Mad Maypoles

One of the (many) irritating features of life in Ambridge is this constant theme of 'rural pursuits'. If it isn't hunting then they are judging the largest marrow, or producing a pedigree goat or embarking on reviving 'traditional' country activities.

So of course vast sums of money are being lavished upon a maypole. But at least is something for David & Ruth to become involved in together - ahhhhh, bless. Excuse me whilst I lose my lunch.

The plan to get Jack Woolley to accept honorary membership of the Ambridge Cricket Club whilst dedicating the pavilion in his honour, has gone badly wrong. In his senility he has decided he won't attend - so the guest of honour's seat will be vacant. How will Alastair and Shula (silly name) get around that one then?

Mike is gathering evidence of swede contaminated milk to make Ed unemployed once more.
