A reason for feeling some sympathy for Kenton is that, unlike us listeners, he will not be aware of the immutable rule that central characters cannot leave Ambridge. Looking at things from Kenton’s point of view the sale of Brookfield was a done deal; and objectively, there was little reason for it not to happen. So it was not a crazy thing to run up debt on the holiday; entrepreneurs take on debt on an expectation of future income which is not guaranteed, governments borrow against future taxes etc. I feel less sympathy about the insurance claim, as I think they had a warning when the drains overflowed and ruined Jolene’s stuff in the cellar, which Kenton did little about afterwards.
I don’t understand why Shula and Elizabeth can’t put in a bit more. Nor will I feel any sympathy if David & Ruth bleat on about milk prices in the near future, given they obviously have plenty of cash lying around, if they can afford to carry the bailout.
I agree with you that there has been some boring stuff in the past week, especially around Pip and conversations with David and others on not going away. The Rob and Helen story is carrying the show a bit at the moment. Leaving Ruth up in the North has taken the drama out of the Heather story, and there is not much else around.
