David isn’t amused
Seems Ruth couldn’t go to the book club last night, but Usha phoned her first thing to tell her the news about Clive’s return.
David is aghast.
[David] “has the man has no shame?!?”
Later on, in The Bull, David is indignant of the chat about Clive.
After all, Clive has directly caused untold grief for his aunty, sister and mum.
[David] “It’s not the subject of title tattle. There are still too many victims in the village”
Neither is Mike
As Betty (his first wife) was held by Clive along with Debbie and co during the robbery. And she was stressed out for years after.
Nor is Rhys
Who has to be told the whole grotty tale of Clive from scratch.
That Clive used a shotgun.
That Susan went to prison for six months.
[Rhys] “she seems so respectable!”
[Bert] “But Clive coerced her and she weakened, they’re a very tribal family, the Horrobins”
That George had tipped the Police onto Clive.
[Rhys] “Good grief, we’ve gone from spaghetti westerns to the godfather”That Clive had attached Shula and Alistair’s horses.
That Clive had set fire to Christine and George’s house when Christine and Jill were in it.
[Rhys] “No! The nutter!”
Seems Rhys has a lot to learn about Ambridge.
Ploughing competition time again
After having come third in the overall competition last year – Bert’s determined to better this year. And part of that will be to make sure he doesn’t break down.
But.
[Bert] “Vernon Goddings just acquired an early 60s English Fordson Super”
[David] “Has he by jove!”
That doesn’t sound good for Bert. So one assumes that’s a darn good tractor Vernon Goddings has got?
I had to look them up.

Lines that came to Bert in the night
“His super major hits the ditch
“Vernon Goddings takes a skidding
“The judges think he’s on the drink
“And I ends up with the Beckwell cup”
[Bert] “It’s national poetry day, you know”
Actually, I didn’t.
So, nice to hear Bert’s contribution.
Mike takes the Michael out of Kenton
As does Rhys.
They both see him moving boxes of magazines out of Jolene – so jest him about him moving out already and what type of magazines they are …
So Kenton tells Rhys to “bike off”, though as Mike points out:
[Mike] “You can’t expect to live a private life in a public place, everyone’s going to know your business”
Kenton does admit he misses the gossip and space of Lower Loxley …especially as he had his own wing.
Tying to offload his 4x4 magazines (nothing untoward there then, just a bit nerdy) onto David and Ruth’s loft (to which they say no):
[Kenton] “I sense that she’s running out of patience, she keeps stubbing her toes on my many boxes of treasures”
[David] “Has she cottoned onto your cheesy feet yet, or hasn’t she past the romantic stage?”
Well, actually …
…. Kenton showers twice sometimes
Though he did bump into Fallon without a towel to cover his modesty.
She must be loving the new living arrangements (!).
Rhys for the Christmas Concert?
Seems Rhys has sung before, so once Lynda finds out, he’ll have no choice but to join.
I hope it goes well.
I’m going to miss the panto shenanigans.
Mike got the green job
It’s only a day or so a week – but Mike is chuffed he got the manager of the green burial site job.
Even though Jim will be his line manager.
And even though Clarrie had been going for it as well …
