The Ambridge Socialist
27th June
Ruling class tensions rise as Aldridge praised as ‘ruthless’
Its been a week for ACAS in Ambridge but some conciliations work better than others. Brian has reviewed his decision to give Adam the boot as farm manager. After all, who else is available, even if Adam is useless. Adam is determined to move on but agrees to stay until the end of the harvest. He is clearly pondering his own bid for the Borchester Land contract and sounds out Justin on this. Justin rightly warns Adam that Brian is ruthless and will find a way to crush any commercial opponent. Perhaps Adam should try a partnership with Eddie Grundy?
Grundy Limos
Eddie Grundy has determined to keep the veteran but expensive to run limo he has done up. In order to pay for it he is running a sort of taxi service. Clarrie has provided him with a cap and gloves from Joe so he looks the part. In order to avoid issues there is no charge for taxi rides but contributions to the Grundy Hardship Fund are always welcome.
This has provoked angst with Rex who runs a genuine taxi service and has found Eddie siphoning off his regular customers. In this case the conciliator was the unlikely figure of Lynda Snell who brokered a sort of Bridlington Agreement between Rex and Eddie. Eddie will continue with the Limo but will leave Rex’s regulars alone. Possibly.
Neil and Shula..
Affairs are in the news and another of the Great Bores of Ambridge Alistair has popped up to suggest that his ex-wife Shula is having an affair with veteran pig man Neil Carter. The Ambridge Socialist believes its entirely a matter for them.
