Debbie returns – yay!
I think Debbie got all of the nice genes Jennifer had left, before she went on to have Kate.
(or it’s just Brian’s involvement that explains the vileness that is Kate).
First thing we hear from Debbie is that she want to go and see Jack.
What a nice thoughtful lass she is.
Does Jennifer think everyone who shops in Lidl has rickets?
Alice and Chris are saving £1,000 a month
Blimey. What on earth was in their shopping basket before they were saving?
Brian and Debbie are impressed, but Jennifer isn’t having it.
[Jennifer] “Not if it means compromising their health”
[Debbie] “She seems a lot happier to me, Alice, certainly since she first got back from Southampton … the two of them working as a team, with a definite goal”
Poor Jack has lost his grip
Although Jack is now up and walking, he now can’t find himself as he hasn’t got the grip.
That might get better with time and therapy, but it’s distressing for both Jack and Peggy.
Peggy is still worried about whether the Laurels will take Jack back. Seems one of their Nursing Supervisors has to make an assessment of Jack.
Peggy has faith in Tom and Helen
Peggy reckons Tony is looking a bit peaky, which he isn’t offended about as he hasn’t been sleeping.
He’s also sounding none too positive about Bridge Farm.
[Peggy] “You’ve got one marvellous asset, you and Pat, those two youngsters of yours. I’ve got a lot of belief in those two. They’ve got their heads screwed on. They’ll find a way out of this, you’ll see”
Peggy forgets about church, shock!
Jennifer turns up to take Peggy to St Stephen’s, but Peggy has forgotten.
It is actually a shock.
Peggy really is most terribly worried about Jack.
Brian is something beginning with A
Brian reckons it is ‘Alpha’. A few of use might choose a completely different word …
[Brian, talking to Debbie about the Mart] “I wouldn’t say I was a particularly power hungry individual, well no more than the average alpha male … but there were times when this was going on when I would have cheerfully declared martial law”
[Debbie] “I’ve got to hand it to you, at an age when most men wouldn’t be thinking beyond the golf course …”
Super Dairy in Ambridge?
Maybe so, if Debbie gets her way.
She was harping onto Brian about something to do with “generic merit and meat blood lines”
Seems she’s thinking of a large scale dairy enterprise – but not in Hungry, “closer to home”.
Seems she reckons she can solve Brian’s weakness, or his:
[Brian] “exposure to volatile commodity”
(hmmm … is that what he calls it these days?)
Debbie’s great plan is:
[Debbie] “Dairy farming, but not the way David and Ruth do it, I’m talking big scale 2 1st century fairy where you control your costs and maximise your output”
[Brian] “A super diary?”
[Debbie] “If that’s you want to call it that …”
Seems a super dairy is a way of not having to rely on world prices.
You get 1,000 cows in a “light and airy shed”. On sand. With vets and experts on to look after them 24/7.
Their slurry goes to an AD unit which sells to the grid. The Digestate goes back to the land, to grown more stuff. It’s sustainable. The cows are feed entirely from everything grown on their own land.
Or the alternative for Brian?
[Debbie] “Maybe you like marketing your crops like betting in a roulette wheel?”
Well, if Debbie puts it that way – stand back for the Super Diary Vs Lynda bun fight.
Or, will Debbie and Brian listen to Tony?
[Tony] “Our whole dairy business has gone belly up …
“The power of all this, it’s frightening, go on the internet and their pages upon of pages about out poisonous products …
“ … what I wouldn’t give in your position Brian, put it all to arable, we could have the whole lot done by contractor s and Pat and I could get our lives back again
“ … why anyone in their right mind would want to get into dairy farming is beyond me”
Will they listen?
Heck no!
Peggy isn’t hearing Tony
Tony starts to tell Peggy about his and Pat’s cashflow problem, but she can only think of Jack.
Looks like the bank of Peggy isn’t necessarily closed. It’s just popped out for a bit to something more important.
