Jim is supposed to be Jill
Susan’s going to have an apoplexy soon.
Jim’s on a shift when Jill should be there – and what about those out-of-date fruit buns!
Eeek. It’s enough to make a woman like Susan really lose the plot.
But, methinks Susan forgets that:
“All those years of hard work, ruined by amateurs”
Is a load of rubbish.
Wasn’t Susan running the shop at a loss?!?
Still, I liked Jim’s retort:
“It’s the hollow reed that doesn’t snap”
Though he then let himself down with:
“oh whatever, as Dan would say”
Well beneath you, Mr Lloyd.
Lured them away from the field like a pied piper
Clarrie’s only response to Caroline’s usurpation of Eddie’s customers was that it served him, and Joe, right.
Seemingly Marcus Froggert (and chums) are having a grand old time at Grey Gables.
And Marcus once tried to woo Caroline by taking her on a date to an antiques fair.
Saucy!
The Bull in its place
It’s very easy to forget how central any pub is to a village – it’s less about drinking, more about people.
Tonight felt like it was more about The Bull than it was Sid.
Lilian’s ‘rosy glow’, all those who have part owned or worked there.
“There’s only ghosts behind this bar – people I’ve known and lost”
Which raises the question, just who might be Lording over The Bull next?
Eddie - You’re lucky Clarrie wasn’t in earshot
“We were all jealous – held a torch for Jolene for years. A man can dream …”
You’d have been right back into the bad books, wonderful speech or not!
And you may also have competition if you’re thinking of trying for Jolene now that Sid’s out of the way.
Wasn’t that Wayne spotted in the bar?
Last words for Sid:
“Sid was a popular man”
“Genial, courteous, congenial – diplomatic – Sid was all … and more”
“Great team manager
“Wonderful friend”
“Generous employer”
“Excellent host”
“Gentleman and friend”
Um. That’s not the way I’ll remember the randy wee bigoted tyrant, but I’ll be charitable and leave it to Eddie to have the final say:
“ Laughter is like music that lingers in the heart and when the melody is heard, the ills of life depart”

was happy to hear someone mention Wayne's presence, and really hoped to hear his voice. i became quite fond of it during his story arc last year. ah well.
More of Wayne to come, considering how well he got on with Jolene, and the patching up of his relationship with Fallon?
or would that be too obvious?
