Template:25 October

25th October 1989: Curly Watts's life took a new direction as he started his new job as assistant manager (trainee) at Bettabuys, and met Reg Holdsworth and Kimberley Taylor for the first time. Curly had spent the last two years studying business at college and gained a HND but none of that would quite prepare him for the six years he would spend working alongside Reg, who would become his mentor and rival. Bettabuys would later employ several other Street residents, including Vera Duckworth, Ivy Brennan, Andy McDonald and Alma Baldwin.
