The Archers

[grannie39]

does anyone know where Ruth Archer is ? and can it get any worse than it is now, Chris Evans 500 words was better that this lot !

[Prudie]

She's oop North, her mum has had a stroke (I think). I haven't heard it this week, listen on Sundays

[jourdain2]

Isn't she back from Northumberland yet? I missed Sunday's marathon and am trying to catch up. Can what get worse? Pat and Tony are on a new, positive note. :)

[DTCwordfan]

She deserves a holiday, doesn't she?

[hellywelly4]

Hardly a holiday DTC - her mother is being very selfish and won't put Ruth's interests first. They talk about her so kindly. If she was a relation of mine I'd tell her a few home truths. This is all my personal opinion and you will probably think I'm awful, but I've seen what this sort of attitude can do to daughters/sons in real life. i haven't listened to tonight's episode, but wonder whether Rob has got away with the blocked culvert issue.

[mikey4444]

Personally, I think someone should have loosened Pets stair carpet a long time and have done with it ! Selfish old bag.

[bookbinder]

It does look as if Rob might have got away with the blocked culvert issue, as key witness Stefan has gone home. I assume 'home' is abroad, so could that be the end of that little matter?

[mikey4444]

BB....No, I don't think so ! It will come back to haunt him one day. This ghastly man is due for an almighty fall from up on high !

Don't forget, Shula knows just what a bar steward he really is !

[hellywelly4]

I think Stephan was from Poland or thereabouts. Can't see Shula saying anything though. He should get his comeuppance though if there is any justice!

[Ric.ror]

Well Ruth might have to stay a bit longer when she finds out how much the care home is

[hellywelly4]

Any comments about Kate barging into Phoebe's love nest?

[bookbinder]

Who was in the wrong there? I reckon it was Kate.

[hellywelly4]

I agree. She showed no understanding at all. I just hope it hasn't put Alex off. Phoebe is 17 after all, and she's reached that age despite having Kate for a mum!

[mikey4444]

Kate is the last person that should be giving anyone advice on sexual matters. Afterall, her daughter was born while she was at Glasto !

Brian is superb these days. We just hear enough of him ! He can do distain lkie no other !

And just what is a "Herbal Lay" please ?

[bookbinder]

Mikey, extensive research reveals that Herbal Ley is some kind of grass seed that is beloved of farmers who want a good sward for their cattle to graze on.

[mikey4444]

BB....I am indebted to you. I wasn't even spelling it right ! I had visions of acres of basil or tarragon !

[bookbinder]

Mikey, don't take up farming!

[mikey4444]

Houseplants are about my limit BB, and even they commit suicide on me !

[The Builder]

Farmers' Corner ..................

Even with good grass, sheep, in particular, are better kept in an enclosure, since it's well known that ............

The pen is mightier than the sward ;o)

[Baldric]

Didn't she go oop north, Durham, Northumberland, some where oop there?

[bookbinder]

He's a real scream, The Builder, isn't he? Thanks for that bit of jollity, The Builder!
