The Ambridge cricket team: the winning or the taking part
Down at Third Man
The cricket season is in opening weeks (in Ambridge obviously, not elsewhere)and training sessions for the perpetually hopeless Ambridge team have not started well. Considering that the captain is Sergeant Knacker Burns perhaps this is not surprising. Tracy Horrobin feels that too many of the team are past it, unfit or not bothered and the team needs to have a desire to win instilled in it. She is taking over coaching sessions forthwith. Will there still be a team of any sort left?
The Bull is saved as a community pub!
The Bull is the only pub open in the UK currently (thankfully). However the BBC has reported that on Easter Monday the final victory to keep The Bull as a community pub was achieved.
The new Bull sign was unveiled in the presence of Lynda Snell whose ReBulls were part of the campaign.
The misjudged B @ Ambridge has passed into history
Thanks to all those who supported the campaign. Let’s hope for a great future for The Bull after lockdown.
In the meantime the Ambridge Socialist will be raising a glass tonight to the pub and the campaign
Rob Titchener voted the biggest Ambridge baddie of all time
In an Ambridge Socialist poll well over half of respondents voted that Rob Titchener is the biggest Ambridge baddie of all time. Simon Pemberton was second with around a third of the votes Titchener got
Below is a list the Ambridge Socialist identified (with help from readers) of the biggest baddies in Ambridge over the years. We didn’t cover what might be called (more or less) loveable rogues such as Nelson Gabriel or Brian Aldridge. Nor have we looked at those who might not be ‘bad’ as such but are extremely annoying or obnoxious (Peggy Woolley got one vote). We may look at both in the future.
Philip Moss– the current contender. Gangmaster
Rob Titchener– gaslighted & raped Helen Archer. She was found not guilty of wounding him
Matt Crawford-fraudster. Alleged to be currently in Costa Rica
Cameron Fraser– attempted to rape Shula Archer amongst other things
Simon Pemberton– assaulted both Shula Archer & Debbie Aldridge
Clive Horrobin– violent criminal, believed to be currently in jail
Ambridge Socialist Editor Keith Flett said, it’s difficult to get away from the fact that Rob Titchener was a deeply unpleasant individual. It’s worth reflecting that he paid no legal price for his activities and that there are numbers of men out there today carrying on in much the same way that he did.
