Alice needs to join a trade union
Alice has walked out of her job with Pryce Baumann this week although it sounded very much like this was to pre-empt a sacking due to alleged poor performance. Alice reported she had been passed over for a promotion and it appears she may have been a victim of bullying. At the same time there also seem to be potential alcohol issues. Refreshingly frequent stereotypes have been avoided and Alice has not been sinking 10 pints of Shires a day but wine. Possibly there is a health issue that needs addressing. Whatever the issue is, and perhaps a combination, Alice needs to join a trade union and start getting help.
Cherry Picking crisis: Grundys to the rescue
With a lack of Eastern European pickers this year Adam has faced a cherry picking crisis. Brian vaguely recalling now that he is semi-retired, that he can be a patrician, successfully invited the Grundy family to help out. Adam was forced to shake hands (one hopes virtually) with Ed while still grumbling that he previously had had no choice but to sack him.
Rogers Travers Macy returns (silently).
Roger Travers Macy probably last appeared in Ambridge in 1991 and the actor that played him originally sadly died in 1989. A new actor appeared in 1991. His return at the moment is therefore in the third person only.
