Susan’s not amused at Brian
[Susan] “He could have out his money where his mouth is … him and Alice are far too proud … you’d have thought Brian would have offered … people with money always … always, maybe, forget what a struggle it is …”
Susan was saying all of this to Pat, so had to try and backtrack towards the end as she realised that she was being slightly negative about folks with money …i.e. lots of the Archer clan … and possibly also because Pat is married to Tony, who is brother to Jennifer, who is married to Brian …
Whoops.
I reckon Susan should shush. She should be proud that Chris and Alice are managing this on their tod.
Still nothing happening at the Mart site
Brian is not best pleased.
Brenda is back
She hasn’t really been anywhere – just away from the hidden microphones – but she is already talking nonsense.
She’s annoyed that she spends time at work: “dealing with time wasters” who just want a nosy at Amside’s properties rather than to buy them.
She’s annoyed that Pip “bombarded” Helen with ideas for the Bridge Farm website. Even though the website does now look better.
Her pride is ever so slightly damaged. A job not related to her degree, and now a farm lass talking her language.
[Brenda] “But really, I’m the one with the marketing degree!”
And with perfect timing – Pip calls round to Tom and Brenda’s to talk more marketing.
Perfect (comedy value).
Why Pip’s ideas are flawed
She wants Bridge Farm to use Twitter to create a ‘club’.
But, as Tom pointed out, they don’t have the capacity to manage a full-on Twitter account.
And Pip is simply oblivious.
To Brenda’s:
[Brenda] “I don’t want to take up more of your time … I do know most of this stuff”
Pip didn’t twig that Brenda wanted her to F off.
Client relations – that’s half the battle if you want to get them to take your ideas seriously, Pip.
Alice is also at it
She’s also trying to maximise sales.
She wants to also sell scones, and chocolate dipped strawberries.
Well, at least it’s a real idea/product – unlike Pip’s idea of making the E. coli negativity go away just by using Twitter …
Environmental Health keep visiting
Which is really annoying Pat.
They turn up at least once a week, whenever they want to, without warning.
So, when Susan drops some yoghurt just as they are visiting, Pat is not as rational as one would normally expect of her.
So what’s Brenda’s fantastic new idea?
After all the fuss about Pip stepping into her area of expertise, Brenda sucks it up and reveals her wonderful idea to help solve Bridge Farm’s problems.
Customer testimonials.
On their website.
Which, Brenda acknowledges, was actually Pip’s idea …
Pat is not amused, infact …
… Pat is livid!
[Pat] “Oh for goodness sake Brenda! Wake up .. .what’s the point! This business is losing money hand over fist and all you and Tom can do is mess about on the website. All you’re doing is just tinkering on the edges, a complete waste of time”So Brenda has a weep – Tom comforts her – and blames Pat’s outburst as Pat being on a knife edge, possibly prosecuted, might not be able to pay the mortgage, being stressed and so on.
All of which is true.
But could it just be that Brenda really should just stick to making flyers?
