The thinking woman's radio drama π
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
09.02.2026 08:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This 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
11.01.2026 15:36 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ed. He didn't know it was Will's dog. Ed and Emma bought him a sheepdog puppy for Christmas after it happened #thearchers
11.01.2026 14:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Completely 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
11.01.2026 12:06 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes, 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 π #thearchers
11.01.2026 11:59 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes, 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
10.01.2026 21:04 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We 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
10.01.2026 21:02 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Ooh! I always add peas. Then broccoli on the side for extra greeness
10.01.2026 13:47 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And margarine because, well, it's cheap π
10.01.2026 09:52 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yep, I agree (although generally sans beurre π). I mentioned that Clary loves all things French #thearchers
10.01.2026 09:52 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Exactly, so familiar to us common as muck people π #thearchers
10.01.2026 09:37 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I 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
10.01.2026 08:00 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If ever we needed proof that Will was the problem, last night's episode was it #thearchers
10.01.2026 07:53 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Traditionally in the north it's with every dinner but I agree, fish and chips seems to be the last of the traditional ways #thearchers
10.01.2026 07:50 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes if they're following northern cuisine, no if French. Clarrie is (was?) very fond of France #thearchers
09.01.2026 23:28 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I can confidently answer no. 3 - they wouldn't. Therefore Someone Else Did! Still mystery to be solved there I think #thearchers
09.01.2026 23:25 β π 8 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1They definitely wouldn't have called the ambulance. Therefore, someone else did. Fallon? Harrison? Brad? Still plenty of mystery to go, I think #thearchers
09.01.2026 23:23 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If 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
09.01.2026 15:21 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yep, without raisins the teacake would just be a bread cake #thearchers
09.01.2026 14:58 β π 8 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0And a Sit Down π
09.01.2026 14:56 β π 11 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We have muffins too but they don't usually contain fruit. Cheese sometimes, they're very nice #thearchers
08.01.2026 23:34 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's the best time of year for them π
07.01.2026 19:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0We're all different π
07.01.2026 19:20 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0These days, to add flavour and texture to veg stew. Oh and carbohydrates too π
07.01.2026 19:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0They're just so much tastier than most carbohydrates π
07.01.2026 19:01 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Pallid? Only if they're not cooked right π
07.01.2026 18:59 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, it does make sense that the children are still close.
07.01.2026 14:42 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I reckon it must be relevant somehow. Perhaps Keira has confided in Henry? Or is going to? #thearchers
