Rant
I listen to The Archers.
Now you have got over that, let me tell you about something that annoyed me in Friday's episode. Shula's husband has been battling with a gambling addiction over the last few weeks, an addiction that has put them in debt to the tune of £100,000. Fallon, meanwhile, has just had her 21st birthday party. The said party took place in her mother's pub and took the form of a James Bond night with a fake casino. People were not gambling with real money but the person with the most chips at the end won a bottle of champagne.
Given her recent tribulations, it's not surprising that Shula was upset about the idea of a party that involved gambling, fake or otherwise, so she had a bit of a rant about it. However, I think somebody should have pointed out that the said public house exists to involve people in drinking alcohol which also has been known to screw people up.
