Lonely cow says goodbye
[Tony] “There you go girl., You have one last look around … Poor old lonely cow.”
[Tom] “At least she’s only going to market.”
True.
And at least she’ll now have company.
When Brian spots Tony at the market:
[Brian] “Is he buying a house cow? Can’t bear to be without one.”
(very droll!)
Lonely cow sold for a whopping £1,450. And even though Tony was the one with cash in his pocket, it was Eddie who bought Tony a drink at market.
He (and the rest of the Grundys) know what it’s like to no longer have cows to wake up to.
And that’s that.
The last, final cow leaves Bridge Farm.
Lilian and Brenda have a proper spat!
Lilian staggers downstairs to work.
[Lilian] “What are you gawping at!?!”
Not a very good start to another working day with Brenda …
When Brenda tries to talk to Lilian about work, and ask if she knows when Matt will be back, Lilian simply leaves again.
When Brenda later talks to Brian, he reckons Lilian is hungover, amongst other things:
[Brian] “She put away an entire bottle of wine by herself before dinner … she’s not right, is she?”
(well, it was Lilian’s birthday. And since when has Lilian’s capacity for booze been seen as an indication of anything being wrong?)
[Brenda] “I don’t want to sound harsh, but Lilian in this state is not what I need.”
Brenda wonders out loud how much more she can take …
When Lilian finally returns to work, she won’t listen to Brenda’s pleas for her to sign cheques to pay their suppliers (who have now been waiting a long time for their money). Brenda reckons this is more than her job’s worth:
[Brenda] “All when it’s well above the pittance you pay me.”
[Lilian] “How dare you talk to me like that … we’ve taught you everything you know, with interesting work, with plenty of responsibility, And on your doorstep … you don’t know how lucky you are … Matt and I have made you, without Amside, you’d be nothing. Just another village kid with horizon that don’t stretch beyond the Borchester bypass. Maybe, Brenda, you should just accept your limitations and be grateful for what you’ve got!”
(blimey! Lilian really let rip there)
[Brenda] “You! You’ve never forgiven me from stealing Scott from you all those years ago, and you have the presumption to go out with your precious James … you know what Lilian, you’re a snob with nothing to be a snob about. You ought to remember where you came from sometimes … you are spoilt, demanding, moody, unpredictable, and your relationship with Matt … I don’t know why it’s taken me so long, but I’ve had it up to here. You can stuff your job!”
And with that, Brenda departs.
Phew!
I don’t think there’s much going back after what those ladies have said.
Kenton insists Jolene keeps his favourite clothes
(of hers!)
Jolene’s trying to sort out the clothes she’ll take to the swishing.
Kenton’s getting in the way.
He reckons he remembers every item she wore on every date they had.
Though he does generally misremember …
Never mind.
[Kenton] “Why don’t I help you try some more of these topes on. Or, help you take them off …”
(ugh! Did we need to hear that bit?)

Ambridge’s growing obsession with spurtles
[Jolene] “Jazzer reckons they’re the only thing to keep the lumps out of your porridge.”
What would Jazzer know …
No malt at a Highland Games?
Jolene was wondering if she should get malt whisky for the beer tent at the Highland Games/Fete.
Kenton reckons not.
[Kenton] “We don’t want the Scottish dancers making a fatal mistake in their sword dance!”
Tony reckons safety in numbers
So he asks Tom to supper on Thursday, when Helen has invited Rob round.
[Tony] “Your mother wants more people round the table.”
But Tom can’t oblige. He has paperwork to do.
(probably more preferable to watching Tony and Pat tears strips out of Rob, while Helen simpers in the corner)
