Kenton scabs on plans to mark 100th anniversary of Joe Grundy’s birth
Eddie Grundy plans to enter and win the Flower and Produce Show to mark the 100th anniversary of Joe Grundy’s birth on 18th September 1921. Joe died in October 2019 as the first Grundy cider of the year was produced.
Eddie’s plan is focused on the excellent Grundy cider
Now reactionary pub landlord Kenton Archer is threatening to sabotage Eddie’s plan, entering the Bull’s hanging basket with a view to stopping Eddie winning. Kenton appears motivated by a dislike of proletarian drinkers like Joe and Eddie. The Ambridge Socialist condemns Kenton and anyone who backs him.
Alice is back again
Alice is back in Ambridge but not living with Chris, needing to continue to sort matters out without his well-meant but not particularly helpful assistance. It continues to be an important storyline, well told and acted.
Adam and Ian may leave Ambridge
Adam and Ian are Ambridge’s foremost gay couple. Unconnectedly they are also some of Ambridge’s most boring people(though competition for this is sharp). Brexiteer Adam is perpetually whingeing about something. This week it was his new boss. The Ambridge Socialist has little sympathy for the boss class but Adam himself doesn’t appear a particularly sympathetic person. By contrast Ian is clearly an excellent chef at Grey Gables and appears a decent sort but is rather one-dimensional. Adam has discussed moving out of Ambridge to be nearer to his new job. The Ambridge Socialist could accept this as a way forward.
