Follow the subtle trail towards the Christmas storyline climaxes in Ambridge - discuss The Archers here

[PseudoBadger]

So many possibilities.... A visit from the Titcheners Snr? Baby of the wrong gender? A ruined wedding? Re-housed Grundys? RuthRex?

I believe PR can be revoked by a consent but otherwise, without Rob's consent It would have to be by order of a judge. I don't think it's very easy. My knowledge comes from google

Richard Wilson would be marvellous. We'd all be longing for him to say, 'I don't believe it!' and all join in when he does.

Oh god, they are setting Ruth up for another affair [vomit emoticon]

'Huge sense of entitlement'? This from the woman who a. Wanted to move her whole family up north irrespective of how they felt about it and b. Turfed her aged MIL out of her home to make way for her own mother. Ye gods!

Sorry to hear that, Pseudo.

Re Ruth: no need for an affair. She can just pack her bags and go back to Prudhoe. Take her mum's house off the market. Bye bye Ruth, shut the door on your way out. Please, please, please. (I can't stand Ruth.)

Nice to hear from Phoebe. It can't be long now till she'll hear about her interview.

Knew it - she'll be off helping Rex stuff up the rat holes. He'll be oh so understanding and then ... aargh, vomit.

Daniel - well what can I say. He's. so. rightangled.

Place marking!

Newish listener here.

How much business is the Bridge Farm shop and Ambridge Tearooms the cafe expected to generate? I'm not expecting actual figures (though that would be nice!) but are they likely to be a big success?

Bridge farm finances are hopelessly vague!

I'm thinking Ruth's angst might be a menopause SL. I do hope so. Having just suffered 3 years of despair and feeling pointless before I got HRT, her words are ringing true for me.

Rob is making a huge song and dance about a paint job at the shop, watching tradesmen like a hawk and project managing like crazy.
In contrast, Bert's bungalow seems to be building itself by magic. No one mentions its progress, how the builders are getting on, when it's going to be finished.........

Or are we to believe that two houses are lying derelict on Brookfield land while six or seven people share a bathroom in the main house and no one gives either one a thought?

Is Rob actually managing workmen closely or just telling people he is?

Thankyou Pseudo . I am sorry to read your news

Lordy. They can't seriously be planning a Brookfield dee eye vee oh are cee ee?

Stopping by at Ambridge Tea Rooms.

Justin mentioned that his friend who is coming to the shoot is Polish. I reckon he'll somehow know Stefan.

I liked the way Dan's friends messed around with the centerpiece. The marquee must have been packed for them to have been warm in it in November.

Well this is getting worse and worse. Could they leave us with the sl we have for a moment perhaps?

I fear the Richard Locke sl is heading for him being dans dad despite there being no evidence that could be the case at the time

My dad was complaining about how unsubtle the archers has become. For him to say that says it all!!!

Wobbles in guided by Bore. Was wondering around the old thread. I need one of Carol's tisanes.

toomuchtea it's not only you. squirrels. Plural

Cutted I totally agree. When I was seriously menopausal I felt horrendous even I didn't like me but at least my DH was understanding, whereas Daveed does not seem to care about Ruth. He discusses everything with the very irritating pipsqueak, and Ruth is just expected to fall into line.

Am I the only one who thinks Rob will love having a daughter, will dote on her as baby (fine enough, accept Henry shut out) but turn into a controlling monster about his wee flower later on? I don't think baby gender will bother Knob.

But if it wasn't going to bother him there would be no need for the SWs to stress his determination to have a son.

Dramatic tension, I mean he might bluster a bit and then completely pretend like he's totally delighted. But is he?

Bit like if if Jess's baby was his... it wasn't. They bluffed us.
