Episode 951 (4th February 1970)

PlotEdit

Emily tries to sneak a look at the tender in the yard when she asks Audrey if she can use the phone. Len happily tells her that the sum is £12,300. Hilda phones the bakery anonymously and tells them Stan is not doing his job. Elsie is annoyed that Val is entertaining Alan to meals. Emily tells Willie Piggott about the tender. Alan demands the best treatment when Annie calls at the Salon. Sandra is petrified and insults Annie when she offers her a reduced rate for pensioners. Audrey and Sandra make up. Stan is suspended for one night from the bakery. Emily agrees to be Ernie's partner. She is stunned when Len tells her that he has been able to lower his tender to £11,700 after having bought a load of bankrupt stock supplies.
