... Mr K (or anyone else), please:
Last year Maurice Horton manned the Gourmet Grills van in the absence either of Tom or Brenda - & he came out with a great witticism about hippies.
It has been suggested this was sometime July-Sep 2007, but from thread titles alone I can find no useful references in DtA, and nothing I have seen in the ML or Lowfield synopses refers to it.
The closest I can get is the August bank holiday, possibly covering for Brenda at the Darrington Fair.
So, does anyone know when exactly MH featured, please - and even better, what his comment was?
Many thanks,
MG

Part of my reply in DTA: Rosie has just told me that Maurice's hippy remark was reported speech which would mean that the actor didn't appear.

No he didn't (WHY NOT!?)
His remark was in reply to Robert who wanted a wholemeal roll for his burger and went along the lines of Maurice was running a burger van at the village fete not some veggie-wagon for hippies at Glastonbury.
Except it was a damn sight pithier and more scathing than that.

Ahhh the sorsages yes, I'm trying to recall what happened with them to cause such an outcry. I have a feeling something happened with the pig tonic at about the same time, can someone remind me please?

Funnily enough I was talking to my friend about festivals and food vans generally and she said that a food van in the countryside might be shut down as the food may carry foot and mouth disease and the wheels may spead it around too if it's one of those set ups. She said that you might feed animals with anti foot and mouth drugs and maybe I was thinking that pig tonic was mentioned in the context of the 'sarsages' because they would have put anti foot and mouth drugs in the pig tonic to give to the pigs to stop them from getting ill and speading their disease into the human food chain. Is this possible?

Ah yes, as I put in another post, my friend thinks that they put anti foot and mouth drugs in some pig tonic so that the 'sarsage' meat wouldn't cause the disease to get into the human food chain although I'm not sure that that was what the original problem with Tom's 'sarsages' was about. Can anyone tell me what it was?

It was a lovely scene, very "Godfather", complete with "we're family now." No doubt they embraced. Presumably now that Matt and Lilian have split, Brian's people will be on their way to leave a horse's head in Matt's bed (appropriate)... and Matt's lot will wipe Brian out on the steps of St Stephen's (even better...)
