I don’t know if what’s going on with Hannah and Neil is realistic … but I find it odd that pretty much everyone of working age in Ambridge has a job.
As an urban-dweller I’m often led to believe that there’s a particularly big issue with rural unemployment. And there’s a high number of people of retirement age who are still in work in Ambridge.
The general situation with employment in Ambridge seems very strange to me. I’m struck by how many people are “entrepreneurial” and are prepared to work for themselves. No-one’s on unemployment benefits, no-one seems to claim in-work benefits and no-one seems to claim sickness benefits …
And also on the subject of employment and “The Archers”, I don’t think I buy into the idea that an 18 year old can run a stately home! (This is partly because I don’t have a business brain of any sort!)
There are amazingly gifted young people who do indeed start businesses – but running a stately home or a country house?!
