RestOfWorld: "Decency? Good taste? in The Archers? Bwwwaaaahhhhhhhhhh haaaaa haaaaaaaaa bloody haaaa! "
ProfJimus: “It appears to be a type of facial cream!”
RestOfWorld: “…oh, Proffesewer, wrong end!!!”
…later:
Nartarsher: “You’ve got a lot of bags there, Robert!”
Robert (…thinks) “…true, and here comes the biggest bag of all!”
(enter Lynda): “…this is my sewing-machine, not just any old Singer, but my sewing machine, used by me when I’m sewing all the amazing costumes for my amazing productions!” (…er, that’s enough of TheAmazingMrsSnell for tonight! "CLICK" - Ed)
