Episode 106

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Fallon:  What’s up, ‘Arrison ?  You’re not doin your usual laughin policeman act.  In fact you’ve bin pretty miserable all week.

Harrison :  Sorry, love, got a lot on me mind at the moment.

Fallon:  ‘Ello, ‘ello, ‘ello,  you’re not still thinkin about that nonsense with the llamas are you ?  I mean that was funny and it’s not like losin a cricket match is the end of the world.

(Harrison resists the temptation to fall to the floor)

Harrison:  (gulp). Sometimes I don’t think you understand me at all.  Of course it’s the end of the world !

Fallon: Okay.  I admit it, I don’t get sport.  I was sayin to Tracy that winnin weren’t important but she weren’t havin any of it, either.

Harrison:  She’s even more competitive than me.

Fallon:  She’s always been like that with men but since she started cricket she’s gone completely mad.  Anyway, what’s goin on with you ?

Harrison:  I really shouldn’t talk about work but my boss has given me a really weird job to do.

 Fallon:  Customers at Grey Gables making inappropriate food requests ?

Harrison:  No, although I wouldn’t put it past someone to complain about limited vegan options.  Actually, it's worse than that but it is about food.

Fallon:  I hope it isn’t anything to do with lemon drizzle cake.

Harrison :  How did you know ?

Fallon:  I didn’t, it’s just that since we started serving that new recipe in the tea room it’s become the best seller.

Harrison:  Have you got the recipe ?

Fallon:  No.  Jill wouldn’t pass it on so she makes us three dozen cakes a week instead.

Harrison:  I need to have some of that cake for testing.

Fallon:  Well, I’ll be chargin you top price for a slice -  it’s like a drug to some of our customers.

Harrison:  That’s what’s worrying my boss.

Fallon:  You can’t really believe that Jill Archer, a pillar of this community, is sellin druggy cake ?

Harrison:  Stranger things have happened in this village.

Fallon:  That’s true.  How did Roy Tucker get into Elizabeth Pargetter’s knickers ?

(Ed.  Perhaps Roy’s a secret baker.)
