Rob - dead? No, no, he's, er, resting. He's just pining for the Canadian plains. As Helen is taken into custardy, discuss the Archers here.

24 hours for 1 thread!!

I like the fact that you can half-remember something, and someone else will not only be able to give you chapter and verse, but also the exact place you can find a recording of it (still grateful to the person who let me listen again to salmon-gate).

Scones, Kr1stina? Did you make them or are they Christine's?

Oh Jill makes very nice scones -she brought some round earlier. Tea, anyone?

The police car & ambulance would have driven past Peggy's front door as BHC is up the road & on the left from the Lodge. You would have thought she would have wandered up there more often in daylight hours as it's such a short hop. Why didn't Christine do with her?

Speaking of clever posters who know and remember all... can someone explain the hunt sab and also the Stefan thing? Who if Stefan? I had a period of not listening because I got a bit irritated so I have a context gap.

Funnily enough i barely post on these currently, and when I do I am mostly ignored (apart from the first few posts). Bastards

I confess that I had a mild panic when posting yesterday that I might actually land on the 50,000th post and old-timers might be annoyed (I think I accidentally contributed hundreds to the last thread).

I am a laydee barrister. Do I get tea too?

I actually LA to yesterdays' today. The tuna denial was what did it for me. Proof of gaslighting.
Our poor dog was cowering as all the shouting was going on.

Only if I know you ! Crim?

Oh cutted joking aside I put mine upstairs quickly as they hate shouting.

Just been speaking to my little brother, a lapsed listener, who declared that he had in fact stopped listening about 3 years ago because he found Helen so annoying it was unbearable. Said he turned on randomly yesterday lunchtime just as she stabbed Rob and thought "typical bloody Helen!".

Bloody Peggy. About as much use as a chocolate fire guard

No, Wordsaremything, employment. Does that mean no tea?

Limelight
Hunt saboteur was trying to sabotage. Rob didn't take too well to this and got violent. Was witnessed by Shula. HS tried to bring charges. Shula backed up Rob's version of events, perjuring herself.
Stefan worked at Berrow Farm. Saw Rob doing something bad during the flood and told people. Next thing we know Stefan had to rush back to Eastern Europe for some family emergency and has been untraceable since.

What is the photo that comes up instead of a smiley? Or is it just my phone?

Pseudo - your posts get highlighted as the OP - they are really hard to ignore!

Stefan was one of the farm workers who saw Rob messing around a culvert at the time of the flood, said culvert subsequently turning out to have been mysteriously blocked and causing the water to divert from Berrow and causing the flood in the village to be much worse than it would otherwise have been; Charlie nearly drowned clearing it. Stefan told David and Jennifer who got all interested and spoke to Stefan, but subsequently seem to have forgotten all about it. Shortly afterwards he mysteriously disappeared, allegedly having gone back to his home country and having only told Rob he was going.

Thanks R4!

Please can someone remind me where Rob was stabbed. I know it was mentioned several times on the thread, but would take me hours to look back and find it.

Whilst irritated with how storyline went yesterday, I love how Archers dramatic episodes heavily feature Custard.

And I love D^3 stats.

Oh and I'm an infrequent poster/ regular lurker. I have also has several names. Always felt welcome and no clique here.

Interesting - but somewhat hurried Kingscote. They're still calling it a murder even after stating that Rob hasn't died.

Ah, with what fondness I recall the 72 hour congas around The Mailbox to celebrate every new poster. Invariably followed by a slap-up cream tea at Harvey Nicks ... Nowadays, with the threads flying by so fast, it sometimes feels as if offering an individual welcome would be drawing attention to myself rather than the newbie.

(I am still assiduously sweeping up lost souls who try to start the first ever MN TA thread ...)

Limelight Briefly: Rob was on a hunt with Shula et al when it was disrupted by some sabs. Rob attacked one of them and broke his camera I believe. Shula lied to Harrison to protect Rob.

Stefan was a Polish worker at Berrow Farm. He witnessed Rob blocking the culvert (causing worse flooding) and reported that to Jenny and David (in D's capacity as Flood Warden) at a secret meeting in a cafe in Borchester. J & D told Charlie. Charlie told Rob he was going to speak to all the employees about it at which point Stefan promptly disappeared. Rob reported to Charlie that he'd been called back to Poland to visit a sick relative. Storyline dropped..........until now?

Poor Henry will probably tell Pat and Tony and Peggy about Tom Rabbit, and foul Peggy will say "Quite right too" and tell him to pull himself together.

Stabs were chest and stomach I think. And a cut wrist
