Susan is fed up with the shop committee. If she's being ignored she might as well give up. Neil agrees. Susan thinks committees are just ego trips, though Neil says the parish council's not too bad. There isn't much chance of him being elected chair, with Lynda as opposition.

David brings some cows into market and Eddie helps, on his first day working there. Eddie tells David he's happy to help out on the farm. David says Eddie could work on the day of the funeral, if he doesn't mind missing it. Eddie says it'll be his way of paying his respects. They meet for tea in Eddie's break. Neil pops in too. Susan is coming to watch the vote later, but Neil's told her she'll be disappointed.

At the meeting, David announces Neil and Lynda as candidates. Votes are cast and Neil wins, much to his surprise. Neil chairs with a little help from David. Lynda raises the issue of graffiti. Neil's not sure what they can do. Lynda's rather pointed about the need for strong leadership.

After the meeting Susan proudly congratulates Neil, telling him the best thing about it was the look on Lynda's face. Talk about sucking lemons!
