The Ambridge Socialist
9th August
The class struggle in Ambridge. Which side are you on? Emma or Alice
Alice, part of the ruling Archer Dynasty in Ambridge is struggling with her employment position. She was sacked from her previous job and there seems little doubt that drinking is an issue. Even her partner Chris has now criticised her leading to Alice first moving her bottle stash to the garden shed and now the farm office at Home Farm where she is standing in for Adam.
While we can sympathise with the alcohol issue for which Alice needs to get professional help, we have less concern for the Archer Dynasty.
Meanwhile Emma Grundy also looks likely to lose her job at the tea rooms after persistent interventions by leading Ambridge neo-liberal Natasha Archer. Natasha is unconcerned about people losing their jobs, though she is probably sympathetic about Alice.
The Ambridge Socialist knows which side we are on.
The Joe Grundy Flower and Produce Show
Emma has been promoting the idea of a virtual flower and produce show via series of Zoom meetings. Fallon has an alternative plan and opinion is apparently split. The Ambridge Socialist believes that the only way forward is to rename the event in honour of Joe Grundy which should promote a united response, except from Bert Fry obviously.
Thumbs Up for the Archers Monologues
The Ambridge Socialist poll last week saw 56% say they preferred to listening to the Archers monologues and 0% to whatever may be on Times Radio at 19.02 hours on Monday-Thursday evenings. 44% preferred neither but it is August and they were probably in The Bull
I cannot believe that anyone wants to hear those awful monologues. Say it isn’t so! (Archers listener of 40 years)
