The Ambridge Socialist
27th February
Ambridge ruling class split over future of pig farming. We say: No Redundancies
Justin Elliott has told Borchester Land’s Martyn Gibson that the pig unit at Berrow Farm which is loss making must be shut or he will withdraw his investment. Gibson has raised the issue with Brian Aldridge who has overall responsibility for the operation (over a pint at the Bull obviously). Aldridge believes that pig farming has a future and plans to oppose Elliott’s closure plan at a BL Board meeting. The Ambridge Socialist demands that must be no redundancies at Berrow Farm and all workers must be redeployed or offered at least a year’s money in voluntary severance.
Tracy plans to resurrect the Ambridge cricket team
After two years of the pandemic Tracy is determined there will be an Ambridge cricket team this year. Jazzer is sceptical but Tracy underlines that it is a game for proletarians not toffs. The pitch uncovered since 2019 needs work and there is the matter of players..
Housing issues
There are not enough affordable homes in Ambridge and very little is ever done about it. However Chris has decided to turn down Brian’s offer of a free cottage at Home Farm, wanting to be free of the Archer Dynasty, a healthy proletarian instinct. Stella is moving into the bungalow at Brookfield, replacing Rex who is moving out- to a mystery location elsewhere in Ambridge..
Amy, Rex & Chris too…
Alice has engineered an evening out for Amy and Rex which appears to go well enough. Later it transpires that Amy has been in bed with Chris. This being Ambridge, Rex was not there as well and there was no shower scene. The Ambridge Socialist sends best wishes to all.
