Really? I never knew that about seat belts

Never let it be said that The Archers doesn’t continue its fine tradition of spreading information and knowledge.

Is Jim right? Is it true that car can be too old to have seat belts and still be let on the roads?!?

Not sure that Jim also bought Pip’s story. She was blatantly bullshitting, desperately grabbing for a sense of reason. She might think she had the old man fooled, but there’s no fool like a whiny teenage one.



Ambridge men not quite up to carrying off gladiatorial splendour

Quite agree with you there Jim (one imagines!).

Though a party with instructions doesn’t sound like a fun prospect.

Just like those ‘murder dinners’, it all becomes a bit much trying to get yourself organised, then ‘playing the part’, when all you really need is a few bottles of wine and some music.


“The Surfing is wicked.” You complete and utter a**e!

Yup – we’ve seen it coming, but there’s the proof that Jude is an immature wanker.

While I admit to not being entirely up-to-date with street chatter, I really don’t think a 28 year old should be calling anything ‘wicked’, not getting pouty because he couldn’t go on the zip slide.

And, of course, he’s an ignorant son-of-a-lady-dog for the whole “you can pay me back” malarkey.

That’s nothing about being old fashioned, and expecting the bloke to pay. It’s an incredibly rude and inconsiderate way to treat anyone, let alone your girlfriend.

So, I guess we’re in for many months of Pip being treated like crap but not doing anything about it, then months of being inconsolable when David is proven right.

Oh, there’s a thought. How intolerable are David and Ruth going to be when Pip wakes up to herself. *sigh*
