Tim Oatey arrested
Thug and general lowlife Tim Oatey has been arrested. Needless to say this was not at the instigation of Sgt Harrison ‘Knacker’ Burns. The best he managed was to summon up a patrol car so someone else could do the job.
Rather it was Joy Horville who recognising Oatey as the man who had previously fly-tipped rubbish she he had paid him to legally dispose of, kept him waiting when he called again, until the police arrived.
Of course given a wider outbreak of fly tipping in the area one might think Knacker Burns would be investigating what was behind it. While the rubbish issue is a matter for the Council and Environmental Health, general criminal activity is a police matter…
Tony finds his model railway set
Assuming that they haven’t cleared off on holiday the rest of this week’s Archers will surely engage those media commentators who think that the current lockdown Archers really isn’t working. The above fly-tipping incident was a bit of the Thursday episode. Much of the rest of the week consisted of Tony agonising over whether he should donate a model train set which John used to like to Johnny (who didn’t want it). The alternative was Sgt Burns and Fallon looking after a small child for a few days.

The Ambridge Socialist poll
Dialogue is set to return to the Archers in September. The Archers Monologues, a feature since late May have had a mixed reception. The Murdoch Times has suggested that listening to Times Radio is better than listening to the Archers. Do you agree?
Stalker Burns did little if any childcare. He neglected the fact that it was HIS relation, and hightailed it to ’emergency’ work, leaving Poor Fallon to childmind, and have Daisy cared for by Lovely Joy. He really is appalling.
