me and the farmer on the Archers

its the Archers and l am one of the one in 11 who listen to this drama.
 Over the years, some of the topics addressed include everything from the British floods,people lost property and lives put at risk,
and a pet died and came back to living among us in this 
life.
Scruff.
That old chestnut of course Fox hunting, BSE crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Britain joining the Common Market along with the  closure of the Royal Show in 2009.

not everything has been an easy listen

  • In 1955, 20 million listeners tuned in when Grace Archer tragically died in her husband’s arms after she tried to rescue a horse from a barn fire.
  • To mark the show’s 60th anniversary, a bumper 30-minute episode on New Year’s Day 2011 saw the popular Nigel Pargetter fall to his death from the roof of Lower Loxley Hall.
  • l actually laughed it was so funny
  • From the latter end of 2015, listeners were glued to their radios as Rob Titchener ramped up the low-level undermining and abuse of his pregnant wife Helen, née Archer
  • but this has been perhaps a bit to far coining the phrase eastendersrural a cross between that awful dross,even loved by my son,eastenders and the rural soap we call Archers.
  • this has not addressed the issue of domestic violence it just become tedious and boring.,   it not the place of such dramas to be torchbearers for serious issues.
  • Simply does not work on this platform. . . .also it got dragged out.
  • But then in every 100 people in the UK, there are around another 9 who may disagree with myself on this.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
