PlotEdit

Bert guesses that Ivy has given Brian their holiday money. He is furious; they need a holiday. Bet befriends neighbour Keith Sadler. Stan refuses to drink in the Rovers when Annie puts the prices up and instead he goes to the British Legion. Vera looks forward to holidaying in Benidorm. She is furious when the Tilsleys back out as she's a deposit on an apartment for four. Brian pays the deposit on the house. Stan pins the Labour Club's bar price list on the Rovers' wall so everyone can see how more expensive the Rovers is. Annie is furious and bars Stan from the pub. Albert demands to know why the prices are higher but Annie fobs him off. Hilda is furious that Annie has barred Stan for freedom of speech and tells Stan that she's declared war on her.
