Template:6 July

6th July 1990: Newly promoted Bettabuys assistant manager Curly Watts was overwhelmed with a sense of responsibility when he was tasked by his boss Reg Holdsworth with putting into practice his idea of running a free bus service to bring customers to the supermarket. As part of the tasks he had to conduct, Curly also planned the routes the bus would take and decided these would include his own stomping ground of Coronation Street itself. Not best pleased by this was corner shop owner Alf Roberts who saw his own customers enticed from his very doorstop to go to the hated competition. Alf confronted the cowardly Reg who claimed in a panic that the idea had been Curly’s from the outset. The excuse didn’t placate Alf and a few days later he evicted his tenant from his corner shop flat - Mr Reg Holdsworth himself.
