The Ambridge Socialist
11th July
Scarecrows rule
There is progress in history and Lynda Snell’s long grip on the Ambridge fete committee has been weakened. Joy, who like Vince is now appearing as a more rounded character than might have been thought, has suggested that people be asked to make scarecrows to display outside their residences. Villagers could then perambulate, view them and decide on the best.
Lynda Snell did try to claim the idea as her own but was forced to concede that it came from Joy.
The Ambridge Socialist sees a close competition between Scarecrows featuring Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer….
Alice is in Rehab
The Rev Richard Coles whose partner David sadly died from alcoholic liver disease has praised the way the Archers has written episodes featuring Alice’s descent into alcoholism. It has sometimes been hard listening particularly for anyone who has had a loved one overtaken with a condition, physical or mental, that leads them to act in ways that are both not of their usual character but also often outside expected ‘normal’ behaviours as well.
Anyway this week Alice has finally entered Rehab where she is meant to be for a month. We shall see..
Brian and Eddie: Patrician Society
Brian Aldridge is an exploiter and member of the Borsetshire ruling class. Eddie Grundy is a mostly landless labourer. Their interests are directly opposed. That didn’t stop them from having a discussion this week about the personal impact when an a crisis hits an offspring- Alice and Will. In Ambridge at least the patrician society that E P Thompson researched still exists.
