Ruth was absolutely steaming???

Did I miss a bit? Did Ruth hit the bottle after having words with young Pip?


Retail is not a gentle pursuit

Susan isn’t doing herself any favours, but I’d also be driven to rage if everyone around me was nattering on about a new project which was (probably) about to make me unemployed.

Also surprised that no-one seems to understand that running a shop isn’t just about standing behind a counter. As a receptionist, Lynda should know better.

If there’s one job I’d be loathed to return to, it’d be working in a shop. As well as standing for long hours, it’s a thankless task where you’re more likely to get shouted at than praised.

Maybe they’ve all misunderstood, and are thinking that it’ll be like running a charity shop. Only problem, in a charity shop you accept donations (and some stock sent from head office) – in the Village Shop they’ll be dealing with suppliers, invoices, sell-by dates, the joys of Sunday supplements etc etc etc

Do I detect a complete failure in the offing? Shall Susan start a new career, only to be begged back to her counter?


Audrey nominates Lynda

Hurrah to annoying David.

But who is Audrey? So silent that she’s never been heard of before? Do tell …
