Template:26 July

26th July 1989: Jack Duckworth never showed the greatest intelligence when he played away from home and none more so than when he took his fellow Rovers's worker Tina Fowler out for a meal after pestering her for some time. Vera was an expert at following the trail of clues he left behind when she suspected him and provoked him into admitting who his date had been. She then confronted Tina in the Rovers and when an almighty row broke out Alec Gilroy stepped in to sort matters out...and promptly received a drink in the face meant for Tina. Vera was instantly barred and dragged Jack home to give him more grief. She broke down in tears and Jack, for once, saw the damage that his philandering caused.
