The lady didn’t love milk tray …
… she loved milk tray.
Didn’t matter to Harry, though. He still did a James Bond trying to get Zofia some apples. But, he came a cropper when he fell out of the tree.
Scrumping, that’s what we used to call it.
Jazzer doesn’t want to cook
Jazzer calls Harry:
[Jazzer] “Whit time will you be hame? … half an hour? … I’m starving!”
But, Jazzer is right enough this time. The deal was that he’d buy the food (which he has done), and Harry would cook it.
Zofia better watch out. No woman can get in the way of Jazzer’s stomach and get away with it.
Jazzer dies crack on with the cooking (I imagine that was the only way he was going to get to eat), but strikes gold when he calls Alice to ask how to make onion gravy, and gets Jennifer.
Learn from the best, my friend.
An anchovy, is an anchovy, is an anchovy
[Jennifer] “Economising is one thing, Alice, but you shouldn’t compromise where food is concerned … you really ought to stick with the quality brand names”
[Alice] “It’s the same food, in a different tin under a different name”
[Jennifer] “Well, how can you possibly tell? I can’t even pronounce what it says on this tin, let alone understand what’s inside?”
[Alice] “I think the picture is a bit of a giveaway … If it looks like an anchovy, and quacks like an anchovy, then it is an anchovy”
Jennifer has spotted ‘value brand’ products in Alice’s, as she’s helping to cook for a celebratory lunch 9wuth the Carters – after Chris got his business loan approved).
Jennifer is, as per, being a snob – but Susan mistakes her rant as Jennifer agreeing that buying value products, and shopping at much-cheapness shops is a good idea.
[Susan] “And your mum's isn’t the only 4x4 in the car park, either”
Poor Jennifer couldn’t get a word in to reassert her need for high value brands only …
She’s only later able to say to Brian:
[Jennifer] “Personally, I’d rather stick to Underwoods food hall”
Harry’s standards are slipping
He hasn’t lived up to his agreement with Jazzer about the cooking.
He eats his dinner, at the table, in his dressing gown.
And he tells Jazzer to leave the dishes until he gets back from a night out. Before, he would have insisted they were done there and then.
Changed man, is our Harry.
New excuses for why Alice shouldn’t have married Chris
Jennifer is now worried that Alice will lose her house if Chris’ business goes wrong. And, that would mean strangers could end up buying it, and living on Home Farm.
Imagine!
Brian reckons all will be well, and that he’ll step in to buy the house if need be.
But, Jennifer still wishes Alice has married someone else. Of better standing. Class, And bank account. Brian doesn’t agree – where Jennifer sees poverty, he sees drive, initiative and the sense 9of Chris) to not try and go cap in hand to him.
I’m with Brian.
Chris is a good ‘un.
