The Super Dairy lives!
[Jennifer] “The dairy plans have got the go-ahead … it is such a relief”
Well, only for some.
Though especially for Jennifer, I suppose. She might get Brian to talk to about something else.
Bit surprising that the Super Dairy getting the planning permission wasn’t the hot topic of Ambridge today.
But those residents will make their own mind up about what to talk about near those secret microphones.
Chris van gets burgled
Poor Chris.
Scrimps and saves to buy his own business, and only moments into it, someone robs him.
He’d left tools in the van overnight. Which he has to do as he has so many of them. And it doesn’t help that the van has to be parked away from the house as there’s no room to park it out front.
AND no-one had thought to tell Chris and Alice about the suspicious car seen on Home Farm land.
Jennifer did seem that sympathetic when Alice told her. I think she was slightly put out that Alice’s news had overshadowed Brian’s about the Super Dairy.
[Jennifer] “Well at least they didn’t take the van itself … they can buy more tools, surely.”
True. And the insurance will cover it.
But it means the van will be out of action for at least a few days (while the lock is getting fixed). And, it’s not just about ‘stuff’.
[Alice] “The van was practically new. It was his pride and joy,. We went through a lot to get it”
Alice passed her exams
Not that she’s pleased about it (because of Chris’ tolls getting stolen), nor that Jennifer thought to ask (too preoccupied by Brian possibly now not being preoccupied).
But they all later come to and start to celebrate.
[Jennifer] “My daughter … the Engineer”
[Chris] “My wife, the engineer”
And though Jennifer wanted them both to come out on a celebratory dinner, Chris pretended that he’d already booked a table.
[Chris] “I wasn’t going to have your mum steal a march on me!”
Jennifer will stop Chris and Alice having kids
If she keeps walking in on them getting *ahem* close.
Jennifer walked in as Alice was just about to console Chris about his tools.
But Alice is also getting just as good at being unsubtle:
[Alice] “Oh no don’t do that. Mum’s just going”
[Jennifer] “Am I?”
Is Carl married?
Usha bumps into Annabelle at a Chamber do (the one Alan couldn’t go to because he’s on retreat). They pal up.
While Annabelle has to do her BL duty and talk momentarily to other BL directors, Usha spots Amy’s Carl. He seems surprised.
[Carl] “I just didn’t realise there would be lawyers here”
[Usha] “Well it is the Chamber of Commerce. Where there’s money you usually find lawyers, I’m afraid”
Then things got very odd.
Carl seemed to be at first particularly glad that Alan wasn’t there.
[Carl] “Oh, safely out of the way then”
But then Carl seemed to make a quick escape from Usha. While she sounded quite keen to spent time with him.
I didn’t really understand what was happening. Did Carl have a fancy for Usha? Or she him?
Then Annabelle started talking about a lady called Rochelle also at the do.
A talented lawyer. Beautiful, brainy.
And, she has a rather handsome husband. Who is standing right next to her …
… anyone didn’t (by that point) guess that it was Carl?
[Annabelle] “Talk about having it all. Doesn’t it make you sick?”
[Usha] “Yes. Yes it does”
Right, well that would explain the more wonderful than wonderful Carl.
Or does it?
