Yes, if only other fundraisers were as good, there wouldn’t be a roofless church in the land, and food poverty would be at an end.
I’m all for giving older women more positive roles, but Audrey going back to work is ridiculous. She’s a borderline alcoholic 82 year old, and there’s a barber’s just around the corner

I’d like to see more storylines for the ‘oldies’. They can be a bit farcical when Rula Lenska is in it, but Stillwaters offered scope for some different stories and a change of scenery. It was a shame when Covid put paid to that. An old folks’ home or retirement flats would be a good idea, I think. A few of them are getting a bit doddery, and it would provide employment outside of catering, hairdressing and the factory for younger residents. Older people’s issues are very much on the agenda too, in an ageing society.
