Hi
In yesterday's episode Sid mentioned a lad named Matthew, can anyone please explain who this is? And when was the last time he was mentioned as I can't recall him at all and have been listening for well over a year? Am I not listening closely?
F
Matthew is Matthew Gemmell, his grandson. Sid has a daughter, Lucy - married to Duncan - who lives in New Zealand. She is his daughter by his first wife Polly.
Lucy married in 1994 and has lived in NZ ever since and not visited Ambridge. A trip over to see her father and her half-brother, Jamie, who she's never met, is well overdue!
Matthew is Sid's grandson - offspring of Lucy and Duncan Gemmell, who live in Australia. Sid and Jolene went to see him, and Lucy was her usual, charming self to Jolene.
Glad, of course it was NZ, silly me.
Jamie was conceived on a beach in Thailand on the way back, wasn't he?
You are going to curse me Rosie, but wasn't it Tahiti?!
So Sid has been married three times, Lucy's Mum, sorry did you say Polly, Kathy adn now Jolene?
F
Yes, three times. Polly was killed in a car accident in 1982. He married Kathy in 1987 and they divorced because of his adultery with Jolene in 2000.
Oh thank you Glad, you have also answered my next question, about waht happened to Polly.

My geography is hopeless (that and my mapreading. It has become masked since I got mike the Satnav for his birthday) .[huridly scraping around for ontopic note: Do you think Sid has Sat Nav? I know Shula's new car has.

Rosie, surely this was when Sid and Kathy went to Lucy's wedding? (Jamie is Kathy's son, of course)
My notes say that Matthew Ryan Gemmill was born on 14th February 2003, so Thursday's call would have been for his birthday.

well, yes, I knew that was what I meant about Jamie, my fingers ran away with me (unlike everyone else, I don't have clever fingers that run away by themsselves!) and I meant to put the bit about Kathy and Sid went to NZ to see Lucy(wedding) and she was equally foul to Kathy, an Jamie was conceived on a beach (somewhere on the way back), but I shorted out, sorry.
Do you remember Lucy was clever enough to cheat the fruit machine at The Bull, and won so often that Sid got rid of it?
[or was that the Goat and Nightgown in Borchester?]

All I can remember about Lucy was that she thought the Creaky Inn Sign was the ghost of her mother, or something.
