14 years at Grey Gables
It’s Roy’s last day at Grey Gables, and his colleagues send him off in style.
He has a leaving do meal at Grey Gables, and is gifted a home cinema system.
So - off to work for Elizabeth Pargetter.
Rather Roy than me ...
Lilian is most definitely not amused
Lynda and Jill were elected to the Parish Council.
But Lilian lost by a mere 6 votes. To Richard Thwaite.
[Lynda] “Quite a humiliation for her”
Oh dear.
[Lilian] “I suppose the votes only get the council they deserve, and that doesn’t include me anymore … I lost my seat darlings”
Despite calling Ed and Emma ‘darlings’ (I suppose that is just a reflex of Lilian’s), she then berates them for not voting. Though they weren’t sure they’d have voted for her anyway (Lilian did later apologise).
Lilian is a bit OTT with her reaction. And seems to think that “dirty tricks” were involved.
[Lilian] “So you've stopped by to gloat, have you?”
[Lynda] “Me? Gloat? Good heavens no. I just stopped by to say how sorry I am.”
[Lilian] “Well I can do without sympathy, darling”
Lynda tries to explain that she would have preferred Lilian to Richard Thwaite, but Lillian’s not hearing it. She accuses Lynda of rubbishing her verge idea (which is all part of the game, I reckon), and that she stole Lillian’s broadband idea (but for it was hardly original fodder rural politicians).
Lilian then vows that she and Matt will still have a say in the local community. Rather ominously so.
Maybe it’s something to do with the fact that the only other person to not get elected was Hilary Noakes
[Ed] “Ambridge’s most hated woman”
Now that’s not suitable company for our Lilian!
George is stopping out again
And Ed isn’t happy about it, as he’s at Will’s again.
[Emma] “It is a big help. It means less work for me.”
(oh aye – it’s all about what’s best for Emma!)
[Ed] “Emma. You just don’t get it do you. Will’s not doing this to help you out, to make your life easy, he’s got a real agenda here … he knows your busy with Keira and he’s just trying to take advantage”
Ed says he’s upset because George’s place is at home with him and Emma, and his baby sister. But he must be thinking that Will is trying to make moves to have George permanently.
It’s certainly what I think Will is up to.
Roy underestimates Kate
You’d have thought Roy would know Kate by now.
But no.
Hayley’s worried that Phoebe is still obsessed about South Africa.
[Hayley] “It’s always like, when I go back … when, not if”
[Roy] “She had a holiday of a lifetime; she’s bound to be excited still … I wouldn’t worry too much. She just needs to get it out of her system. She’ll soon come back down to earth again. You’ll see.”
Come on Roy! Not if Kate’s been whispering outlandish promises to Phoebe again. Which she has. Which you’ll only probably find out about when they’re heading to the airport.
Ambridge on AV
[Lynda] “I suppose our little contest was rather trivial by comparison”
Goodness me no! Far, far more riveting.
