Was it Rob or Charlie that called Ed a yokel?

That standard issue article - definite mumsnetter

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 18:39

She's no worse than a lot of other characters though

Her love for rob will drop rapidly if he starts sniffing around for money.

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 18:39

The that was Charlie and rob told him not to say things out loud like that (with the implicit suggestion he agreed with him)

spiker · 09/02/2016 18:40

Ahah!

Sense of humour is fundamental to a sympathetic character. Well it is for me anyway.

Wouldn't put it past Knob to ask Peggy for a hand out. I can't see Peggy just smiling and writing a cheque though - if she was in character she'd definitely challenge him on job front - as per Gruntled's post.

Thanks for the tip on Standard Issue. My kind of thing. Just given my DH the last pancake so that I could get to the radio without interruption.

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:09

The Tom/Brian/Jenny convo was lovely and normal!

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:12

And some gossiping -need more of that!

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:14

Guess there will be anew chef soon enough

Emma!

spiker · 09/02/2016 19:14

Silent Buttons are back!

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:16

Ha ha! Wayne is a genius idea. If only he wasn't so irritating

spiker · 09/02/2016 19:24

I thought Wayne was a waste of space...or am I confusing him with somebody's dad...

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:31

Yes he's fallons dad

He is a waste of space but I suppose joke be feels she can sort him out. Sounds like a recipe for marital strife

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 19:31

Jolene not joke be!!

Greengager · 09/02/2016 19:40

Bored of Rex and Toby. Their names sound like they should belong to a pair of excitable Labrador puppies.

Marchate · 09/02/2016 19:45

Wayne, I think, is a baker by trade? He has helped in the Bull before

PresidentOliviaMumsnet · 09/02/2016 19:47

@AdventuresOfADentist

I know previous posters have linked to the justgiving page (which has now topped £40000), but do you think we could make a separate thread for it on MN? I know it's TA related and a lot of people wouldn't know what we were on about, but others might be interested as apparently it's the biggest campaign/single amount that's ever been raised for Refuge apparently. Any thoughts welcome.

Let me see what I can find out

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/02/2016 19:49

Oh god, not Phlegmy Wayne!

The Crystal Ball is most displeased - it says it should and will, evetually, be Emma.

EsmesBees · 09/02/2016 19:50

Also bored of them. Toby is such a horrible cliche of a character. 'She comes with a farm attached'- who talks like that?

KingscoteStaff · 09/02/2016 20:15

Isn't he the chap who Harrison arrested for dealing weed at Loxfest ? Maybe he'll be stirring some extra ingredients into the Sunday roast gravy.

MrsWembley · 09/02/2016 20:25

Oh god, what have I missed now???Hmm Is Ian leaving?

Eastpoint · 09/02/2016 20:57

It's ok MrsWembley, Ian's the chef at Grey Gables, not The Bull.

MrsWembley · 09/02/2016 21:27

Oh, thank god! I just read 'chef' and assumed Ian! I'd forgotten that they were looking for someone at the pubSmile

spiker · 09/02/2016 21:29

Labradors! Spot on GreengagerGrin

millymollymandy46 · 09/02/2016 22:23

Many thanks, Blackeyedshepherdsbringsheep, ColdTeaAgain and LillianGish, it's all coming back to me now - yes Rob was the one who suggested Canada, presumably hoping that Tom would have a terrible accident there and the family heirlooms would pass straight to him! And yes, it was Tom's stag do where he was rotten to Kenton.

The combination Helen needs to see (but won't now that she won't be trusted to see anyone by HRH) is that of Kirsty and Usha!

BYOSnowman · 09/02/2016 22:29

I'm not sure usha will be appearing any time soon. I think a combo of Kirsty, Peggy and Lillian would be good!! I would have said Pat but only if she gets her personality back first.
