Episode 88
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
Alan: It’s good you popped into church today, Shula, as I wanted a word.
Shula: It’s always good to speak to you, Alan. Is there a problem?
Alan: Well, I had rather a strange call from the bishop this morning. I didn’t really understand what he was on about at first but he was concerned about you and your application to join the priesthood.
Shula: I can’t imagine what he is talking about. I live like a nun these days.
Alan: It was something about a WI meeting held in The Bull the other evening which got a bit raucous.
Shula: What did he say ?
Alan: I stopped him short. I said I couldn’t imagine how a WI meeting which usually discusses topics as controversial as cake recipes could possibly be described as raucous.
Shula: You’ve clearly not heard the rumpus about Mum’s new recipe then. That’s all getting a bit heated.
Alan: But he persisted and said that a talk on local wildlife had caused an outbreak of animalistic behaviour in sections of the audience. He claimed the police were called and a number of people were arrested including Jennifer Aldridge.
Shula: What’s this got to do with me ?
Alan: He said you had been arrested, too.
Shula: Did he tell you where he got all this nonsense from ?
Alan: I asked him that and he went a bit quiet.
Shula: Oh, really ?
Alan: But apparently his wife was in the same police van as you...
Shula: Did he say anything else ?
Alan: He asked for your mother’s recipe for lemon drizzle cake. That really surprised me as I didn’t have him down as a baker.
Shula: And if I can get it ?
Alan: He’s prepared to forget all about the incident.
