Episode 126
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
(door bell rings)
Peggy: Hello, Jill, in you come.
Jill: Morning, Peggy. Sorry I’m late but I couldn’t get out of the yard. Josh got the grain trailer stuck on the gate post and David was giving him pelters.
Peggy: Pelters ? What does that mean ?
Jill: No idea, but you have to keep up with the slang and the chat or you’re packed off to The Laurels.
Peggy: Well, you’re here now so have a seat in the drawing room and I’ll bring in the tea. Still no scones or cakes I’m glad to see.
Jill: No, I’ve given up baking.
Peggy: Because of the police investigation ?
Jill: No, because Leonard refuses to eat cake now. I think he’s finally cottoned on - sweet man but not so bright. Says he needs a good night’s rest.
Peggy: I’ll bring the tray through. Say hello to Hilda, she’s on her usual sofa.
Jill: Hello, Hilda, you’re still here I see, you mangy object.
(Hilda: Obvs. I own the joint.)
Peggy: Now, here’s your tea, Jill, and we can get down to the business of the day.
Jill: Which is ?
Peggy: What are we going to do for next month’s WI meeting ?
Jill: How about a quiz ? People love quizzes. Or a Vera Lynn singalong ?
Peggy: Come on, Jill, get with the programme as the young people say.
Jill: Well, what are you thinking of ?
Peggy: Pole dancing.
Jill: Pole dancing ! Well, I suppose it would be good for our muscle tone and bone strength.
Peggy: Not us, Jill ! We would pay young men to pole dance.
Jill: Oh...I see what you mean. And where are we going to get these young men ?
Peggy: Who are the fittest young men in our community and who are always short of cash ?
Jill: The Young Farmers Club !
Peggy: Exactly. Tell Josh to come and see me and we can negotiate terms.
Jill: Oh no, what will David and Ruth say ?
Peggy: They’ll give you pelters, obvs.
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
(Ed. Who says we don’t do farming ?)

Farming in the Archers? Surely some mistake?
