_un homage_.

Or something of the sort, anyhow.

un homard? Oooooh, you said 'ommidge. Couldn’t work out where the lobster came in.

That is alarmingly ‘true’, that homage. Like it.

The owner of the ramrod might object, though. Imagine having to clean bits of Pip-brain off it. Urgle.

Close, joe. Bar tender at The Bull. They hired either Harry or Rhys instead, forget which.

Harry - that’s why I thought it was the milk round. Wasn’t there an equally “unconventional” applicant for that, to whom Vicki objected?

Rhys was brought in later in the desperate hope that Harry might seem interesting in comparison.

Ah yes…Vicky’s diary, that’s what got me started listening to TA !!

Shall I ever forgive you ? Not sure LordSusan ever will as he gets shushed every time he tries to speak when I’m listening to it 😀

As far as I remember, Vicky wanted the milk round to employ a gurl, and Mike for once did as he preferred and hired the person he thought was more enthusiastic and with whom he would be happier working. This seemed only fair since Vicky was nothing whatever to do with the milk round even if she did manage to buy Ed’s soul for twenty-five cows.

The girl was called Veronica, and Vicky thought that she was more approachable and had more small-talk, those essentials for a milk retail sales rounds-person.

(How did I know? Just been writing up Ed’s Who’s Who entry, innI.)

I see, so it’s my fault, is it? Never mind, if ever you want LordSusan out from under your feet, just start playing the Omnibus. 😉

Thanks for that, Fanta, I had totally forgotten it. Nice that Mike got his own way for once, it didn’t happen very often, Vicky saw to that.

I wonder if Mike and Vicky and Bethany will return. I would like that. Distinctive characters and an update on Bethany. They could do the latter properly in my view.

The trouble is that the house has been sold, so there is nowhere in Ambridge for them to move back to. Otherwise, I would find them preferable to any of the characters SO’C introduced instead of them - and I didn’t even like Mike and Vicky, or find them particularly interesting.

Perhaps they could buy Blossom Hill Cottage from Usha and Anisha could find somewhere else to live. What happened to the flat over the shop? Hazel still owns the shop and flat, doesn’t she? Did she do it up as she did with Keeper’s Cottage? I know, get rid of Pip and Anisha can rent Rickyard. No chance of that, sadly!

I do miss Mike and Vicky. I also didn’t find either likeable but they added something to the village and besides, I had got used to them!

There must be other, hitherto unnamed, houses in the village which they would be able to afford. At least five or six on the village green are not occupied by people we have ever heard of, and there are seven on the road out past Grey Gables before you get to the Lodge and the Blossom Hill Cottage turnoff. Green Farm and Overton Farm are free, and so is Bull Farm these days. Also there is a wodge of housing up by Bank Farm, on the way to Hillside from Bluebell Cottage…

It could be done if there were a will to do it. Kathy might move out, even!
