PlotEdit

Phyllis tells everyone Percy and she were having such a good time they missed the coach from Southport. Percy tells them that Phyllis followed him all day. He went for a paddle but she pinched his shoes and socks, causing them to miss the coach. Bet takes back charge of the Rovers. Vera tells Jack he'll lose his window round. He tells her that he's trying to make something of his life in the pub trade but she's holding him back. Terry and Curly go into house clearances. Audrey enjoys having Alf spending money on her. Bet tells Jack that she doesn't want him permanently at the Rovers; he's a good customer. George tells a shocked Ivy that they can't marry in church because he's divorced and his wife is still alive. She says in her eyes he's still a married man.
