Swede Bashing in Borsetshire


Now I don't mean that there has been an outbreak of violence against Scandinavians in Ambridge (are there any living there at the moment - but maybe they pop in to the Bull now and then). Ed's solution to Oliver's cattle feed problem was to buy a urge quantity of swedes and pulp them up, slipping them into their troughs (or whatever they feed from - hey I'm a townie how do I know?)
Trouble is the milk comes out with a strange taste, so Joe (holder of all farming folklore) has a solution - avoid the swedes just befor the cattle are milked. No wonder Oliver thinks Ed is the best companion to take to Paris for a weekend together - I hasten to assure you that it is for a Farming Festival, not for the delights of the Montmatre. (Caroline might have words about that otherwise).
Meanwhile Lillian and Eddie are finding the absence of alcohol far too much to bear. Good thing lent is not indefinite.
