Elizabeth: “We’ve got this game to keep the kids entertained?” Pip: “Great!” #TheArchers #ThatsNotMyChutney
The box of the classic Milton Bradley game ‘Guess Who?’, except all the tiles are jars of chutney instead of people, and the player image is Carol Tregorran saying “I know! It’s plum and apple!”. Instead of MB Games, it is produced by ‘BBC Games’, and the age range is listed as ‘Ages 56 and up’. It is described as ‘The mystery condiment game’, and entitled ‘That’s Not My Chutney!’ instead of ‘Guess Who?’ The example question on the box is: ‘Is your chutney stolen? Yes.’. 

From a controversial 2016 storyline and tweetalong where Carol and Jill get into a chutney-based dispute over Jill ‘accidentally’ passing Carol’s chutney off as her own at the Flower and Produce Show. The immortal line, “Ooh! That's not my chutney!” was uttered by Jill Archer.

Pete there is a war going on in the middle east right now. You might have heard about it. You could literally go right now instead of doing whatever this is.

We have a hyper active girl in our tent called Gina. The first night she stopped talking at 2.00am. The second night 1.30am and she wakes you up at 5.00am. So I'm tired.

Nigel Farage wants to end "Something for Nothing Britain". Ironic that he is absolutely adamant that the £5m from Harborne was something for nothing.

The Act of Remembrance was purely for Carol to surface and say out loud what she’d done when married to John. Richard was a sideshow and too dead to grant forgiveness. Sounded massively self indulgent to me. #TheArchers
