I think I know Claire through #thearchers

Yes, we did, but so long back i can't be sure. I think it was Β£10 million, when Brian was offering in the region of Β£5m #thearchers

This was traditional fare in the north of England too. I think it's still relatively common here, and certainly universal with a fish and chip tea #thearchers

Ed. He didn't know it was Will's dog. Ed and Emma bought him a sheepdog puppy for Christmas after it happened #thearchers

Completely deliberate. There was a long time when he was deliberately disruptive to access arrangements too. What an arse he was during George's childhood #thearchers

Yes, that's the second job that she took on because one day a week as a school cook wasn't enough. So, jaybe four days a week. Knitting ferrets is to occupy her evenings πŸ˜‰ #thearchers

Yes, that's how he bought the house he lives in now with George. For years he rented it out, giving him extra income on top of his gamekeeper wages. He could afford to spoil George with expensive presents and, basically, passed on his own sense of self-entitlement to his son.

It's what happens when pigheadedness combines with stupidity #thearchers

We do know the school job is only one day per week. She told us she couldn't manage with only one day's pay a week, hence needing the second job #thearchers

Ooh! I always add peas. Then broccoli on the side for extra greeness

Yep, I agree (although generally sans beurre πŸ˜„). I mentioned that Clary loves all things French #thearchers

Exactly, so familiar to us common as muck people πŸ˜‚ #thearchers

I wouldn't put it past Harrison to try and fit up Markie's gang for it, either. A nice bit of irony there too #thearchers

If ever we needed proof that Will was the problem, last night's episode was it #thearchers

Traditionally in the north it's with every dinner but I agree, fish and chips seems to be the last of the traditional ways #thearchers

Yes if they're following northern cuisine, no if French. Clarrie is (was?) very fond of France #thearchers

I can confidently answer no. 3 - they wouldn't. Therefore Someone Else Did! Still mystery to be solved there I think #thearchers

They definitely wouldn't have called the ambulance. Therefore, someone else did. Fallon? Harrison? Brad? Still plenty of mystery to go, I think #thearchers

If the feed is mucked up for whatever reason I try clicking on the hashtag. You can usually see the current tweets there and can reply to them #thearchers

Yep, without raisins the teacake would just be a bread cake #thearchers

We have muffins too but they don't usually contain fruit. Cheese sometimes, they're very nice #thearchers

These days, to add flavour and texture to veg stew. Oh and carbohydrates too πŸ™‚

They're just so much tastier than most carbohydrates πŸ™‚

I reckon it must be relevant somehow. Perhaps Keira has confided in Henry? Or is going to? #thearchers
