Boycott of Village Fete grows
Questioned by Lynda on how ticket sales for the Village Fete are going Susan admitted that she had given those with less money concessions. The vicar’s demand that tickets must be full price only was not very Christian.
Bert joins the Free Speech Union
Bert has been outstandingly rude to several people this week but as we know hurty words are just that and no more. Neil has provided a robust critique of Bert’s behaviour (& Chris has moved out) but Susan has claimed that Bert is not as bad as his own father was
Class struggle
Driving the combine slowly along Ambridge roads Ed encountered an irate motorist. Ed fingered rich people who see the country as a sort of museum or playground and get annoyed when the day to day life of the village gets in their way.
Relationships
Rex has definitively moved in with Alice. However Chris will not be moving in with Lotte any time soon it appears. Meanwhile Fallon is pondering where she will be living after deciding to quit the Bull’s kitchen for a new venture at Lower Loxley. As for Knacker Burns, he remains living adjacent to The Bull for the moment, even though Rex’s houseboat could be available once the paperwork is done.
