Susan even starts to bore herself

This might have been Pat’s intention all along, but Susan is finally so fed up that she’s considering resigning from the Village Shop committee.

The ‘hurrahs’ heard throughout Ambridge are tinged with worries that Susan will be successful at a tribunal.

Unless, of course, Pat can buy her silence by giving her a job at Bridge Farm.

Susan has been a complete nightmare over this whole Village Shop scenario, but I do have a grudging agreement with her that she was entitled to be treated better. If she does go for a tribunal, she’d be well within her rights – even though the rest of the village will probably see it as churlish.

Best scenario would be for her to take the Bridge Farm job, but still pursue the tribunal.

Yes – the shop was losing money, and yes Peggy was right to do something about it – but the Archers can’t ignore that their actions do impact on other folks. It can’t be much fun sitting around waiting to hear if you have a job or not (though the day that Susan can shut up about it will be a happy one for us all!).

Lynda’s sucking of lemons may have lost her the chair?

Though Neil’s in for a rough ride by a very disgruntled Lynda – lemons to hand or not.

I’d have been more concerned about Jim being added into the mix. Yikes!
