The child ‘Storm’ will end up as a tattooed lout, drinking on the Green, stealing bunting, worrying sheep … a rural ne’er do well. #TheArchers

I just had a huge sneezing fit. Considering the day I’ve had, I may be allergic to paying bills. #TheArchers

The rewilding is such a cop-out. It’s not #rewilding at all. If a dropped branch, blown down naturally in a storm, has to be ‘cleaned up’ and tidied away then where’s the natural process in that? It should be left where it falls to attract deadwood insects and fungi. #TheArchers

Ash tree. It will be ash dieback, but HSE will find that Lower Loxley did not do a tree inspection and left a dangerous tree beside the road. Lizard will be in the frame for the deaths of Vince the Mince and the youthful beautician. #TheArchers
