While I’m still not sure if Harry Mason is a force for good or evil, he’s single-handedly started a worldwide campaign to show Jolene how much The Bull means to everyone.
We Love The Bull was the URL of the website Harry was showing Nic how to create the other day (click this link for my blog on that episode)
And #welovethebull is now being used by Twitterers to join together to show their support – headed up by @welovethebull
Talk of t-shirts ahoy, and I can imagine flash mobs, sit ins, YouTube videos, facebook pages etc etc are to follow soon.
Watch this space!
(and apologies for the interruption to normal service. I might get round to making a proper ‘news’ page one of these days).

The Village Shop is getting to Susan … Caroline makes very good out of Camp Grundy … Farewell to Sid, Ambridge style
Jim is supposed to be Jill
Susan’s going to have an apoplexy soon.
Jim’s on a shift when Jill should be there – and what about those out-of-date fruit buns!
Eeek. It’s enough to make a woman like Susan really lose the plot.
But, methinks Susan forgets that:
Is a load of rubbish.
Wasn’t Susan running the shop at a loss?!?
Still, I liked Jim’s retort:
Though he then let himself down with:
Well beneath you, Mr Lloyd.
Lured them away from the field like a pied piper
Clarrie’s only response to Caroline’s usurpation of Eddie’s customers was that it served him, and Joe, right.
Seemingly Marcus Froggert (and chums) are having a grand old time at Grey Gables.
And Marcus once tried to woo Caroline by taking her on a date to an antiques fair.
Saucy!
The Bull in its place
It’s very easy to forget how central any pub is to a village – it’s less about drinking, more about people.
Tonight felt like it was more about The Bull than it was Sid.
Lilian’s ‘rosy glow’, all those who have part owned or worked there.
Which raises the question, just who might be Lording over The Bull next?
Eddie - You’re lucky Clarrie wasn’t in earshot
“We were all jealous – held a torch for Jolene for years. A man can dream …”
You’d have been right back into the bad books, wonderful speech or not!
And you may also have competition if you’re thinking of trying for Jolene now that Sid’s out of the way.
Wasn’t that Wayne spotted in the bar?
Last words for Sid:
Um. That’s not the way I’ll remember the randy wee bigoted tyrant, but I’ll be charitable and leave it to Eddie to have the final say:
- Jim is supposed to be Jill
- Lured them away from the field like a pied piper
- The Bull in its place
- Eddie - You’re lucky Clarrie wasn’t in earshot
- Last words for Sid

“All those years of hard work, ruined by amateurs”
Is a load of rubbish.

Still, I liked Jim’s retort:
“It’s the hollow reed that doesn’t snap”
Though he then let himself down with:
“oh whatever, as Dan would say”
Well beneath you, Mr Lloyd.

“Sid was a popular man”
“Genial, courteous, congenial – diplomatic – Sid was all … and more”
“Great team manager
“Wonderful friend”
“Generous employer”
“Excellent host”
“Gentleman and friend”

- A month in New Zealand with a hormonal Lucy
- The Simon Cowell of Ambridge
- What can the matter be?
- What do they mean when they say that Emerald O'Hanrahan is ‘taking the part’?
A month in New Zealand with a hormonal Lucy
That actually sounds quite fun!
So what do we think – will Fallon cope with running The Bull?
Will she find herself in bother, opening up a new opportunity for the (ever so currently quiet) Jazzer? Or will she have to turn to Lilian, though Jolene wouldn’t be too chuffed with that …
The Simon Cowell of Ambridge
I reckon Adam could find a new career as the Ambridge equivalent of Simon Cowell.
He’s certainly opinionated and grumpy enough.
What can the matter be?
Even more evidence to suggest that Kate might be making a return to Ambridge.
Is Brian right about trouble at home with Lucas?
What do they mean when they say that Emerald O'Hanrahan is ‘taking the part’?
@ArchersAddicts: News just breaking, Felicity Jones (Emma Grundy) is leaving. Emerald O'Hanrahan is taking the part. Read all about it in the Ambridge Voice.
Excuse me? What does all that mean?
Just how long has this ‘Felicity Jones’ been impostering Emma for?
And how will this new imposter manage to take her place without everyone noticing? How will she know about the whole Ed/Will triangle shenanigans!?!
We should be told …
