*The Archers No.95* *Welcome to the 'real' world Ben and Ruarhi, the bad boys of on roading and welcome to the cereal cupboard little Rosie *!

Thanks to witchmountain for the last thread and to dadx3 for Godfathering them! Also to any other posters whose ideas I have borrowed for the title.

I was cheering during kentons conversation with Lily the other day, he seems to be the only person who has any sense about Russ.

chemenger Brilliant.

The shop - Jack's daughter's business interests go pear shaped due to Brexit uncertainty and the shop is sold at a knock down price. Susan wins the lottery (minor drama when Neil has misplaced the ticket in the tea towel drawer). Susan buys the shop and installs a kefir fermenter. She also purchases a large badge with Owner/Manager in bold print. She strikes a deal with Hannah to buy fruit juice for blending with said kefir and they have a huge commercial success. Tom is employed as a shop assistant when all his trees die of despair.

I don't mean Hannah do I? The Welsh one.

Could Rex be the replacement for Geraldine?

#me'n'aw was epic! Love Jazzer.

More likely the replacement for Russ!

Yes! But I quite like to hear Russ whining, I like to get cross at him.

Lily and Rex?

He’s quite a bit older but she seems to prefer that!

@TheEfficientBaxter I hope you will come back. The thread has moved on, the past is another country etc etc.

Nobody's laughing at you Baxter. I am a bit of a prat for thinking this is AIBU and riding in on my high horse to witch's defence.

Do we think Russ is putting emotional pressure on Lily to return? It's not as if we hear him texting and calling continuously, so it seems as if he respects that Lily needs to spend time at LL. But interesting how she is taking care to not mention his name to others.

Could Rex be the replacement for Geraldine?

I think he might be the replacement for Russ!

Not just me then.

Dadx3 I did mention upthread that I have an Archer's recipe book written by Jenny's actress in 1994. In which she spells Linda Snell's name with an 'i' not a 'y' .

Baxter Don't take it seriously , we can be pedants too, it's just a bit of fun , isn't it everyone?

I'm just catching up but Natasha is as vile and bonkers as Hannah. That dinner was excruciating to listen to. And who brings their hostess a gift and insists on her gift being opened? And who brings refreshing eye gel as a present to a dinner party?

Someone with old stock left over from a past career, with the vanity of youth (ish) and the tact of sledgehammer to the face.

Even Tone said it was vast improvement

#Me’n’all - brilliant!

Heartfelt Thankyou, DDD, for your private message.

I confess I have no idea how to reply in the same way! My phone doesn't seem to want to show me how to do it.

But, after your kind and inspiring words, I will stick around!

Thankyou. And I really mean that.

Concur with ideas Rex and Lily having possibilities, as soon as as she's kicked Russ into touch.

I also rather like Elizabeth's dogged adherence to the judge "making an example of Freddie", purely in terms of how things will pan out later; she'll be all over Freddie saying this when he gets out, and he'll have got way past any such thoughts.

No problem, Baxter. Come here for The Archers, stay for the friendly banter.

I missed the #Me'an'all gag (I was listening in the car, and must have just registered it as a muffled MeToo), so I'm glad I've got you guys to point these things out.

BOOP for Kenton tonight. I wondered the same about Lily and Rex. Imagine Robin if he marries Lily!

I’m glad you’re going to stay Baxter.

To add to my scenario Natasha and Susan formulate soothing kefir eye gel and are endorsed by Gwyneth Paltrow, who makes a guest appearance at the summer fete.

What's the 'me'an'all' thing? I heard the episode but I didn't hear that. I don't get it.

Jazzer put Hannah in his bed but slept on the sofa.

So as to avoid being part of the MeToo thing.

chemenger I dread to think where Gwyneth would want to put kefir.
