20th August 2010: Alice and Chris' Party


The Archers: It's party time!
  • Clive Horrobin ...
  • The Carter's taste the good life
  • Has Emma got news for Ed!


Clive Horrobin ...

... wasn't even invited!

It was all a joke on Jennifer.

Thinking back on it, I probably should have spotted that it's quite unlikely that Clive would've been let out just for a family party, but I was as clueless as Jennifer.

Cheeky of Alice and Chris, but served Jennifer right for being such a snob.

Her (and Brian's) snobbery didn't really abate as the party progressed:

"Reading isn't one of the Horrobin's skills"

(over them choosing to sit where they liked instead of as dictated by Jennifer's table nameplaces)

But at least all of their concerns were unfounded.

Now all they have to do is survive the Horrobin's at Christmas, birthday parties, anniversaries, christenings ...

The Carter's taste the good life

After all of Jennifer and Brian's snobbery, it was funny that Neil assumed that their 'posh' set as being more likely to create havoc/damage.

"At least they'd have the money to pay"

Susan's cup cake went down a storm, and Neil decided to make an impromptu speech (after panicking that he's have to make one).

After Brian said:

"Chris is a real credit.

Neil returned with:

"Brian must be pleased and proud {Chris has] chosen his lovely daughter to be his wife"

And good on you! Quite right that the Aldridge's understand that Alice is just as lucky to have landed Chris.

While then going on about this marriage being a union between "two great and long established families", Neil then managed to slightly slip up and liken the marriage to being "like pigs ... or any other stock".

Bless. He was just trying to say that Chris and Alice are two prize breeders!

"this is what life will be like from now on ... hobnobbing with the county set"

Ah deary me. Jennifer's going to have to have a whole suitcase full of excuses to avoid Susan and Neil assuming they'll be even invited to hobnob.

Has Emma got news for Ed!

I hadn't really noticed Emma being anything other than Emma recently (Josh's stalking escapades aside).

But there it is.

Emma's pregnant!

And this time it's most definitely Ed's.

Isn't it?
