When Blake first spoke this evening, I thought I heard a slight Welsh
accent but - after a few seconds this seem to disappear; later, in the
second hospital scene, I thought I detected a slight Afro Caribbean twang.
Either way, I think, from the context, we can assume that Teflon Phillip is
‘employing’ drug addict down and outs, underpaying them and probably
fleecing them for their board and lodging. The ‘workers’ live in fear and
Teflon distances himself and even gets Gavin to not feed them properly.

I suddenly find that I dislike Philip even more than I dislike his son.

What is it with these SWs that so few of the characters are allowed to
live normal lives?

TPTB are unbalanced. It is easy to think up ways of people
"misbehaving" because it provides conflict and discussion which drives
plots.

Thinking up positive activities which drive calmness and warmth are
under-rated and I suspect more complex to obtain buy-in from authority -
who doesn't like a bit of ancient child abuse, chemical waste / abuse,
gang masters, petrol explosions above a cow being ill or a horse / dog
being overweight?

I posted last night on some other thread that this is a similarly
nasty story to the Rob one when I stopped listening and am inclined to
stop again. There are too many negative story lines now. Ed, no work,
Eddie loses jobs to Philip, Lynda, Roy, Freddie's recent stuff, Josh,
Elizabeth recently, RUss still there and Natasha still there. Hannah
nasty to Neil.

I want farming stories and family and flower and produce show and
pleasant interaction. The level of nastiness makes me wonder if the
programme planners have serious personal issues.

It's a bit too clever perhaps, but it's possible Blake (is he really
only seven?) picked up a bit of Taffophonie from Phillip.

Indeed, one over the eight, as my mother once explained (I remained baffled
for some years).

Yes but 8 and 9 were pissheads.
