Sunil and James are shocked to learn that Chris has actually submitted his leeks for appraisal by an independent adjudicator. They listen with a mix of jealousy and awe as Chris tells a tale triumph against adversity for the ages. It’s basically a Hollywood film where a working class outsider is the hero.

We’re performing a Rural Concerns live show in Manchester (UK) on 22nd November 2025! It’s going to be a heady mix of slander, skits and choice-based adventure gaming! Grab your tickets here.
Do you have a Rural Concern of your own? Email the lads and we’ll discuss it on an upcoming podcast! Fire what’s inside your head to christopher@alovelytime.co.uk! Also, please let us know if you’d be interested in growing award-placing leeks where you live.
