Fred's worried, I say, he's fair flustered to be having his books inspected
by th'Inland Revenue in the form of Yvonne (Claire's grumpy tax inspector
mum). As Yvonne works away at the back of the butcher's shop, in comes
Rita asking Fred for a nice piece of steak in exchange for his paper bill
at the Kabin. Fred has to cover himself and tells Yvonne he always settles
such bills with his own personal cash but Yvonne's not daft and keeps looking
for ways to nail Fred on his tax. She's somewhat disappointed therefore
to tell Fred she can only find an outstanding amount to be paid of twenty
four pounds and nine pence. Claire has her hen night in the Rovers
with champagne from Fred, nibbles and crisps, and now that Yvonne's failed
to award Fred the Delia Smith award for cooking the books, she begs Claire's
forgiveness and agrees to come to the wedding. By far the best bit
of this storyline this week was when Claire asked Fred to give her away at
the wedding, as she doesn't have a dad of her own. I fair nearly choked
on my mulled wine and mince pie.
Karen's furious when she finds out that Steve's bought baby Amy a Christmas
present: "You've started cheating on our baby!" she screams. Determined
not to be beaten by the Barlows, Karen demands a key to the car so she can
use it whenever she likes. Ken sees Karen has a point and gives her Tracy's
spare key. Karen then takes the car off to the garage and delivers
it back to the Barlows with one of them stickers across the windscreen, the
type no-one has seen since 1976,
that reads: "Steve and Karen" - just in case anyone should forget who
he's married to - especially Steve.
Maria borrows £200 from Audrey to repay Tyrone and get out of his
debt. She's knows whatever's going on between her and Tyrone means much
more to him than it does to her and she doesn't want any reason to be in
debt to him for longer than she needs. But feeling sorry for him, she
offers to cook Tyrone a meal at the flat and plays things cool. However,
Dave the Geordie turns up to repay Maria the money he took and there's a
bit of an argument between the three of them about who's going out with who,
for how long and what for. And Tyrone ends up staying the night as
Dave leaves. Next morning Tyrone's full of the joys of spring and Maria's
full of regret and mixed feelings. Meanwhile flatmate Liz is full of
maternal advice for Maria - who could do worse than listen to Mrs "been there,
done that, bought the D-cup-plunge-ceaveage-push-up-drop-down-backless-frontless-quick-release
t-shirt" McDonald.
Sally starts work at the Davenport's garage and heads off in her car wearing
her posh suit and holier-than-thou smirk. Which is a shame really,
she used to be good but now she's just mad.
Shelley arranges to meet mum Bev for lunch but daren't tell Charlie what
she's up to in case he forbids her to go. She comes up with some story
about a brewery do but Charlie calls Newton & Ridley and finds out there's
nothing on that Shelley could be attending. When she comes back from
lunch, Charlie has a go at Shelley who agrees with his request not to see
her mum any more. His controlling behaviour is worrying Shelley but she goes
along with him, too weak to argue, too stupid to know what to do.
Roy hides coins in his figgy pudding that's for sale in the cafe and as
the punters much through the pudding, if they find a coin they win a prize.
Les buys up the remaining 15 puddings at 75p each and aims to win the top
prize of twenty five quid. So that's 15 puddings x seventy five pee,
carry the one, think of a potato, do some algebra and he still doesn't win.
Betty walks in and asks Roy for the pudding Hayley had put in the fridge
for her earlier, 'tis the winner of course.
And that's just about that for this week.
