Jennifer to Brian should be at evens.

How about Alan to anyone? Alan to Clarrie should be in there. I have no idea how likely it is, though, because I am not going to look and see when he is next in the cast.

Ed to Emma, only heā€™d say ā€˜it wasnā€™t your faultā€™ (or ā€˜it werenā€™t your faultā€™?)

Ruth to Pip.

As the World centres around her sheā€™s bound to find some way sheā€™s responsible.

Whoā€™s going to usr that horrible phrase "donā€™t beat yourself up "?

When I hear that, I always think: Oh, go on, do, please!

My reaction is more ā€œCan I watch? It must be really difficult to do.ā€

Or occasionally, ā€œCan I help?ā€

But if you want to be sure itā€™s done properlyā€¦?

Meanwhile, did anyone have Eddie to Clarrie? I reckon his ā€œDonā€™t go looking for rhyme or reasonā€ counts

Well, Clarrie was definitely on the verge of blaming herself when Eddie stopped her. No skin off my nose, though - I was merely proposing it as the first instance, not claiming the prize.

Soz, joe. But no, we need to hear precisely those hallowed (by frequent repetition at Helen) words. And see proof of ticket purchase, before anyone heads off for a life of idle luxury on the 4s&6d payout.
