After listening to last night's episode of The Archers there is only thing to say:

“OOoohh NOooo!”

Oh, I'm far to young to remember Soph, she said hastily, I'm just going onwhat my mother told me...

I'm (rather worryingly) not too young to remember her first time round and fear your mother might have slightly misled you, in that Sophie's refusal to consummate the relationship wasn't anything to do with moral scruples but because she had some kind of problem with the idea of sex at all. There was a conversation in which David accused her of acting like a frightened sheep whenever he came near her and she tearfully confessed that with a previous boyfriend they had "tried to be like all the other couples but never really could..." The mind boggles but it did leave them with unfinished business.

I was sure I had it on cassette somewhere but despite having spent the evening listening to a 1986 Sophie revealing Brian's affair with Caroline to Jennifer, haven't tracked that bit down yet.

That does make more sense - don't blame my mother, i expect I picked her up wrong...

Begging the question

of how David knows how frightened sheep react when he comes near them with nookie in mind.
