Template:6 January

6th January 1975: Mavis Riley accepts a marriage proposal from Carlos, her Spanish boyfriend who she met only a few weeks ago when Carlos and his neighbour Bet Lynch played a trick on Mavis, with Carlos posing as Pedro, a man Mavis met in Majorca. Mavis fell for Carlos anyway and has been swept up in the excitement of the fast-moving relationship, much to the bemusement of Rita Littlewood, who is used to Mavis being overly cautious. Mavis is crushed however when Carlos reveals that he must marry within the month so that he can obtain a work permit. Mavis realises that this is his only motivation for marrying and decides to turn him down, unwilling to marry a man who doesn't love her.
