Orange Is The New Black in Ambridge. Just ask Helen. But will anyone in The Archers ever ask her WHY?

[PseudoBadger]

I reckon this thread will see us through the Euros, both footy and referendum. Await the clunky topical inserts here.

But isn't the story written 6 weeks in advance? Has it been 6 weeks since the back of SOC was seen?

I guess, with people leaving (or promising to leave,) and other people busy with outside commitments, there hasn't really been anyone actually in charge and keeping a firm hold on the story. So they're just lurching from one unconvincing possibility to the next ...

I thought I was reading one of the post-referendum threads then!

SOC is still shown as editor at least up to 15th July in the cast lists.

What's all this talk of a referendum ? I haven't noticed any threads on that

I wonder when SOC will show up at EE.

I take it that Josh will fail his A levels and become a millionaire.

I thought that was quite a good episode.

I loved Susan getting her oar tabard in.

Yes, so did I. I said the word 'tabards' about 5 seconds before she did

and a BOOP as we didn't have to endure Patn'Tone

I hope that was your name badge you were polishing there gaspode

Not heard tonight's episode yet, so chickengate may have moved on. But in the frozen north a POL costs £12. Didn't they say Josh had taken about 75 chickens to Hollowtree? If Josh is paying maybe a trade price of £8, that's still £600. If he pay that to Neil from his own pot of gold the fairy left him savings, then why didn't he just buy them for the new business in the first place??

Because he's an entitled brat who considers Neil beneath him?

Sara I think he had to go through the shame and humiliation first.

or am I mixing it up with the football ?
Gold Tabard anyone ?

I can't wait for the episode where Susan tells Rob he has to wear an ethically sourced organic hemp tabard .

The way Susan is deliberately undermining the 'Upper Class Eggs' sales is hilarious, she won't have to do that any more, if she does Josh and Tobes'll send round the 'eavies.

I am SO glad I am away and unable to listen.
Sorry for the pain that you lot are going through though

Where are you the ISS? you can get The Archers everwhere - no excuses!

Sara it has moved on. The savings have gone and then some.

he has to buy out the business, as it was before he started running it down. savings, and a loan from his parents.

Josh really is an idiot, isn't he?

The way Susan is deliberately undermining the 'Upper Class Eggs' sales is hilarious, she won't have to do that any more, if she does Josh and Tobes'll send round the 'eavies.

Less keen on her undermining the farm shop in favour of the village shop, though, not while she's actually working there.

Ppeat, I read that as 'will send round the elves'.
They need to do something useful, after sitting in the woods.

Minim there isn't an elf emojji or you could've had one to feed your obsession

Isn't Susan working in both shops atm Ebear ? Agree she shouldn't be sneering at organics, they're paying her. She's so cheap .

Yes, she is - her Bridge Farm shop hours were set to fit in round what she already does. Not sure when Anya's due back from travelling.
