. "1242"^^ . . . "Rita worries that Alan is drinking too much and asks him why he never brings Elsie to the club. Ena refuses to allow a disco at the Community Centre for Christmas and tells Ernie that Albert has lost the centre\u2019s decorations. Ken won\u2019t tell Albert who he\u2019s going out with for the night. Albert refuses to take responsibility for losing the decorations and threatens to resign when Ernie orders him to find them. Stan refuses to take on Alf\u2019s windows, telling him he\u2019s retiring due to the high levels of tax he pays. Billy, Jerry and Ray are disgusted with Stan\u2019s attitude when they realise how many jobs Hilda has on. Elsie agrees to go with Bet and Norma to the Capricorn with Ken. Ena allows Alf to put up a notice about him being a councillor, guessing that he\u2019s pushing for himself to be made Mayor. Ernie tells Ena that Albert has resigned and she insists that she changes his mind as she can\u2019t cope on her own over the festive season. The ladies arrive at the club and Alan guesses that Elsie is there to keep an eye on him. Ken joins them. Billy and Alf decide to tell Hilda what Stan\u2019s up to. Lucille suggests a 1940s show in the Rovers for Christmas. The idea is enthusiastically agreed to. Bet tells Norma not to be so eager with Ken and he\u2019ll come to her. The advice works as Ken asks her to dance. Albert withdraws his resignation but won\u2019t commit to doing a monologue at the 1940s show. Ken agrees to go back with Norma after the club. Billy sends Lucille to Hilda with a story that he\u2019s found someone to buy Stan\u2019s round and she therefore finds out what he\u2019s planning."@en . "1972-12-06"^^ . . . .
