Your Borsetshire Person of the Year revealed!
As the 2018 New Year's Honours were announced, we couldn't help but notice that absolutely NO ONE from Ambridge had been recognised... not even Brian Aldridge or Molly Button 馃槻
So when Radio 4 Continuity Announcer Alan Smith decided to take action with an unofficial honour, we asked you who your Borsetshire Person of the Year is. So HERE IT IS. Your choice (plus the five runners-up and the best of the rest)...
馃弳 WELL WHO ELSE COULD IT POSSIBLY BE, DARLING!? 馃弳
And the 5 runners-up are...
1. Dream-lover Lexi 鉂わ笍
She's only been in Ambridge since June, but it seems that has had as big an impact on Archers listeners as she has on ...
2. Emma Grundy, Queen of the Glass Ceiling Breakers 鉁�
Her unquenchable ambition may mean family will taste nothing but economy beans for the duration of 2018, but it also sees her take third position in the poll...
"Probably Emma. Breaking the glass ceiling and all that." [Adam Melling-Smith on ]
Although others would award her a slightly less enviable accolade...
"Who can trample the hardest over the heads of people who stand in the way of them getting what they want? Mmm that prize would certainly go to Emma Grundy. She has that in shedloads." [Marguerite Turpin on ]
3. Tiger, Tiger burning bright 馃惎
, he saw (Lilian), he scarpered with a suitcase full of... well he said they were full of cardigans...
"Matt Crawford, he is a legend" (Lynne Thornton on )
4. Borsetshire Business Person of the Year, Brian Aldridge 馃帺
