I think she'll come at him with a meat-cleaver, myself, along with her
suspicious pals that Joy mentioned once. Convinced they are saboteurs of
the most implacable kind.

I wonder if Tom and Kirsty can get involved in a return to their bad old
ways when we actually had Archers appearing in the programme.

Oh, that's a good call. I'd forgotten she was a vegan. We heard it
mentioned recently.

Why would a vegan have a meat cleaver?

If she’s a true vegan why would she actively choose to work at Casey Meats?

I did not think I imagined it. What I do not comprehend is how she was
put on the Packing on Monday morning and was being taken on a tour on
Monday afternoon. In a place like Casey Meats you would spend the first
morning sequestered with HR filling in forms for payroll, pensions,
seeing videos on health and safety, having an ecoli test (possibly) and
you might get a tour later on followed by a training session on packing
to ensure that you do not put the meat in the wrong fridge and so on.

All good points.
Also since Clarrie did a brilliant interview and Susan a rubbish one
how didn't that count to her getting the job?

We were not told - but Helen knew she was going to appoint Susan before
the interview on the grounds that she is:
a) younger and therefore able to give longer service
b) more flexible in adapting to a more duties
c) unspoken but possible output rate.

However what we do not know is how much business has been lost which
means production / output has been reduced. What the plans are to
recover lost business by ramping up marketing - after all the Montys are
still generating the same amount of milk so use needs to be found for
all that milk and Celia Sparrow won't be interested - plus there is a
short shelf life on yoghurt and ice cream and only a limited shelf life
on cheese.

Plus when Helen gets her marketing into gear we know that Susan cannot
do any more hours because she is practically full time between shop and
dairy so cannot work extra hours to cover the former Clarrie hours, all
of which means that decision making at Bodge Farm continues to be
completely out to lunch.

I hate to say it but they actually need a better accountant who does not
look at the figures and dictate what has to happen but someone who can
interpret the data as proper information and come up with an action plan
which makes long term sense.

With your background, maybe you could offer your services as a
consultant to the programme in that respect? A friend of mine, a vicar,
moved on to teach a course for non-stipendary ministers at a theological
college. This was about the time that Ambridge was to have its own
non-stipendary minister and the programme contacted him and hired him as
consultant for those episodes.

It is kind of you to make the suggestion but I rather think all my
advice would undermine the dramatic episodes the programme is seeking to
convey!

There’s something fishy here, Rochelle and Joy are two of a kind. No, I
don’t think Rochelle will get off with Vince but he might well try it on
causing Lizzie heartbreak. Never did see what she sees in him anyway.

Wonder how old Rochelle is. Come to that Joy and Mick.

Mrs McT
Rochelle was 15 in late 90's when she was abandoned for months on end or
a couple of days depending on which version of events you prefer.
Assume '98 so born in '83. So she is 42 plus or minus two years - not
entirely sure.

Assume Joy had a normal life & upbringing and met wossiname (we have
been told - Peter?) and had Rochelle at 25 (we have had no evidence that
she was a young or a geriatric mother) and that would make her around 67
(plus or minus 5 years). She must be drawing some decent pensions or
how else can she afford Beechwood.

On the subject of Beechwood do we have any idea of the house numbering
system / the individual roads on the estate or is there just one large
house which many many people all live in?

If it’s as chaotic as some estates here which might have been built when
Beechwood was, yer pays yer money and takes yer chance a local can help
yer. Some 1979s estates near here are a total mystery to me to this day

I used to live at an address which was just House Name, General
Location, Village, Postcode and one of my sons currently lives at a
No.40 which is next door to No.39 on one side and No.41 on the other.
Meanwhile, we think the numbering of the place where my other son
lives, on the other side of the Americas, probably came about by
numbering the first house "1" and then incrementing the number each
time another house was built. So there's lots of scope for fun and
games at Beechwood.

The house where I grew up had an address which was just House Name,
Village Name, Larger Village Name[1], County, Postcode. It didn't help
that the house was off the main road through the village down what was,
essentially, a farm track[2] but the council refused permission for my
parents to put any kind of signage on the verge, where the track joined
the main road.


A few miles away, near a neighbouring village, there were a pair of
semi-detached cottages, completely isolated from any other houses,
named 18 and 19 Willum Wood. I have no idea where numbers 1-17 may have
been. My understanding is that all the houses on that estate[3] were
numbered in the order in which they had been built.



[1] aka Post Town
[2] although, fortunately for my parents, the council had adopted it a
few decades earlier, when they'd been thinking of building a new road
there. Having dropped that plan, it was made up as far as our house
before reverting to a rough track.
[3] In the old, rural, meaning of that word.

a couple of days depending on which version of events you prefer.
Assume '98 so born in '83. So she is 42 plus or minus two years - not
entirely sure.
Assume Joy had a normal life & upbringing and met wossiname (we have
been told - Peter?) and had Rochelle at 25 (we have had no evidence that
she was a young or a geriatric mother) and that would make her around 67
(plus or minus 5 years). She must be drawing some decent pensions or
how else can she afford Beechwood.
On the subject of Beechwood do we have any idea of the house numbering
system / the individual roads on the estate or is there just one large
house which many many people all live in?
I used to live at an address which was just House Name, General
Location, Village, Postcode and one of my sons currently lives at a
No.40 which is next door to No.39 on one side and No.41 on the other.
Meanwhile, we think the numbering of the place where my other son
lives, on the other side of the Americas, probably came about by
numbering the first house "1" and then incrementing the number each
time another house was built. So there's lots of scope for fun and
games at Beechwood.
The house where I grew up had an address which was just House Name,
Village Name, Larger Village Name[1], County, Postcode. It didn't help
that the house was off the main road through the village down what was,
essentially, a farm track[2] but the council refused permission for my
parents to put any kind of signage on the verge, where the track joined
the main road.
A few miles away, near a neighbouring village, there were a pair of
semi-detached cottages, completely isolated from any other houses,
named 18 and 19 Willum Wood. I have no idea where numbers 1-17 may have
been. My understanding is that all the houses on that estate[3] were
numbered in the order in which they had been built.
[1] aka Post Town
[2] although, fortunately for my parents, the council had adopted it a
few decades earlier, when they'd been thinking of building a new road
there. Having dropped that plan, it was made up as far as our house
before reverting to a rough track.
[3] In the old, rural, meaning of that word.
I live in an old, terraced house along a road of old terraced houses but
from looking at old maps and photos it's clear that many unfit terraces
were demolished during the last century and that the odd pair left
standing here and there in odd locations are all that remains of what
were once whole communities.

Along my road the numbering on one side goes 1-21 then 45-up and No.21
has an exceptionally long gardencomprising what presumably were the
plots for 23-43.

I too live in a terraced house but in Wassname Street in a village on
the outskirts of a town. About half a mile away in the town is another
Wassname Street of terraced houses. Their address is Wassname Street,
Townname, whereas ours is Wassname Street, Villagename, Townname. Also,
they number odd one side, even the other, whereas we go up one side and
down the other.

They go up to No 30 and we start at No 33 IIRC. You do get the
occasional person looking for a house in the wrong street.

I occasionally get delivery people coming to my back door looking for
Number 7. I'm half way up the hill, No.7 is right down at the bottom
of the hill but for some unknown reason Google Maps has put a no.7 on
their outline plan of my house. Even though my house is a much - much
- higher number than 7 they still come round to check. They don't try
the front door because there's a bloomin' great brass two-digit
number there and even a delivery driver can see it's not the number
they are looking for. The reason they come to check the backdoor is
because my terrace is a random mix of back-to-back and through
dwellings and they wouldn't know mine was a through terrace unless
they checked. But given that the numbering of back-to-backs is vaguely
consistent I can't see why they think No.7 might be hiding behind my
<much bigger number>.

You can correct the numbering on Google maps. I've done it on a few of
the houses near here. I can't promise that that putting 7 in the correct
place on the map would encourage people to look for it at the bottom of
the hill.

So when do we think she's going to be getting her hands on Casey's Meat ?
I think she'll come at him with a meat-cleaver, myself, along with her
suspicious pals that Joy mentioned once. Convinced they are saboteurs of
the most implacable kind.
There’s something fishy here, Rochelle and Joy are two of a kind.
No, I
don’t think Rochelle will get off with Vince but he might well try it on
causing Lizzie heartbreak.  Never did see what she sees in him anyway.
Wonder how old Rochelle is.  Come to that Joy and Mick.

I once bought a house called "The Cottage". It was in a lane with about
six other houses and the next one up (which was at rightangles to mine)
was also called "The Cottage".

I changed the name to Owl Cottage, because owls are a family thing and I
could hear owls in the small wood at the end of the garden. Two things
then happened: the wood was dug up and houses built and I discovered
the word "owl" is almost impossible to say in a manner which can be
understood over the phone. I owlways had to spell it out.

Every time I hear the name Rochelle, I expect it to be followed by
"Biscay, Sole" and WTTEO "Easterly 6 to gale 8 in far southeast,
otherwise cyclonic 4 to 6. Moderate or rough. Thundery showers. Good,
occasionally poor."

That makes Fochelle sense ;)

PS So some of us were right in saying Joy was lying.

I think the Kate's (?) OP that R's job at abattoir will lead to a
shambles [1] are correct.

[1] See what I did there ?
