RT Review by David Crawford

Lynda declares war on Lawrence (Rupert Vansittart) and vows to make him
pay for his attitude towards Chelsea and Zainab, but Lawrence stumbles
upon some dirt of his own that could have lasting consequences. Chelsea celebrates her 21st birthday, but Amber drops a bombshell that surprises
her and may risk their newly mended relationship.

Tom insists that things must change at Bridge Farm, forcing Adam into a
big decision, while Stella mulls over the offer of a great opportunity.

a huge improvement.

How *old* is George? And Amber come to that. And does she actually have
an income to support them both? George isnrCOt going to be picking up prime jobs with his history now : donrCOt see anyone employing him outside the
family - the village is still divided over him as is his nearest and
dearest. Where does she think theyrCOll live for a start? HasnrCOt she worked out how few empty homes there are to rent? Or even a bedsit? Wonder where
she lived as a secondary school too big for her boots teenager?

She has full time employment at the Farm Supplies (Borchester) place

Well Will has no proper job since he shot out the ceiling but seems to survive. Eddie has had the market a day or two a week but no longer

George has rooms at Grange Farm, Little Grange and No 1 which George
expects to inherit I am sure. Take your pick. Plus the flat she has
over the garage which she appeared to abandon with a couple of suitcases.

HasnrCOt she worked

Her vast following will enable her to get Home Farm to live in for free.

Or even a bedsit?

I am sure that will not match her online lifestyle.

With her parents who do not understand her (or understand her just too

Many people at 20 or 21 have a lot more nouse than they have. George seems
to be turning into a 21st century Alf with a few Horobin genes. Amber is
just a spoilt not yet grown up 20 year old airhead groomed by someone on

I am not at all sure that Amber has been groomed by anyone. Influencers
exist and Amber has worked very hard at it, if nothing else she would
appear to have embraced an ethic to work hard - but it is in a way that
an older generation perhaps does not recognise.

She says herself that on leaving school she re-invented herself - that
takes a lot of willpower.

George is the son of Will and Emma if I remember correctly.

Will is 50% Grundy and 50% Larkin and Emma is 50% Horrobin and 50%
Carter. We know that the Grundies are not always law abiding and most
of the Horrobins seem to be prison inmates at one time or another so the Larkin and Carter genes are probably outvoted at every opportunity.

She sounds like a 20 year old going on 30. Probably a very good
description of rCyinfluencersrCO. I sort of follow several young visually impaired influencers : one influences make up and how to use it, the others rabbit on about how they manage to do anything and everything despite being totally blind or with a bit of sight. Not people with the sort of sight
levels I still have (thanks to the wonderful invention of specs! :).

ChelsearCOs not an airhead, too much Carter in her for that thankfully, but Amber makes me imagine she is. Not that IrCOve knowingly ever met one.

Precisely the sort of people who make me wonder why on earth "Disabled"
became an acceptable term in place of "Handicapped."

I, myself, am now *handicapped* by a condition which makes it very
difficult for me to walk, do some household chores etc. I have a
mobility scooter and qualified for a Blue Badge. I am definitely not disabled.

Passed? Where is what I want to ask.

IrCOm noticing people in their 80s who I thought were immune to on line speak (they donrCOt use social media) are using it as well. USians again methinks.

*dis*abled being the opposite word to able I think. When the likes of
Peter White do it, one thinks there must be a policy somewhere.

AI says this.

rCLThe term "handicapped" refers to a disadvantage experienced by a person
due to a physical or mental impairment that hinders their normal day-to-day functioning. While the word was once used to describe someone with a disability, it is now considered outdated and potentially offensive, and
the preferred term is "disabled". The term "handicap" carries connotations
of a burden or an individual problem, rather than focusing on societal barriersrCY. Where does that leave the golfing rCyhandicaprCO, one muses.

Or "was taken from us", or "left us", or many such euphemisms (or worse,
that imply something). I'll join you in the haunting!>>

I got a Desmond - but I think that was more acceptable in about 1982;
nowadays, it seems only firsts are, like As at A level (I don't remember
"Ay star" ever being mentioned).I've heard it suggested that, in the
same way a four-minute mile would hardly raise an eyebrow nowadays, that intellectual power (or whatever) is also improving with time; my jury is
still out on that.

I must say "person with a disability" is more acceptable to me because
it is accurate.

I absolutely do not see why "handicapped" does not focus on societal
barriers because that is exactly what the word means - the way the world
is puts more or less of a handicap on a person, just as a horse in a
Handicap Race has to carry more weight and a golfer who is more skilled carried a handicap to make him/her more equal to others in the game.

Yes. UK university B.Sc. or B. A. degrees are either first, second, or
third class with honours, or just a pass. But so many people were coming
in the "second" section that it was further divided into two-one and
two-two.

POI and I walked past the University of Bath's Virgil Building
yesterday, and I remarked that half the students probably think it's
named after the pilot of Thunderbird 2. She stiffly told me that they
would be far too young to have built a Blue Peter Tracy Island. Which
leaves me wondering which Virgil they do think it's named after.

Erme, wasn't Virgil Tracy named after Gus Grissom, the astronaut?

Does the school history curriculum still end with the Second World
War? If so, then combine that with the death of Latin in schools and
there seems precious little chance of a student stumbling upon a
Virgil in any shape or form.
