Yes, me too. A large rectangular vehicle with six wheels that transports passengers from A to B. (Archers to Borsetshire).

That sounds a bit like a charabang or charabanc. Maybe a Shillibeer.
Are those two the bd offspring of Brian Aldridge?

A secret tryst with Lynda Snell, while wearing llama skin.

The Archers is one programme I just have to switch off as soon as the opening bars are played.

An anachronism, full of middle-England smugness - though I suppose that's its target audience...

You've obviously never heard Jazza, the Grundy's or the Horobin's then.

Of course. Been listening for 30 odd years, so I'm smugger than a smug person in a very smug place. (But I started out as working class).

I'll be honest - I mostly listen to the weekly omnibus but I almost always fast forward anything with the Grundy's in it....

Not sure how you can comment if you ALWAYS switch it off.

I've tried listening for a while when chancing on it during accidental re-tuning - certainly long enough to form an opinion. I do indeed ALWAYS switch it off on hearing that opening tweedy, Olde-Englishe music.

Try harder on the pedantry next time, there's a good fellow...

Each to his own. I get that you dont like it, not sure why you bothered to visit this thread and post.

Amusing that you refer to smugness and then get extremely smug yourself.

Yes, they really pull it out of the bag now and then. Excellent! It even got a little dusty in my kitchen whilst I listened.

Yep. On a lighter note, Kate discovering she has nowhere to live was deeply satisfying.
