Emmerdale

And I thought 'Enders was bad...

For those who aren't addicted, I'll recap. A hurricane has hit Emmerdale, wreaking havoc (particularly on those characters who have run out of storylines). Poor Trisha is lying under a chimney stack but the emergency services can't get through because the bridge is buggered.

Realistic storyline 1: Trisha was reading a love letter from husband Marlon. No one realised she was under the chimney stack until Marlon found the note. Lying on the ground. In the hurricane.

Realistic storyline 2: The paramedic tending to Trisha can't wait for the ambulance to get through the buggered bridge. So he is calling for the helicopter. In the hurricane.

What were the paramedics driving and what do you think their chances of recovering that car stuck in the mud were?

Is this a game anybody can play?

A hovercraft. Or possibly a Kangoo Trekka.

They'll simply lift it out with the helicopter.

The best bit is that I can ruin it for the woman who makes me watch it by continually pointing out the many technical sillinesses. Apparently I'm not getting any tea tonight!

The police turned up in a Discovery, ambulance crews turned upin one of the regular 'units' (as said by one of them, know a few ambulance crew and they have never referred to them as units, that useless pile of.... normally)

Considering every job I have been on with RAF SaR, no ambulance has ever been able to talk direct to the Sea King, so I don't know how the fella dealing with the girl with the chimney pot hat knew for certain that it was off to land in a field. Lucky guess?

Can you pop round and tell my missus that? As I'm not getting any sex I'd love to see a bit of violence....

NOOOOOOOOOO! Don't spoil the illusion! Emerdale is real! There really is a village with all those people in it - my mum told me - so it must be real!

I have actually been to the real Woolpack, although I don't believe that they have used it for years.

And Seth Armstrong regularly plays piano in the Grey Horse, which is a quarter of a mile from here and my brother-in-law's local.

See, I AM famous...

A Kangoo Trekka - is that like a Regatta Windproof?

Sadly I actually saw this and thought, through all the camera work that the original emergency service (police) did turn up in an Land Rover of some ilk. As the car was bogged down in the wet stuff (missus says a river) I was wondering whether there was a reason there people are driving 4x4's and could possible have got it out.

Of course if, like Northern Consabulary they had a Kangoo Trekka then no bridge , flood or stuck fiesta would have stopped them, :-)
