Subject: RE: BS: Obit Sid Perks, the Archers UK
I just have this vision in my head of the Archers' scriptwriter sitting in a Miss Marple cottage tapping away on a vintage typewriter, as the language used is so stilted and affected (especially where it's trying to be "trendy") that I can't imagine anyone who has a grasp of real life actually writing it. I'm a 61-year old grandfather and I don't know anyone who talks like that. I've also written a lot of scripts in my life, for a wide range of media, and find the Archer's scripts really irritating (although, at the same time, strangely compelling).

As to "supper" - not something we have oop north. It's "tea" unless we're having people round for dinner or going out to a restaurant.

I'll think about you enjoying your supper while I'm having my tea :)
