Template:29 November

29th November 1972: It was opening night at the Capricorn Club, Weatherfield's latest nightspot, and the brainchild of bookie and entrepreneur Benny Lewis. Various VIP's were invited, including Alderman Charlie Rogers and his candidate for the next Mayor of the borough, Alf Roberts, together with Mayor Alderman Chapman and his choice, Len Fairclough. The evening didn't quite go to plan when a Tipsy Woman objected as Rita Littlewood stroked her husband's hair when she sang Hey, Big Spender at their table and called her a "brass-faced bitch". Rita responded with a slap across the chops and a catfight broke out, watched by a gleeful Alf and Charlie who both realised that this exhibition had effectively scuttled Len's chances of being Mayor.
