1976: A garden centre opened at Grey Gables, managed by Tom and Pru with Higgs as general handyman. ... Jack sold Jaxx Caff and his shares in The Borchester Echo .

Sorry guys...busy elsewhere !

Jack Wooley used to own the Echo, but I am pretty sure he was never the Editor....not really his sort of thing....I doubt if he would have been sober long enough. Elizabeth used to be journo on the Echo, about 30 years ago.

Simon Parker was the Editor during the 70's, although I can't recall exactly when he left the job or why. He did de-flower Shula in a cornfield, which may have resulted in him losing his job.

He was a bit of a cad, although it has to be said that Shula was attracted to cads, like wasps are attracted to open jam jars !

This link may help with similar queries though :::::

Thanks Mikey. That's all I can find as well. Simon Parker was employed by Jack Wooley in 1976 but doesn't say who left or why. I used to listen regularly back then but it is 40 years ago!

Malcopool....is this for a Pub quiz, or similar ?

Prudie

When I was first introduced to the Archers yonks ago (not that I stuck with it) Shula was an absolute *** of a teenager.

mikey4444

Prudie.....lets not split hairs here...she was a tart ! No man in trousers was safe anywhere near her.

Captain2

... or out of trousers! ;0))

Ellipsis

Simon Parker was editor from 1976 to 78, so we are looking for his predecessor.

The only reference to the Borchester Echo I can find is the following ::::

"1976/00/00 A new editor for the Borchester Echo was taken on by Jack Woolley, a young man called Simon Parker, formerly a reporter on the Felpersham Evening Post "
