Whilst contributing to another message board, from out of the blue, I thought of the canning factory.
Is it still open? At one time, it provided regular employment for people such as the Horrobins, or Meadow Rise inhabitants. Didn't Sir Sidney whatsit own it?
Why does this important Borsetshire institution no longer feature in Ambridge chatter?
To be fair it was always a bit marginal.
I assume that it still exists.
Knowing the late Sir Sidney, as we do, he probably now employs illegal immigrants for a fiver a day. So no more work for Horobins or Meadow Rise residents.

Sorry - does Sir S now rule his empire from beyond the grave?

Yes, it's still part of the Goodman empire (still being wrangled over by the relations, I suspect).
Funny yo ushould say it was always a bot marginal. For it was in the Brookers Wood constituency (that included the canning factory and the pub the Tin of Peaches) that Mark Hebeden stood for election as an SDP councillor.
It must have been a marginal constituency then.

He didn't just stand for election, he was elected.
Despite the fact that his OH (the lovely Shula) was a staunch Conservative.
Seems she had about as much in common with her first hubbie as her second.

Apart from being insufferably smug and boring of course.
The SDP gosh I remember those! Bit like the Lyons Corner Shop and Frank Bough on the telly.
