Episode 86
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
Christine: Hello, Fallon, where are you off to this evening ?
Fallon: Well, Harrison is workin and Mum said there was summat good on at The Bull tonight so I thought I’d go along.
Christine: That’s where I’m going but I can’t imagine why Jolene would recommend a WI meeting to you.
Fallon: Oi dunno. She just said there was goin to be a big girls’ night in the upstairs room - over a hundred - and it would be a laugh. She’s ordered extra sherry as there might be a run on the amontillado.
Christine: Really ? I am very fond of a dry fino myself. But I can’t imagine why so many people would want to come to the WI. There’s usually only about ten ladies on a normal evening.
Fallon: No idea but Mum could do with the business. Ever since Jazzer was barred, profits ‘ave been way down. Anyway, what usually goes on at a WI meeting ?
Christine: It depends, dear. Sometimes there’s a speaker who talks about a cruise they went on without catching the norovirus. And we exchange recipes.
Fallon: Yeah, Oi’ve ‘eard that Jill Archer ‘as a great recipe for lemon drizzle cake that everyone is gaggin for. Oi could do with it to bring more punters into the tearoom.
Christine: Goodness knows where Jill gets her ideas from. She was a career girl, you know, before she married my brother, Phil. Used to gad about all over the country - demonstrating she called it. We never found out exactly what she demonstrated.
Fallon: But that must have been over 60 years ago.
Christine: It takes a long time to be accepted in Ambridge.
Fallon: Oi’ll bear that in mind.
Christine: Here we are, dear. Oh, I see lots of other people from The Laurels. And there’s Sabrina - she looks very excited although I’m not sure that neckline is suitable for the WI.
Fallon: And here’s a poster for the event.
Christine: What does it say, Fallon ? I forgot my glasses.
Fallon: Says summat about the Beasts of Ambridge and there’s a picture of Jazzer.
Christine: Oh, lovely, perhaps it’s a talk on our local wildlife.
Fallon: Probably not the kind of wildlife you’re thinkin of - Jazzer is wearing a mask and not much else.
Christine: So how do you know it’s Jazzer ?
Fallon: Let’s just say, once seen never forgotten. And you’re not going to need your glasses...
Christine: Pour me a large one, Jolene !
