Jim’s attitude causes problems and Neil offers some words of advice

Susan’s worried about Neil. He’s lost a lot of sleep over the tail-biting incident. He can’t wait for their holiday to Lanzarote so that they can get away from it all. She wonders whether the extra money from his Berrow job is worth it if he isn’t happy. Neil meets Rex and tries to assuage his fears about taking his pigs to slaughter. Rex should see it as taking the pigs to the final stage of their journey. He empathises over how attached you can get, as pigs have such unique personalities. He offers Rex some practical tips for keeping the pigs comfortable.
Jim is taking all of his anger over Harold Jayston out on the builders. First they left a small tyre-track on his lawn, then they set up base in his shed and sat around drinking tea. Jazzer and Alistair suggest that Jim might want to exercise a little more diplomacy and tolerance. But Jim is adamant: it’s his house, and he makes the rules. If they don’t like it that's just too bad.
