The Archers: Jamie harnesses the negative aspects of social networking … Jolene’s causing a bad atmosphere

  • “You’re not a friend anymore”
  •  Clarrie in her gardening shorts
  •  I’d also be a bit grumpy if …
  •  Is no-one safe from Kathy’s bleetings?
  •  As if Jolene hasn’t got enough problems


“You’re not a friend anymore”

Ouch!

It must be bad enough that you know someone else doesn’t want to know you when you’re Friend Request is ignored on Facebook – but it must really hurt to be taken off as a Friend.

Jamie takes Kathy off as his friend on Facebook, which I think is fair enough.

After all, what teenage lad wants him mum seeing all of his banters?

“I’m your mum and have a right to know what you’re doing”

Which is fair enough in a sense – parents are very right to be worried about who their kids are meeting online.

But, there’s also the issue of trusting in your kid. And Jamie doesn’t seem too naive.

Especially as Kenton is still allowed to be his Facebook friend. Which Jamie took great joy in telling Kathy about …

Still, it sounds like what Jamie needs is to get back out of his room.

Maybe cricket is the answer?


Clarrie in her gardening shorts

That really can’t be that bad.

Can it?

I’m sure The Bull’s punters would appreciate something cheerful!


I’d also be a bit grumpy if …

… I’d torn one of my teats.

That’d surely smart a tad!


Is no-one safe from Kathy’s bleetings?

The woman seems to be wandering about Ambridge spreading her tale of woe and neglect.

Fair enough to dump it all on Pat (who seems to come alive when offering coffee and sympathy), but is there no end to it?

I’m almost starting to completely side with Kenton.


As if Jolene hasn’t got enough problems


Now it seems like her ‘loyal’ punters think she’s “putting a downer on the place”.

“Not everyone’s prepared to tip toe around a bereaved landlady on their night off”

Very true.

But aren’t a lot of them also supposed to be her friends?
