  • Elsie is in a bad mood about Ena and takes it out on Dennis. Elsie knows that Ena will have something up her sleeve and determines to get in first. She's thrown when Ena is friendly to her and disarms her. Elsie nevertheless gives her a list of repairs she wants doing to No.11. Hilda is furious when Stan fills the house with paper. Albert gets the name of a paper merchant that Stan can do business with. Irma is still off with Stan for the way he treated David. Emily hands out leaflets for the Gamma Garments January sale and drops hints that Swindley has a great gimmick up his sleeve. Charlie sees in the paper that Len is advertising for a live-in housekeeper/cook. Annie approves while Minnie rushes to tell Ena. The menfolk take the mickey out of Len when he turns up in the Rovers, doubting his true motives. Minnie worries that Ena will make her spy on Len to make sure that nothing untoward is happening. Charlie, Hilda and Albert wait for the results of Stan's visit to the paper merchant. They find he was only offered £5 a ton instead of the market price of £7. Len and Lucille prepare his house for the housekeeper interviews. Mrs Ainsworth, one of Len's applicants, asks directions to Mawdsley Street from Ena who invites her into the Vestry for a chat. Dennis shows a shocked Elsie the advert. She's about to go round and stop him making a fool of himself but changes her mind and decides to leave well alone. Charlie, Albert and Stan come round to help Len "judge" his applicants but he throws them out. Hilda throws all the paper into the back yard. Irma is at a loose end with nothing to do on her night off. Dennis makes a bet with her to force her to apply to Len for the post of housekeeper. Mrs Ainsworth gets annoyed at Ena's intensive questioning. Ena tells her she'll tell her all about Len. She later tells the regulars that she's saved Len a great deal of trouble, as he'll be finding out about now, and he'll later thank her for it but she won't reveal exactly what she's said or done to anyone.
