Once again our listeners demonstrate their versatility when Clare from Clapham, our resident housing expert, reveals her skills with the recorder. Lucy says last week ran out of time and apparently she thought she must have died when Roifield published a “best off” compilation!
Lucy disproved this and was in fine form in the week in Ambridge getting in Fallon’s bangers within seconds of starting. This is a somewhat off the wall suggestion but I do wonder if the madness amongst the Aldridge clan is in fact down to the poison they have all been ingesting for many years from Low Mead and not just spilt ink from the scriptwriters’ pens.
Lucy then takes David Archer to task as he is practising gender inequality being much harsher on his son Josh than he is on daughter Pip. Lucy is not sure about Josh being forced to pay rent (but putting little effort into the farm) whilst Pip may be living rent free at Woodbine (and putting little effort into the farm due to her condition). Rightly the writer Adrian Flynn gets a round of applause for an excellent week.
Witherspoon is back with us and in good form talking about Freddie and his drug dealing exploits with the fruit pickers at Home Farm. Lucy reveals that a “pargetter” undertakes decorative waterproof plastering in East Anglia.
And the legal nonsense in the various partnership agreements – particularly for the vet practice are dissected.
As there are two weeks covered there are two social media updates this week. Henceforth Ruari will be known as “Ryanair”.
