In the 1950's - I am told - it was all about whether Dan Archer was having 2 boiled eggs (vice one) for his breakfast

New Zealand did for Sid Perks, maybe it'll be the end of Ruth too?

I'm surprised we haven't been treated to any Skype sessions.
Btw, does Aunt Laura have any rellies left out there? (Does anyone even remember Aunt Laura?)

That's turnover, not profit. But still seems a large turnover per month. Large turnover leading to small percentage profits might be why the business is on a knife edge. If the running costs swamp the returns, you're in trouble.
Here's average household incomes for farmers in England (it gives household income rather than individual income, and breaks down the number of adults in the households in a later table). It should be noted that this is principal farmer households (that is farm owners or tenant farmers), not farm workers (though some members - grown up children for example - of the household may be in that category).

When the world came apart, where were you?
So Rob's managed alienated Ian from Helen and now Kirstie's in the cross-hairs judging from tonight's comments. 
He won't stop until he's managed to turn all of Helen's friends and family from her.
Edit: er... like this if you hate what's Rob's doing. Bastard.

Either poor Helen is going to be too exhausted to take up the pampering day with Kirsty so Rob will cancel it for her (with interesting reactions from Pat and Kirsty?) - or Helen will actually go and have a heart to heart with Kirsty. But my money's on the former, probably after Ian has given her an unvarnished account of why he hasn't returned her messages.
Good package on PM. It's on Listen again at 48 minutes in. 29/12/2015, PM - BBC Radio 4

Agreed, I very much prefer positive Ruth than dreary Ruth.Well good for Ruth. For the first time in years, I rather liked her tonight

I'm still reeling from the shock of hearing Justin Elliott saying 'The goose was to die for.' How old is he, 20?

i haven't listened to it in weeks. if the traffic's bad i'll catch tonight's episode on the way home. i see from this thread though that the Helen/Rob story-line hasn't progressed AT ALL 
Ruth is back and happy because she has a plan for the farm. David obviously doesn't like the plan so she could still dump him and leave.
Grundy's are happy at Grange Farm but they will probably cock up their short stay by filling the place with livestock. Or something...
I'm guessing
