There is a whole world out there that ISN’T Ambridge! #TheArchers

And what’s more. George will have his appointment while Akram is working at the surgery, will make a helpful suggestion & Akram will immediately sign George up for an apprenticeship. Yes. The Ambridge Job Fairy strikes again. #TheArchers

I’m hoping Shula will come back with green hair, tattoos and a nose ring. #TheArchers

What other trio share a house in Ambridge and one of them is about to go to Oz? #TheArchers

I thought it had been mentioned many times that Paul doesn’t drive. Always seemed a bit odd. Going to take him ages to get a test!

The Joint FIFA and Mrs Joyful Prize for Raffia Work? As Molesworth would say.

Don’t think Ed can win: if he tells Emma she’ll go ballistic at the suggestion that her baby boy needs professional help: he just needs everyone to love him like she does. And then if Ed doesn’t tell her she’ll be cross about being kept in the dark. #TheArchers

Wondering if there is any risk that Pickles the Dog will run off with the peace prize? (One for the older readers there)

This Peace Prize is the worst piece of craven toadying since our PM produced a piece of gold-embossed paper inviting the man to have a holiday in Windsor.

What exactly is there for him to”find out”? As I recall they sort of agreed they fancied each other & she then got a taxi to the airport. George already knows she won’t come back to him. Hopefully they won’t β€œdo anything” immediately. Brad won’t want to hurt him. #TheArchers

No. We have no evidence - I made it up as an example of her following up an interest and studying it for its own sake and to give her important skills. Long live arts and humanities!#TheArchers

They’ll have to be gutted. Presumably Eddie then delivers them& people freeze them? Or are they hung like game in the sophisticated (ie draughty) turkey shed? It happens every year so we all ought to know. #TheArchers

Because that is women’s work. The world would cease to turn if a Grundy male were to do the plucking (apart from creating a stupid machine). #TheArchers

I said that any turkey put into an automatic plucker would need someone to hold on VERY hard to its legs or it would become extremely bruised. Seems I was right. #TheArchers

I see. I thought you were thinking of something more existential and I wondered what Iain and Xander would make of it. #TheArchers

Clarrie said it was the deep cleaning they made her do at the school the other week. (Presumably with no gloves?) #TheArchers

I’d like her to be inspired to do a degree in Medieval History because it interested her and would be 2 fingers to all the people who think university should be a direct apprenticeship for a defined job. #TheArchers

Maybe she didn’t want to give George too much detail? #TheArchers

Does George need to know now? Amber leaves. She & Brad agree to do nothing for now but she returns home. In a couple of years they meet up again and see how they feel. Brad was v sensible when he split up with Mia. #TheArchers

Oh God. I hope this trauma isn’t going to mess up with Brad getting his degree. #TheArchers

I thought it was interesting that George seems to relate more to children (Keira, Martha) than to adults. He’s just a kid trying to act like he’s a grownup and mostly failing. #TheArchers

Yes folks, it’s the 1st entry in the annual β€œcan this be worse than the Grundy World of Christmas” competition.

Could George have done a better job?

Christmas is on its way. #TheArchers
