The Phil/Jill Archer Clan are very smug – Wed 03.07.13 #thearchers

Pondering The Archers Wednesday 3rd July 2013
  • Pip’s off to Churcham, David and Ruth on holiday
  • Pip wonders where Champagne comes from
  • Josh says sorry
  • Freddie walks his heifer all the time
  • Why do Gloucesters have white stripes down their backs
  • Freddie sounds old
  • Self-congratulating Archers


Pip’s off to Churcham, David and Ruth on holiday


For 2 weeks, as a relief milker, through an agency.

Seems they can get her more work if she wants it, right through the Summer.


[Pip] “It means I won’t have a lot of time to help out here though.”

(not that Pip has been much help of late …)

So, Pip reckons that David and Ruth should take some time off while she is still around.

Blimey.

What a transformation!

She’s back!!!


Pip wonders where Champagne comes from

Though she did at least have the sense to realise her stupidity herself …

She’s helping Ruth try to find a long weekend break.

They’re look at the Champagne region.

[Pip] “If he doesn’t go for this, I really will begin to start worrying about his priorities.”


Josh says sorry


Josh made a point of seeking out Hayley to apologise.

[Josh] “When you had to cancel those two markets, I wasn’t very nice about it.”

He also apologises for booking them in the first place, without even talking to Hayley and Neil.

[Josh] “Well, I’ve learned my lesson.”

[Hayley] “We really admire what you’re doing, and we want you to do well. You do know that.”


Freddie walks his heifer all the time

Josh is still helping Freddie to halter train one of his cows (and to train Freddie how to halter train). He reckons the heifer they’re using is lovely and tame.

[Freddie] “It’s because we take her for walks!”

Seems the heifer is called Sorrell.

When Freddie goes to put the halter on her, Jamie tells him to approach her on the left and talk quietly.

This will take some time …


Why do Gloucesters have white stripes down their backs?

(the same as rabbit’s white tails)

[David] “It’s like an alarm system.”

[Freddie] “They don’t really need it round here.”

[David] “Unless you have some lion’s on the estate!”


Freddie sounds old


All of a sudden.

(just an observation)


Self-congratulating Archers


So, Pip is getting experience at work.

She’s offered to help Ruth and David get a break. Even though that means she won’t see any of the summer.

[Pip] “Who needs sunny beaches when you can have dairy parlours?”

Josh has also impressed by apologising to Hayley.

[Pip] “Josh, mature? This is my brother we’re talking about …”

[David] “I must say I felt very proud …  What did I do to deserve such a brilliant family?”

[Pip] “I have no idea. But somehow you managed to pull it off. Nice one, dad!”

Ugh.

How sickening …
