In honour of how The Archers threads began: Why are the SWs allowing this to happen?

The very first thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/radio_addicts/a1740045-Why-is-Lillian-allowing-this-to-happen

40k posts later....

Ref. to Lil's age, I suppose if you've been riding forever it's better than walking for the arthritis. I don't know though I haven't ridden for years. (I haven't got arthritis btw!) It might be bad for the hips of both of them though.!

Thus limiting any other actions planned

"women make bad choices sometimes, but that doesn't mean they don't know about predator proofing"

Pseudo wouldn't that make a lovely thread title?

Small like that one too! If fact I love that I can read the Rob-speak ones so clearly in his voice.

Yes I like the 'predator proofing' one too TopOfCliff .

I haven't heard yesterday's yet but just looked at Lowfield:

'What Amside is doing is a part of keeping a community together'

What is Amside doing? It hasn't really been mentioned since Tiger's flit, has it?

It's renting out homes to all levels of society and keeping them in their communities. Apparently

I was waiting for all the 'landlords are scum' opinion holders to froth about his piece!!

The Queen still rides regularly afaik & she's nearly 90 so it must be good for her

but who is doing the work, BYOS? Anthea left quite soon didn't she & nobody ever says 'oh Lilian's really busy with Amside'!

Buy to let runs itself dahling.

Yes it's amazing how lil is running am side during her morning coffee but rob and Helen are exhausted from having to share a part time job in a local shop

It's almost as if the sw/ed have never actually had a proper job....

Eddie Mair is discussing EA & The Hellin/Knob storyline on iPM.

Amside didn't help the Grundy family!

Where can we listen to iPM? Is it available as a podcast?

It's on LA - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06wj90z

BBC podcasts are all here - www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts

Half of iPM is devoted to podcasts & how to get them!

Thanks for the Point to Point info Gruach.
I don't really go back that far, though I was around in 1971.

...and with regard to riding, I know several people in their late 70's who ride, usually slowly. It's mounting and dismounting that tends to be a problem with stiff knees and hips.

the Queen has A Knee Thing apparently

& tbf in the most recent pic I've seen of her on horseback she doesn't look relaxed or comfortable

but I am in awe of her still doing it

Is this an innuendo thing ?

Is Pseudo on holiday ?

DadDadDad statistically are we OK ?

I'd like to vote for Gruach's no need to share the thread with anyone else. Incredible to think that not only has Lillian been helping Kate out with her yurts, but also been single-handed in complete control of Amside - a company which used to provide full time employment for Matt, Brenda (then Anthea) and Lillian - yet she still manages to be under Brian's feet most of the time at Home Farm. It's the Ambridge fairy again. Is Justin coming in to replace Oliver and Matt?
