The Ambridge Socialist
Reporting on the class struggle in Borsetshire
29th September
October 1st is the start of the Peasant Shooting Season: Justin & Vince practice
October 1st is the start of the pheasant shooting season but the ruling class of Borsetshire are not great with their ‘h’s’. Justin and Vince have had some pre-season shooting practice. Vince is spot on while Justin is useless. The class struggle by other means.
The Ambridge Socialist poll:
Lexi gives birth: It’s an Archer!!
The occasional incomer to Ambridge can sometimes be heard muttering that everyone seems to be an Archer or related to one in the village. That is of course correct. There is a Dynasty at work which can be married into but only at the price of signing over body and soul to the Dynasty.
So Lexi has given birth to Adam and Ian’s son. Adam is the son of Jennifer Aldridge and Paddy Redmond (who was definitely not an Archer). Jennifer however is the daughter of Peggy Woolley, the Godmother of Ambridge who was married to Jack Archer who ran The Bull. Hence the new baby is an Archer. How he will fit into the Ambridge Archers Squirearchy in years to come remains to be seen of course.
Abattoir crisis in Ambridge continues
The abattoir crisis continues. Justin doesn’t feel minded to tell David that his interest in the bankrupt abattoir Crowthers is so that it can be turned into offices. Lilian has had a liquid lunch with Regional animal despatcher Vince Casey at The Bull but apparently declined to reveal Justin’s plans. So far anyway
Will gives up the guns
Will has decided, prudently probably, to resign as a gamekeeper and in doing so to remove himself from guns and possible harm to himself and others. What will he do now, however?
