"Tom Forrest" used to start the omnibus edition of the Archers with "It's been a (Funny, strange, distressing etc) week here in Ambridge" but the line suggested sounds more like Bernard Miles' old gardener character:
Vicar come up to me when I was a-workin' in the garden "Good mornin',Jarge," 'e says. "'Ent it a wonder what a beautiful sight the good Lord 'as med of yer garden".
"Yers, vicar," I sez, "But you should-a seen the almighty mess 'e med of it when 'e 'ad it all to 'isself."
