PlotEdit

Ivy tells Bert to go to Holland; she realises how much he needs a job. Fred throws pie crust onto the dustcart so that birds perch on it and dirty it. As a result, Eddie has to clean it again. Deirdre is cool towards Ken for not seeing her. He realises that Albert never gave him the message. Bert is offered a three-month contract as a fitter in Holland but tells Ivy that he hasn't got a job as he doesn't want to leave her. She is delighted he's staying. Stan buys Hilda a pendant for her birthday. She is touched. Ken tells Albert to stop interfering in his life. Elsie tells Len about her troubles with cafe assistant Lorraine Tindall. The dustcart wins first prize. Annie books a winter cruise with Olive Taylor-Brown. Ken cooks Deirdre a meal and they agree to see more of each other; starting with another night out. Annie tells Alf that she doesn't trust her staff and has arranged for a manager to take over the pub.
