It's a great fish out of water scene, and probably also typifies Brits' resistance to the very idea of self-service. Speaking of the village shop,  Daphne Oxenford has been great fun as the haughty shopkeeper. There was a great scene where she was weighing out fruit for Audrey and kept saying "Just over. OK?" The entire cost came to several pennies over the nearest pound and since neither had any change, Audrey handed her notes to Mrs Patterson and pointedly said "Just under. OK?" before flouncing off. In other news, Brabinger has now returned, looking somewhat frailer but still carrying on regardless. Which means Ned and his squeaky footwear have been relegated to the great outdoors again.</blockquote>
