Don't get me wrong, I don't hate all young people but I can't stand the ones on The Archers. I don't know who any of them are and I couldn't care less.


Nelson Gabriel hasn't been on for ages. Black sheets on the washing line, who's doing the flowers for the church, the love that dare not speak its name AND tractors.


Now that's soap.

John Archer was worse. The writers, to their credit, killed him off beneath the old grey Fordson.


Sadly the family sold the Fordson, so another means will have to be found to do away with the big-headed younger brother.


Bringing Walter Gabriel back could help Tom's demise. Haunted and hounded by the spirit of Walter, driven to shoot himself with a 12 bore on the very spot that his older brother was squished to death. That would learn him.

I used to watch most of the soaps at one time or other and Brookside was so funny and gritty but the Archers is the only one I stick with. The Eastenders take over of Archers was just a nasty rumour but if it ever did get as miserable as EASTENDERS I would stop listening to that too!

Kirsty, Rhys, Harry, Fallon and Freddie P are all OK but they're mostly irritating. Special mentions for Emma, who seems to be turning into her mother (Will will live to bless the day she left him), and Lily P who is seriously annoying and one suspects can only get worse. Presumably it's going to get a lot sillier now that they've got an editor who's come from Eastenders, Holby City etc. For me they've been on borrowed time since they killed off Nigel. Don't they realise that the Archers is supposed to be about the everyday life of farming folk?

Fantastic bit of Radio 4 science programme trivia for you.


When David pushed Nigel off the roof, the length of Nigel's scream could be used to calculate the height of the roof from which he fell.


Thus the Pargeter Family's stately home has a height that is somewhat greater than that of York Minster!


Which means that they have some of the longest ladders in the country.

Or maybe his sweater caught a thread, thus slowing him down somewhat


Therefore reducing his velocity & prolonging the fall


Maybe


*tries to work out amount of wool required to make said sweater*

Or perhaps his tweed jacket caught an updraught on the way down, creating a kind of parachute that slowed the descent?

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
