Thefts, arson and abuse: The Archers - it's an everyday story of cuntery, folks.

[PseudoBadger]

Thanks to Lancelottie for the title

Place marking!

I haven't heard it since Sunday and I can't find my headphones for my phone so am deprived of my usual catch-up opportunity (I listen while bf DD2 to sleep of an evening) - disaster. Thank goodness you're all here to keep me informed for everyone!

I slightly hated Clarrie and Eddie last night tbh.

There's no actual proof that Alf took the money, they may be just casting him off without good reason.

He is annoying though, so maybe that's good reason enough.

Thank you for Klaxon, listening now. Aw Carrie and Eddie, bet it wasn't Alf though.

The last time Alf came to stay he emptied William's moneybox, so they have good reason to suspect him.

Oh, and thanks for the new thread, Pseudo!

Place marking 😊

Dorothy too "nice", surely! It didn't ring true to me..,

I'd put that £400 on it not being Alf that pinched it.

Maybe it was Dorothy Wot Dunnit?

The angst over Alf being the thief seems to be clearly signposting that Alf is not the thief

Alf is a known (and convicted?) thief who had no qualms in stealing from a child's piggy bank - he pretty much admitted to clarrie that he took the money from her wallet and he did a flit. It's not that much of a stretch to assume it was him.

Asking - I had also thought she was a soldier - is she an army medic maybe?
Doesn't really matter what she does, she is there to be help-meet to Dan.

I picture her as a bit of a Kate Middleton - steering herself to be wife to Someone Special as her chosen career.

Shalli just so long as you've never served mint across two courses of the meal, you'll be fine, honestly, don't worry about it. I'm sure none of your guests have ever returned mentioned it, and when your great auntie visited and went out that time with sopping wet hair, it was just coincidence she got pneumonia, and nothing to do with your complete failure to provide a towel at all - even the undertaker said so.

Could Dorothy be a professional lion tamer?

Well thanks for the new thread Psuedo , but it's not a title I would've chosen, because as I pointed out to DD1, if we're 'reclaiming' the C word, why use it as an insult?

Knob saying to Hell "I'm not a monster you know" a definite BOOP point I reckon; hilarious.

Dorothy works in the NHS, so anything from medical receptionist to consultant surgeon, but sadly probably Nurse or Mid wife.
Yes she did sound like trouble to me, all very reasonable but the kind of person who in RL would turn out to be a nightmare. (Or could be on the spectrum if the SWs listen to us, in which case I'd get the odd behaviour and rule following.)

I wondered if Dorothy is going to be a conveniently on-hand midwife for dramatic Hellin-labour?

And SWs must have known what they were doing with making Dan a friend of Dorothy - they are playing games with us. Norty SWs.

I wondered if Dorothy is going to be a conveniently on-hand midwife for dramatic Hellin-labour?

Surely not. They did that last time with Amy.

I thought Mormon too

I wasn't listening tho!! Oh no I just hadn't put my clocks right and thought it was time for Brian of Britain. Or something

lancelotte - genderfluid ! Where have I been .

My DS offering of " just a heads up that James ( you remember he's trans ? ) likes to be called Sofia now " seems very tame .

And James's mum ,should you be reading this - he's a lovely person and you have all my sympathy for this extra layer of offspring angst .

lancelottie that made me and DD(18) really laugh!

Great title Pseudo and lancelottie , Thankyou once again.

DS "Our sex ed teacher has these really old-fashioned ideas! She's put up this poster saying "Some people are gay, get over it" Like, seriously, she thinks sexuality is binary straight / gay? We're all, like, seriously? You still think that? Doesn't she know anything about sexuality? "

DD "Yeah, her generation used to think being gay was a big deal. Weird, huh?"

Who would be a sex ed teacher?

Dorothy is possibly Mormon Muddha or born again, having taken the 'virginity' pact (or whatever).

I don't listen and barely read this thread at the mo, but read out Lancelottie's inspired title to DH. He said it reminded him of a very long joke with which he wouldn't bore me, but whose punchline was one chap saying "but you see , I'm a country member" and the other saying "Ah yes, I do remember".

I've found missing Tony! He's currently moonlighting as a detective in Grantchester. We might need those skills...
