Miss Babs: “Mrs O, Mr George has applied for a job selling antiques, as part of our socially aware ex-con rehab programme. Can you tell him where to go?”
Mrs Overall: “Oh, I am pleased!” #AmbridgeAntiques #TheArchers

Mrs Overall, wearing a tabard as usual, carries a tea tray with a mug and a ‘Sorry, No Vacancies’ sign on it. She looks very pleased.
