Episode 129

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

(door opens)

Justin:  Hello, Lilian, are you in ?

Lilian:  Yes, I’m just in the kitchen, daahling, clearing up.  Jenny was in for lunch and a family chat.

Justin:  Really ?  Anything I should know about ?

Lilian:  Not really, I think we’ve got Mum sorted out now.

Justin:  What’s happened ?

Lilian:  Well, you wouldn’t believe it, but she was planning to organise a pole-dancing event for the next WI meeting.  She had actually signed up Josh and The Young Farmers Club !

Justin:  Good heavens !  She only just got away with male strippers - I was sure someone was going to be prosecuted for that one.

Lilian:  I know.  Luckily she asked Jolene if The Bull was free again and Jolene tipped me off.

Justin:  Well, that was fortuitous.  These kind of events lower the tone of an area and are bound to affect property prices.

Lilian:  You know, I am beginning to wonder what is happening to the women of this village.  We have Peggy and Jill producing aphrodisiac cake and organising strip shows, Shula blackmailing Alan so she can become a vicar and Clarrie turning into a Marxist.  I’m beginning to think there’s something in the water.

Justin:  Don’t be ridiculous, Lilian, it’s probably just a hormonal thing.

(mobile phone rings)

Justin:  Sorry, darling, I have to take this.

(door closes)

Justin:  Hello, Hannah ?  I hope you’ve managed to get that leaking slurry tank fixed.  God knows how long that’s been going on.
