PlotEdit

Ivy isn't pleased that Don is a regular gambler. Kevin fills out a mortgage application for Weatherfield Building Society. He worries as the form asks if he's ever been refused a mortgage. Pensioner Harry Ashton applies for a paperboy's job at The Kabin. Don is owed money from a fellow gambler. As he doesn't have any money, Don takes a load of keep-fit stuff in lieu. Ivy lets him store it all at No.5. Curly takes Shirley out to the pictures to see Nightmare on Elm Street, 3. Kevin decides to talk to the Building Society and be honest with them.
