A should have NC to Roy & Hayley - I remember they did everything for her for ages, couldn't believe they weren't left anything when she popped her clogs.

should have left NC...

I said Nightingale Cottage, but one quick Google later and I find it's actually a Farm - belongs to Matt, let to an unnamed incomer. From the picture on the BBC website it must have been badly affected by the flooding. Odd that Lilian hasn't mentioned that.

Yes, Roy and Hayley lived in the flat there, didn't they?

Think Roooth did too at one time.

Somebody asked upthread who's scripty this week. According to lowfield it's Mr Keri

Think that deserves a boop for airing the issue of lonely older people. They shouldn't find a neat solution too soon.

Also quite enjoyed classic Clarrie telling off Eddie, and him and his pal Lil having a good chuckle together. Nice to hear her do that again at last.

Re the Vince /Eddie love-in - it's ridiculous. First thing yesterday Vince would have googled the mysterious millionaire - and then simply asked Caroline, or indeed any of the staff, who Eddie was. It wouldn't have taken this long.

David was busy on TV tonight in The Game. I admit to having some reservations about his screen acting.

Lovely to hear Pusscat chuckling.

Christine's loneliness made me feel quite teary- she's had such a hard time. Maybe Nob will leave and then Helen will take her in?

Pip has to go. Farewell, Pipsqueak. You can squeak from Brazil and come back in a blaze of glory to stir up Fairbother when you return.

I thought Christine and Jim lived together (???)

They don't - but some of the SWs are a little confused about this ...

Pre-flood Christine lived alone in her cottage, and Jim lived alone in his until he took in Jazzer as a lodger.

Post-flood Shula took in both Jim (her FIL) and Christine (her Aunt), so they are currently living in the same house but not living together.

Kenton was in the Merchant Navy, IIRC, so we didn't really hear much about his flaky youth.

Sad to say, recently I have twice been moved to actually turn TA off mid episode, am now only following from this thread. Worse, I have been seduced by My Kitchen Rules Australia

I think Jim and Christine briefly were under one roof when she got spooked by something(maybe Jill's burglar or was there a return of evil Clive?) and didn't want to be in an empty house.

Ah thanks Zero I seeeeee

I liked last nights episode and most people were talking a lot of sense.

Vince - well knowing some of the Estate Agents I have known, they could easily have just fallen for any story and not bothered to fact check unless made to. (The number of times over the last 20 years I have been told they expect the house prices to crash and rental to be a good bet... And house prices around here have at least tripled in the same time, and at the worse risen slowly. They were suggesting that selling, and renting whilst waiting for the prices to drop and then buying - a risky strategy.)

Cod, mash and peas. Apparently your sense of taste declines so a lot of older people would really prefer something spicy than bland pap. Of course they have to avoid anything too chewy but doesn't have to be tasteless, surely designed to encourage people to SOTMC.

When does Heatherpet move into Brookfield, and will she have Pip's room if Pip's wonderful new job takes her away from home?

Shouldn't have posted about a move out of Brookfield for Pip as had forgotten first rule of Ambridge life - the women aren't allowed to leave to go anywhere and have a career (unless the actress playing them becomes well known ... i.e. Debbie)

Aren't there going to be ishoos if Eddie plans on feeding his surplus sausage rolls to pigs?

Well, that put a Kate amongst the pigeons...

what happened?!?

Pretty please can HeatherP die soon, and can the mourning HP episode be one of those days I can't listen, please?

Kate offered it on a plate to Toby (old enough to be his mother, gross) and made a show of herself at the home farm YF party.
