He's not a pheasant poacher, he's a pheasant poacher's grandson. Join us for trials, tribulations and tipsy tractor trips in Ambridge.

Will this thread see the end of The Trial? And SOC?

[ErrolTheDragon]

Phoebe shouldn't need too much IKEA stuff for an Oxford college though, should she?

[Vango]

On the subject of George, I find myself wondering occasionally about Alan's missing money and George's mysterious 'savings'. I was looking forward to that storyline developing.

[ErrolTheDragon]

Yes, I think George is being set up as the next Grundy to indulge in mildly dodgy dealing.

[EmilyDickinson]

I agree. I wonder what temptations secondary school might throw up?

[RandomDent]

George is def a Del Boy in the making. :)

@Gruach

THIS IS THE THREAD POLICE, (if only).

Wouldn't usually be so erm .. definite but

DO NOT POST HERE❗️

We are on the NEW THREAD and things are too exciting atm for you to be loitering here.

NEW THREAD. CLICK LINK ABOVE

Ahem, you after my job?
(only joking)
Off to new thread and flouting protocol closing this one.

[BlackeyedSusan]

finally....

[ErrolTheDragon]

Its OK, we know there's a new thread. Some of us just wanted to hang here a while longer and witter about whats going on in the real world back in Ambridge. Has Adam managed to finish his drilling despite Alice trashing the humungous machine (technical term)? Has anyone grown a good marrow this year?

[RandomDent]

Oh is this still open? Good. I think we're always a bit quick to move. :)
What's Will's wife called? Is it Nic? What happened to her?

[ErrolTheDragon]

Yes, its Nic. Presumably shes mostly back at the cottage with Poppy (how old is she now?), on the school run etc.

[RandomDent]

Ive just googled giant marrows and feel a bit sick. They're all a bit knobbly.

[Vango]

An update from Vicky and Bethany would be nice. Who do we think will be driving Phoebe up to Oxford?

[ErrolTheDragon]

Yes, it would be good to hear from the rest of the Tuckers. Actually, getting rid of them was probably the thing which was worse than some of SOCs more elaborate schemes.

Phoebes lift to oxford - oh please not either Jenny or Kate. Roy or Alice wouldn't embarrass her.

[Vango]

And Jim! Where's he gone? I miss the Latin, his chats with Jazzer and rivalry with Robert. So many characters have been sidelined this year. Caroline seems to have returned from Italy a changed person. I used to like her before.

[RandomDent]

I had a dream that I grew a giant marrow and upset the regulars at the Flower and Produce Show

[Vango]

Here's hoping it's a premonition of things to come Random! Seems a long time since the war of the roses.
