Warehouse storeman Bob Skelton fancies Irma. She pretends to be French to kid him. Annie refuses to speak to Billy about her holiday with Dewhurst. Ena sends Minnie out for three milk stouts while she tells Hetty tales of vandals and the roughness of the area. Harold calls on Annie and they laugh about the way they both fell for others on the cruise, she for an “educated rogue” called Mr Chambers and he for Mrs Stanley, a fish shop woman from Accrington. He gives Annie some holiday snaps. Billy finds them. Annie is furious to see him leafing through them. Billy thinks Harold upset her and threatens to sort him out. Hetty turns down the job, saying her sister is poorly. Alf worries what Ena would say if she knew she was second choice. Bob tells fellow storeman Keith Mason about the French girl in the Corner Shop. He goes in there himself and this time she pretends to be from Belfast. Alf and Ernie call on Ena and offer her the job. She gets an admission from them that she wasn’t first choice, nevertheless she takes it after making them wriggle for a while. Harold turns up at the Rovers with a woman. Billy sends Annie in the back and then throws Harold and the woman out. He tells Annie she won’t be bothered again.
