Peggy sticks to her guns, and Jim wonders if he's being over sensitive.

Peggy insists she'd rather manage on her own than get an agency helper but she'd like Jennifer to take her to the shop. Jennifer tells Peggy to go in without her when she sees Jim is working. Jill turns up to take over in the shop, so Jennifer can't avoid Jim as he leaves. Meanwhile, Jill tells Peggy that there's a good sign-up for the flower festival. There needs to be, as the PCC have voted to go ahead with the organ repairs at a cost of £30,000.

Lynda reads the announcement about Bridge Farm in the Borchester Echo, and is convinced they've never really bounced back from the E. Coli.

At the Fete committee, Jazzer suggests someone Scottish should open the event, and offers to approach a Scottish clan chief. Lynda insists the Highland Games are just a small part of the whole event and wants to keep more likely avenues open. Jazzer accuses her of being racist, which Lynda flatly denies.

Lynda is anxious to refute Jazzer's claim that she's a racist but when Jazzer declares that he'll be wandering round the green playing his bag pipes, she can't stop herself from asking him if he's any good.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
