Are we going to get this every month, mikey?

[mikey4444]

As long as I remember BB ! It was in the Guardian yesterday, so there will be another one in about 4 weeks time. If I forget, remind me !

[jourdain2]

Not a word on the 'Pet' problem. That one is serious.

[jourdain2]

^^ Must've hit something. But thanks anyway mikey. :)

[hellywelly4]

I can't sort out the bedroom arrangements they were talking about if pet love comes to live in Ambridge.

[zebo]

Can't pet go into vare home near Ambridge? I'v

[mikey4444]

Well, I think they are talking about Pip's bedroom. The boys have moved in together, and David's Mum has one of the boys rooms. Not sure where Bert is sleeping...in an alcove under the stairs somewhere perhaps !

If Pet Love does move down south, (which is a solution they should have come to a year ago ! ) then Pip won't have a bedroom when she comes back to Ambridge !

If she goes to Brazil at all, of course !

Its all getting terribly complicated isn't it !

By the way, I can see Kenton doing a runner sometime soon. It won't be the first times he has run away, rather than face the music....a complete wassock, but I guess every family has one I suppose.

Just listened to tonight's episode - didn't see that coming! No spoilers, don't worry, but it will be interesting to see what happens now.
I'm getting fed up with Kenton being (as we say in Leicestershire) "Mardy" meaning sulking and negative.

[mikey4444]

Helly........as far as I am concerned Fenton can begger off back to the Antipodes.

Can't wait for Hazel Wolley to make a come back !

[zebo]

Hazel v Linda, fisticuffs on the Green, I'd pay good money!

[mikey4444]

Hazel is a nasty piece of work, make no mistake. The only person who can even begin to keep her in check is Peggy, and even she can't manage it completely.

[hellywelly4]

Just voted on the Archers web site for whether pet love should come and live at Brookfield. I voted No, but I was seriously outnumbered. Can you imagine what it would be like with her living there?
Also I'll be interested tonight to hear more of the Saga of Berrow Farm.

[ladybirder]

Ooh I didn't know we could vote, thanks Helly, I shall go and vote Yes to put the cat among the pigeons.

Not to spoil it for those who haven't heard last night's episode but it weren't half good - the net is closing in (nudge nudge wink wink).

[mikey4444]

Ladybirder...yes, the net is certainly closing, but who wants to bet he will get away with it ?

Didn't know you could vote...I will go over straight away and put my x in.

There...done it ! 73% said yes and I agree...bring the old bat down south !

[hellywelly4]

Lady and Mikey- you don't really think she should come down to Brookfield do you? I thought she would be better in the Larches. Poor Jill will be run ragged catering.

[mikey4444]

The Larches would be an ideal answer I suppose ....ooooh...look at the time....must go !

[Hopkirk]

Quick, it's about to start.

[Hopkirk]

Wow.

Jill and Toby. Who would have thought it?

[hellywelly4]

Have I missed something Hopkirk? What do you mean?

[mikey4444]

He's a lying toad !

And Helen takes it all in, hook, line and sinker !
