Lucy is a little better than last week – and that is just the jokes which as usual take her “Week in Ambridge” to places the writers would never even consider – mentioning both Brexit and Plovdiv, the second largest city of Bulgaria! I hope that I do not need to explain the dual meaning of “poppers”.
I was confused over discussions of “Basil” and “sex” as I misheard it as “Boris” and thought Prime Ministers were too busy to indulge in such matters but apparently the “Basil” is not the one of the busses but is in fact a boar (the other one might be a bore too come to think of it). I don’t understand why Hannah has not been sacked both for her insubordination and for using a ladder without a method statement approved by a team of H&S experts.
The Academic Archers pop in to do the Song Swan of Barwick Green. To answer Roifield’s question: Dr Nicola Headlam is the Urban Transformations & Foresight Future of Cities Knowledge Exchange Research Fellow, funded by the ESRC (I think I am legally required to quote the last bit). She is part of COMPAS, School of Anthropology, University of Oxford. Roifield is apparently the “grout” that holds us all together!
