Brenda: she's a flyer!


Not sure what Brenda's tutors were thinking, but she seems to have graduated thinking that marketing = “flyers and press releases and stuff”

And what sort of those state are those flyers?

Did I miss something, or did she take a graphic design course? She made have done so instead of turning up to the PR section of her course (she secured press coverage for Deck the Halls AFTER it had taken place. No grumbles about that being a good brand building exercise, but methinks the point was to try and get more folks to the event that year, rather than the next). I think we should be told – and graphic designers should be taking a huff over the assumption that any old fool can plonk together a design.

But, after the offer of two projects in one day, I think Brenda might even ponder starting up her own business. I think the Marketing moguls of this world need not be concerned: Tom’s Sausages is joined by Brenda’s Flyers?

Pat's Village Shop Mafia

As has been mentioned in an earlier episode, Pat seems to be only asking Archers, or the partners of Archers, onto the village shop committee (Usha aside - but there simply isn't a lawyer in the clan).

A ploy to make sure that it stays in the family (though Peggy is technically a Woolley)? Or a very small social circle? Or is it sheer snobbery that's making her avoid the likes of Susan Carter ...???
