Telegraph claims hipsters have taken over Ambridge, riots threatened
The Daily Telegraph’s radio correspondent Charlotte Runcie is not happy about events in Ambridge. Comments underneath her own most recent comment reveal that Telegraph readers are angry, about the Archers and everything else.
Runcie begins her most recent piece in the Telegraph thus:
What fresh hell is this? Hipsters have taken over Ambridge and set their sights on The Bull. In The Archers (Radio 4, Sunday to Friday), Angus the hipster consultant has advised the keen-to-be-hip publican Lilian Bellamy (and slightly less enthusiastic co-owners Kenton and Jolene Archer) that a name change is the way to go to make The Bull appeal to a new demographic of trendy foodies and beer enthusiasts.
Runcie goes on to argue that the proposed change of name for the Bull will lead to rioting in the streets ‘not just of Ambridge, but Felpersham and Penny Hassett too’. We look forward to it although we’re not sure it will be led by Telegraph readers.
The Ambridge Socialist poll
Is there too much negativity in Ambridge?
The employees of Grey Gables have been on a team building day at Spiritual Home. Apparently the hot lentil bake for lunch not did go down well. Kate focused on driving out negativity, but if the negation is negated in Ambridge, what might the synthesis be?
Alistair discovered naked
Due to the never ending building work at the Professors, Alistair has been at Kirsty’s for a bath. Here he was discovered by the ever negative Gavin who for unknown reasons was also lurking in the house, wearing at best a towel. We want an Alistair and Gavin shower scene.
Sit in to Defend *The Bull*
In an unprecedented united initiative with the Archers Anarchists, the Ambridge Socialist is backing a sit-in at The Bull to defend both the pub and its traditional name. We think that the change to the B at Ambridge is just a temporary phase before it becomes Brewdog Ambridge.
We are regular users of The Bull. While we don’t think the beer is up to much and the landlord is useless it is still Ambridge’s local. We don’t support petty bourgeois campaigns such as Lynda Snell’s petition signed mainly by people who are too snooty to ever set foot in the pub.
Details of the sit in will be sent to supporters
