The Archers: Community planting … David outs Alice’s marriage into context

  • Matt’s doing grand for his age
  • Does that explain why Kathy is such a xxxx?
  • An acre in a box
  • “at least we got a working Horrobin with no criminal record, so far”
  • Is anyone good at breakfast small talk?
  • Party!
  • Yes Kenton – you are just damned!


Matt’s doing grand for his age

63 on Saturday.

Good on you, me old mucker.


Does that explain why Kathy is such a xxxx?

She “quite fancies” some of the old folks’ trips out.

57 going on 82?


An acre in a box

That sounds like a lovely way to do some ‘community planting’.

Although, I am amazed they’ve managed to even find a wee strip of land to plant on. Between Council rules and reticent landowners, I’d have thought they’d have to do another round of guerrilla gardening to get anything down.


“at least we got a working Horrobin with no criminal record, so far”

You can always depend on Brian to find the positive side of anything (albeit sarcastically!).

And David should have given him something to think about. Chris is certainly no Jude!


Is anyone good at breakfast small talk?

Well, I know some folks are just bursting with happiness and energy first thing, but it’d hardly be easy for Chris to chat away at breakfast when (a) it is Brian and Jennifer he’s got to chat to, who are (b) fairly unhappy that he’s married their daughter and (c) they are blatantly snobs about his family.


Party!

Are you also getting the impression that this party is going to be quite a traditional English farce?

Alice is excited. Jennifer’s hoping it’ll go away. Susan is beside herself with glee. And Brian reckons that the more people invited, the more the ‘Horrobin quarter” will be “diluted”.

That’s got to spell trouble.


Yes Kenton – you are just damned!

If he does something, he’s shouted at. If he doesn’t, he’s shouted at.

But it’s hard to feel sorry for Kenton when he’s created at least half of this mess with Kathy

“I don’t even care”

I couldn’t have said it better myself
