I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background systems and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.
You're listening to The Archer's Omnibus from BBC Radio 4.
Ah, Oliver. I was going to call up to Grange Farm to speak to you later, but you've saved me a trip. Sorry, Brown, I'm rather busy. We're short-staffed and we've had a number of VIP guests booking last minute. Don't worry, what I have to say won't take long. Oh, hello, Dad. Oliver, I'm taking these down to the spa. They're running low. Thank you. But do housekeeping have enough towels for the rooms? No, but Lily's on it. See you later, Dad. Hold on, Kate. What on earth are you doing? Working. Are you joking? No, Dad, I'm not. I work here. Then why would you take a job at Grey Gables? Why not? We like to think we look after our staff well, and there are some great perks to being part of our team. I'm not interested in your staff well-being policies, Oliver.
I'm curious to why my daughter is working here when she has a perfectly good business of her own. Oh, Oliver, I meant to say they're also short of shampoo for the showers. OK. Well, when you've delivered the towels, find Brad and get him to show you where the refills of shower gel and shampoo are kept. No problem. Are you going to let him order you around like that? Yes, I was, because as my boss, he's perfectly within his rights to ask me to complete a simple task. What's going on, Kate? Dad, I can't talk to you here, but... I could come and join you in the lounge when I get my break, if that's OK, Oliver. Of course. Dad? Yes, all right. In about half an hour. What is she up to? There was some kind of rebellion designed to unsettle me.
You know, she's a great worker. Half a shift, and I've already seen what an asset she'll be. Marvellous. Just wish she'd warned me she had a burning desire to be a chambermaid. We tend to say housekeeping these days, Brown. Enjoy your coffee. Oliver, hold on. How's Miranda? Have you seen much of her lately? Sorry, can't stop. I'm late for a meeting.
I thought Chris was going to be caught out. Yeah. Are you up next? Oh, I think so. I don't know why I'm so nervous.
It's only supposed to be a bit of fun. Well, you're an old drink. You're genetically programmed to want to win. You make it sound like sociopaths. I'm saying nothing.
I hope the black pie can't as good at batting as they are at fielding. Well, I've heard they're pretty good.
You know, the main reason I signed up to play was to be a good role model for Martha, and she's not even here to see me. She stuck it out for five minutes before disappearing off to the playground with Susan and Neil. I mean, the pirate spy turret is a head-turner. Yeah, much more appealing than supporting a poor old mum and dad. Oh, gosh, I must get something posted off to my dad tomorrow. It's only a week until Father's Day. Oh, I know. I've been avoiding working out what's best for everyone.
I mean, am I expected to spend the day with Chris and Martha? Because we have in the past, was it... Okay to just drop her off with him.
I would have thought so. Yeah, but then am I just landing all the hard work on him when he's supposed to have an indulgent, relaxing day? I see what you mean. Martha isn't going to make him breakfast in bed by herself. And then there's my dad. Do we put on a big jolly act just for the day? Pretend he hasn't practically disowned Adam and Debbie. I don't know, Alice. Sounds complicated. Oh, there's complicated. And then there's my dad. Oh, honestly, I think you've got the right idea, Kirsty. Find a great bloke like Eric who demands very little, except that you fly off and meet him in gorgeous European cities every couple of months. Yeah, my own complicated life with Eric. Oh, oh, is that Rex out? Yep, you're in, Alice.
