Plot[]
Dave Smith takes Minnie to Blackpool for her birthday. Ena warns him not to let her gamble. Lucille walks out of a job at the shop as Maggie doesn't pay enough. Annie is worried that she's too lazy to work. Hilda organises a tea party at No.13 to show off the new serving hatch but only Ena shows up. Minnie visits the bingo parlour, to Dave's embarrassment, and wins a tea set. Minnie and Dave paddle in the sea and see Ken with Peter, Susan, and a young woman - Yvonne Chappell.
