Susan has had an empathy-otomy
Many, many years ago …
Susan’s complaining to Neil that all Clarrie can talk about is that everyone at the Fete knew about the Bridge Farm E. coli outbreak.
Wonder what she thought Clarrie would be talking about?
Susan is also complaining about having to deal with everyone at the Fete talking about the E. coli outbreak.
[Susan] “I had to field some pretty pointed questions from Vicky Tucker yesterday”
And, Susan is complaining that she’s back at work – so surely everyone is going to guess that Clarrie is the E. coli culprit, as she isn’t back at work.
But there’s more …
… Susan then started talking about it is all Clarrie’s fault … but Neil isn’t having that.
[Neil] “She didn’t mean to do it, did she? … It’s easy to be wise after the event … Clarrie’s going to need her friends”
You hear that Susan? Be a friend.
Clarrie has to go a whole 48 hours clear
Clarrie has to go to environmental health with samples
[Clarrie] “I got to keep on doing it til I’m clear”
Seems she won’t be free until she’s free of E. coli. Two clear tests in 48 hours.
Insult to injury (but quite necessary, I suppose).
Will Clarrie get fired?
[Clarrie] “I don’t reckon she’ll ask me back”
Eddie is horrified – saying that they’d have to write to her first.
But Clarrie reckons that probably in the post.
Just how will the Grundys cope if there’s only one way coming in?
Could Joe get a job as a lollipop man?
I reckon it all depends on whether Pat calms down enough. Clarrie has been working at Bridge Farm for 16 years.
But then again, if profits dwindle due to a lack of sales, how long could Bridge Farm keep Clarrie on for anyway?
Clarrie has to shop in town
As she can’t cope to show her face in the village shop.
Though she still ended up bumping into Ivy Horrobin – who then told her that she’d seen Susan working in Ambridge Organics.
Wonder why Susan (her mate) never told Clarrie?
Goodness. This is awful.
Cows or pants?
Clarrie’s trying to work out where she could have picked up E. coli.
From a Grange farm cow?
[Eddie] “Clarrie, you don’t pick up E. coli from standing next to a cow”
Maybe Eddie’s work clothes?
I’d probably suspect his underwear. Especially as he just drops everything on the floor, and Clarrie has to then pick them up to be cleaned.
Pat’s not happy twiddling
Her thumbs.
They’re waiting for a company ready an available to steam clean the dairy.
Until then, they can make any more ice cream or yoghurt (and they’re out of strawberry already as it is).
Clarrie buys ice cream
But only the “cheap stuff” to keep Joe happy. He seemingly gets grumpy when there’s none in.
And how very ironic.
“Everyone’s going to think I’m some sort of mucky person”
Unfortunately, I don’t think you’re off the mark with that one, Clarrie.
All prunes and no apricots
Oh lordly. Susan has a whole new domain to whip into shape.
Ambridge Organics. She’s working there while the dairy is closed.
Susan isn’t impressed with the lack of customers (probably steady for the type of shop it is, but likely not as busy as a place where you can buy your newspaper and a marathon, like the village shop), and the lack of organisation.
[Susan] “We’ve got more prunes than you can shake a stick at, but no dried apricots”
Will, Ed, Emma standing together … smiling!
Vicky has taken the picture she took yesterday to Neil.
[Eddie] “I can’t remember the last time I saw Will and Ed in a photograph together … and smiling”
Susan’s also amazed to see Will and Emma standing together. Very much a “one for the album” moment.
I’m still disappointed that everyone lived happily ever after – troll-gate failed to deliver.
Like Eddie – I thought it’d be tears or a punch up.
Ach well.
Maybe next year.
