Plot
Eddie wants to advertise in The Kabin window for a girlfriend but Rita refuses to let him. Derek discovers people are talking about him and Mavis setting up house together. Suzie doesn't know where she stands with Mike as he didn't try anything after their meal. Fred refuses to serve Elsie. She realises that her flirtation with Len is getting out of hand. Suzie is triumphant when Mike asks her out again. She refuses a romantic meal and says she wants to go to a disco. Derek tells Mavis he's being moved to another area and will need his money; he can't buy the house. She accuses him of backing out on her and tells him to leave her alone. Len tells Fred to keep out of his business. Fred tells him that he should treat Rita with more respect.
