Boredom is sometimes hard to define. Given their mutual interest in trains you might have thought that Tony and Trevor would bond at first sight and there would have been no need for a “Badger”. Adam’s voice tends to mean that listeners consider him boring and have forgotten that he took Ian up the polytunnels and seduced him as well as descending to theft of petty cash in the Home Farm till (sorry I know the policy is no-till – one which Adam should have followed). So for Tony and Adam to club together to regard poor old Maurice (Horton) the butcher – who has a back history of gambling, stuffing Tom’s sausages, mentoring Alastair, helping Eddie when facing illegal meat trading charges and fancying Geraldine the assistant manager at Lower Loxley – more excitement in a month of Sundays than Adam and Tony have managed between them!
Most of this week was Natasha being bl***y-minded and to be honest it was hardly an adult approach. She is married to Tom who clearly needs to be taught about boundaries where his family are concerned and given the absence of the usual family meeting to discuss the opening of a packet of crisps it really was abnormal. Has any member of the family seen the current processing arrangements; the size of the laptop needed to do the accounts and marketing or remember the fuss they made when the packing room was under threat from BL for redevelopment – it was essential and now despite the huge success of Bridge Fresh it can be shrunk sufficiently to allow Natasha to be shoe-horned in.
All sorts of strange theories about Ruari and his life in London. I just think he has had enough of Alice to last a lifetime and wants to find his own way in the world.
