Helen and Dane: Panto season returns
The official Ambridge Panto was in January but late May has seen a reprise. Helen met Grey Gables manager Dane via the dating app and had a meal with him at the hotel. Cue, Ian, Adam, Lily etc….
The charging station, the village shop & Underwoods Local
The units at the charging station have eventually opened. The Grab & Go coffee place is clearly no threat to the tearooms. However a new Underwoods Local (staffed obviously by Clarrie Grundy) may cause issues for the village shop. Its seasonal offers undercut the prices the shop can charge.
According to the Professor the shop faces an existential crisis, although how many Sartre devotees listen to the Archers is unclear
Cue a three page paper based village shop customer survey the main conclusion to which seems to be that service is a bit grumpy, and why not? The Ambridge Socialist suggests that a new sign is erected: Ambridge Village Shop: Local People Only
Alice & Martha
Martha is due to start school but Alice and Chris have been called in to the nursery to discuss the view that Martha sometimes lack attention and focus. Alice seems to think this is due to her drinking while pregnant. To the Ambridge Socialist it sounds a bit like biological determinism but we are not doing our own research on it
The Archers in 1950
