Fred is put on a waiting list of twenty-five and is told the brewery are looking for a younger man. All of Stan's customers want to buy poles, saying they can do their own windows with it. He demands his money back from Eddie. Maurice Dodds takes Mavis painting on the canal bank. He gets her to appreciate the beauty of the Northern landscape.
