I am irresistibly reminded of a twitter post by a friend of mine, a rather senior navy doctor, who happens to be a fan of Jodi's. She posted complaining that the army insisted on answering the phone by addressing everyone as sir, and pointing out that this was not acceptable. Some oik replied that if she was upset by the way someone answered the phone, she was in for a shock when the next war started. My awesome colleague replied "Thanks for worrying about me; I'll probably cope" and appended a picture of her extensive personal collection of service medals. Best putdown ever.
The whole telephone answering sequence just brought the entire joyous exchange back to my mind, for which I thank you.
Very satisfying. A pity Miss Fuller failed to include reciting the U. Thirsk Motto as part of the phone answering procedure. (Don't laugh. Not only have I seen it done, I've had to do it.) For myself, I live in hope of seeing the inventor of the Mission Statement and the Organizational Vision in the dock before some international tribunal--perhaps with Dr. Bairstow assisting in the prosecution?
As an actor I would assume that Ms Lingoss (or Peterson?) was wearing a skull cap under the wig and over her hair. The latter presumably in Thirsk's colours just in case. BTW what are Thirsk's colours.
Had to look up Mavity (well... So did Newton), and any day with a written reference to World Naked Gardening Day is obviously the best day of that week. Thank you Jodi, for the wonderful (all too brief) return to St. Mary's.
Brilliant. St Mary's at it's best. Did they start calling Miss Fuller Miss Miller instead, to confuse her even more 🙂
Fantastic and much appreciated thanks
Markham had to be thrilled that, for once, he was NOT the source of an infestation. :-D This was fabulous and much needed. Thank you!!!!!!

Brilliant, thank you! And mavity 🤣
I'm so thrilled someone picked up on mavity
That was brilliant, thank you Jodi, I always enjoy a Sykes/Lingoss bit of scheming.
Bit of a glitch in the matrix though - Miss Fuller changes her name towards the end to Miss Miller?
Thank you, that was brilliant. I needed a good laugh

So is St. Mary's behaviour licentious or nonlicentious? I do have a black scarf from my last employers with their name on it.
So typical of corp'rate 'heart'.
Did Kalinda have a part,
In the colour of Thirsk's scarf
Or is it just one colour - barf.
Poor Lingoss. I hope the mohican grows back soon. With no itches.
