2008 -
JUNE 23
So Liam has said farewell to the factory,
forced to sell to Tony for more than £50k under the fair
value. He said his goodbyes to the staff who realised that
they were losing good cop and getting - much much worse - a
second bad cop. Tony was almost instantly on Janice's case and
if they thought Carla was bad, then they had better watch
out.
House moving does not go well - ask Claire and Sally.
Claire had Kirk helping - gives him instructions on where to
take the boxes and he picks up a bedroom one and heads upstairs,
completely forgetting to cross the Street into the new house
first! Then Claire finds out from her
solicitor that the money
has not arrived. So both sides stop work and the men involved
start playing football. Eventually the money arrives and the
exchange gets back into its stride. Sal however decides to
remove the bulbs and - get this - the light fittings, having
remembered to turn the power off first at the mains. Ashley gets a
huge surprise when he turns the power back on - the fuse box
goes bang, shower of sparks and the system is completely
fused, the electrics are so old that the house needs
re-wiring. And the Peacocks are homeless. Kev cannot stand by and
invites them all to live with him - so they all end up living
in the Websters new house.
If I have to write about Jerry and
Theresa I shall probably get annoyed, never mind. Despite huge
antagonism from Mel Jerry relents and does not force Theresa
to go. No doubt she will grow on me - not many other female
characters in the Street can down a pint in one like her (indeed
I am not sure many of the men can either).
With Steve
away in Spain Michelle can turn her attention to working out
what really happened when Steve disappeared for the night. She
and Carla go to work on Lloyd as they try to determine what
happened. Michelle goes and sits in Lloyd's cab as he is
carrying passengers and between fares she cross questions
every single word he utters. He comes up with a good story -
that they went to a casino and Steve lost a lot of money -
about five thousand. They fail to buy the story particularly well,
especially as there is no evidence Steve had the cash and when he
denies it completely down the phone, so they decide that Steve must
have
slept with someone else.
Looking through the loft in
her new house Claire finds a picture which has a signature at the
bottom "L S Lowry" and she reckons that she is about to make a
fortune. Needless to say Claire believes that the fortune is theirs
and theirs alone. Ashley tends to the view that they should share
with the Websters. Of course whilst it is in the style of a
Lowry are we really sure that it is valuable?
Tony is not
only making his presence felt on the shop floor. he has some grand
plans for growing the business by merging his existing operation
into the one business all on one site. Of course the factory will
need extending and this might bring a few problems. Outside
Underworld they survey the surroundings - they will have to buy the
garage and the corner shop.
Did I previously mention that
David had a new job - turns out that the reference the new employers
received was unfamiliar to Audrey because when they phone she does
not recognise a word of it - well she recognises the words, but not
the order in which they arrive! Turns out that super fairy godmother
Ted had written a new reference (and signed it Audrey Roberts would
you believe) for David - making him nearly as a big a tea leaf as
his grandson! When Ted convinces Audrey to back up the reference
Tina believes a celebration is planned - a nice party. Super Fairy
Godmother (SFG) Ted demurs but eventually concedes that no harm can
come if a couple of old friends come round for the evening for a
quiet drink [yeah right, teenagers, alcohol, no adults - I think
most of us can predict the rest].
And in general terms that's
that for this week. If I am sober I will be back next week and if we
are lucky Glenda might pop in and tell us how her "special task" is
going.
Oh and for those who emailed last week many thanks,
nice to know these updates are appreciated.
Cheers until next
time.
