What’s cheaper: village shop or supermarket?
One could be forgiven for thinking supermarkets are always cheaper, but there’s the petrol to consider.
It’s a conundrum Emma has to ponder.
As she does, while buying nappies, Neil comes in to pay her way.
Which she didn’t ask for, didn’t immediately accept and was grateful for.
Later on, while at Neil and Susan’s, Emma asks if she can take a slice of pie back for Ed (poor chap always loses out to the kids), and Neil gives her some sausages. Sausages are, after all, aplenty at Neil and Susan’s.
Again, Emma was very grateful.
Will this humbling experience actually make Emma a better person?
Joe’s second best teeth
After losing his best pair in the apple scratter, Joe has to resort to his second best pair.
[Joe] “Not very comfy, but beggars can’t be choosers.”
Trouble is, Joe’s second best pair shock (yes, shock!) people.
Seems they’re very white indeed. To the extent that Ruth even calls them American.
[David] “When he grinned at me, I didn’t know whether to smile back or run for the hills … talk about the big bad wolf … and the colour, good grief!”
[Neil] “They’re florescent.”
As you may remember from Apple Day, neither Joe nor Eddie told anyone that Joe’s other pair of teeth was smashed into the cider.
Though Joe’s not very good at keeping secrets:
[Joe] “You might say it was the apples getting their own back.”
Joe does realise he’s saying too much, so slopes off before everyone twigs. Which, of course, they have:
[David] “Ah, probably best not to think about it.”
Freddie’s getting a maths tutor
Poor Freddie.
But it’ll be Ifty.
That’ll soften the blow, surely?
A nice chap who likes cricket. What more could Freddie want?
Not having to do extra maths, maybe … ?
Adam’s enthusiastic
Which David’s glad to see, even though he thinks it’s because Adam is getting excited about the Super Dairy.
I suspect it might have more to do with Adam realising he’s never had it so good with Ian … post Pavel.
