14 April 1998

Neil’s still not told Susan. He’s even dressed to go to the office, he claims an early local appointment, but really goes to Brookfield where Phil can’t offer him any work with the pigs. Good news though. Yesterday, Tommy had gone to see Peggy who had agreed to lend him £1000 to buy a boar and he and Hayley offer to lend it to Neil so that he can supply them – he’s delighted.
Brian talks a reluctant Debbie into telling Sammy about his redundancy – a task she hated. She wonders why she can’t have some nice jobs, like telling Greg Turner that he’s acceptable and can start as the new gamekeeper in a fortnight.
Daniel’s no better, the latest is that he has an enlarged spleen, and needs further tests to rule out leukaemia for sure.
Jennifer offers to handle some complaints over scruffy vans in the business units (friends of Kate, helping with the flower protection). These turn out to be friends of Kate’s and, unwilling to see Kate in the tent in the field on Lynda’s vigil, Jennifer substitutes just as Brian appears. He’s shocked and she fails to explain herself, although later to confides to Debbie that she did enjoy seeing his expression when he saw here there!
