Having joined this site initially I thought you were archer lovers Now I see you are Archers cynics Having read the Matt investment storyline above I concur it’s a pile of horse sh\*t and the writers need a damn good flogging! ---

It’s just that the last few years it’s been hard to believe the producers do. Oh for an editor who understands radio and isn’t using it as a route into TV soap and trying to turn it into a carbon copy of them. ---

> [@joe](#): > > we do - or did - love TA "Speak fer yerself, joe’. No, I agree with the points you make above. But I don’t think I ever _loved_ it. It became a habit. I had stopped listening for a long time before I hooked up with Himself, and then it sort of started again. We would often listen in separate rooms, and he could hear my shrieks of rage and derision (or sometimes of minor cooking injury, depending) and I could hear him laugh at them (which didn’t go down too well when it was a minor cooking injury, needless to say). Now it is punctuation between day and evening and one needs to keep up to play on the boards.
