PlotEdit

Stan gives Hilda permission to go to the dance classes at the Community Centre. The shop is named "The Kabin" and opened. Glyn Thomas wants Bet or Betty to be his cook whilst he's at the Rovers. Betty agrees to be Ernie's dance partner with Emily away. Mavis goes for the interview at The Kabin, but her bottle goes and she runs out. Muriel Chaplin starts the dancing lessons. Hilda, Ted and Ernie are the only ones interested. Glyn refuses to look on Betty as senior barmaid. Rita tells Jerry the job's Mavis's if she wants it. Rita is puzzled by a number of men asking for the Pig Producers Monthly.
