My wife - but only when we go away on holiday.

The β€œflash wheels”, Lynda’s speeding campaign, and the honking car the other night could be precursors to a speeding accident in #TheArchers. If so, then I hope it isn’t Amber being hit and losing the baby.
(In unrelated news, I’m becoming a conspiracy theorist.)

Anyway, I'm fairly sure that they're definitely on a break.

I’ve not (yet) watched Blue Lights. Does it contain a reference to #TheArchers?

Sono inglese (perdonatemi). C'Γ¨ un link a un sito web che mi spieghi il contesto di tutto questo, per favore? Non cerco discussioni, solo di capire. Grazie.

I came on here to defend Helen, but then decided that I couldn't be bothered.

This infographic, titled "Bridge Farm 2026: Audit Results & Strategic Future," illustrates the operational performance and future plans for an organic farm through a mix of text and pastoral illustrations.

The left side, "Performance by Sector," highlights key areas:

Veg Box Scheme: Has reached a 5-year high with massive growth.

Dairy: Labeled the "Most Successful Area," with an urgent need for permanent staffing to handle new hotel contracts.

Tea Room and Shop: Showing "Resilient Recovery" with customer numbers returning after a sewage spill.

Sausages: Sales are "Coasting" and need new marketing strategies.

A central clipboard summarizes action items, such as securing permanent staff for dairy and veg boxes and reviewing the performance of sausages and beef.

The right side, "Strategic Proposals & Risk Mitigation," focuses on restructuring:

Angus Herd: Due to rising feed costs, the herd no longer makes financial sense and will be removed.

'More Monty' Cattle: The farm will transition to MontbΓ©liarde cattle to maximize dairy efficiency.

Sourcing Beef: To maintain shop stock, they will partner with local Borsetshire organic beef producers.

Finally, "Talent & Growth" at the bottom highlights Helen Archer's commitment to the farm ("Bridge Farm is my heart"), noting she declined an external job offer. Next to her, a diverse group represents "Future Leadership Confidence," showing the younger generation is empowered to make future investments.

This weeks AI infographic of, mostly the farm audit for #TheArchers. I actually think this infographic has more detail than the real audit

Labour in β€˜deep trouble’ with Black voters, Operation Black Vote chair warns David Weaver says proposed jury reforms and slow progress on equality risk eroding support in marginal seats Labour is in β€œdeep trouble” with Black voters, a former government adviser has warned, saying the party is at risk of being seen as β€œaccepting the normalisation of racism”. David Weaver, who is the chair of Operation Black Vote (OBV), said the government’s plans to restrict juries would β€œheighten, normalise and embed” racial disproportionality in the justice system and that Black voters were saying: β€œWe don’t know what Labour stands for any more.” Continue reading...

Here's our 🎢 parody version of Barry McGuire's 1965 "Eve of Destruction" that we've modernised to turn to current US adventurism. We're calling it: "Grief and Destruction" πŸš€

And, if it is the same car, it is George who saw it on both occasions and so could be called upon to describe it.

Good choice, but I would choose a dark chocolate digestive, or a cookie that wasn't a run-of-the-mill type.

Come tifoso dell'Inghilterra sono deluso, ma congratulazioni all'Italia per la storica vittoria di oggi nel rugby.

Yes. I’ve had a look now, thanks.
Does appear that there will be some developments on this over the coming weeks.

I think that he could feel hard done by in this scenario. However, at some point, the prosecution of Marky’s mate has to collapse.

Saw a post that it’s surprising that George hasn’t yet exploited Brian’s (false) confession.
Then: why haven’t the police updated George on the (wrongful) prosecution of Marky’s mate?
Also: if George won’t come forward with his evidence then is he perverting the course of justice again?

Hey @academicarchers.bsky.social , it looks like you should have included "favourite biscuit" in your World Cup competition.

Perhaps a speeding accident could involve the same β€œflash wheels” we heard about on NYE and then never got mentioned again?

20 years might be leaving it a little late, but at least any problems should be evident.

Yea, I had wondered about that too. I don’t know what abnormalities can be shown on a 13-week scan?
