The Ambridge Socialist (Late Extra)

Poppy Grundy scoops special Flower & Produce Prize to mark Joe Grundy’s 100th anniversary
Eddie Grundy’s plans to enter and win the Flower and Produce Show to mark the 100th anniversary of Joe Grundy’s birth on 18th September 1921 saw a successful conclusion on Sunday. Joe died in October 2019 as the first Grundy cider of the year was produced.
Eddie’s plan was focused across a range of Grundy produce including trimmed beetroot but it was Poppy Grundy’s monkey collage that attracted a special prize to mark Joe’s 100th.
Reactionary pub landlord Kenton Archer originally tried to sabotage Eddie’s plan, entering the Bull’s hanging basket with a view to stopping Eddie winning. Kenton appeared motivated by a dislike of proletarian drinkers like Joe and Eddie. However later following the intervention of supporters of the Ambridge Socialist he saw the error of his ways and brought Eddie a pint.
The Ambridge Socialist’s tribute to Joe Grundy
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.
