Template:23 March

23rd March 1990: Percy Sugden officially became the world's worst patient when he broke his ankle, slipping on the contents of Phyllis Pearce's shopping. After a few days complaining in hospital, he ended up in a wheelchair and decided that the world wasn't designed for someone in his predicament. Back on the street, he kept copious notes about the pitfalls for wheelchair users in the area with the intention of sending them off to people in authority to correct. One person he came into conflict with was Alec Gilroy who had tripped up on the chair when he was leaving the Corner Shop. When Percy came into the Rovers later he complained that the bar was too high and again collided with Alec when he came out of the toilets. The landlord's lack of patience was demonstrated to the fore and he immediately pushed Percy into the street, barring him from the pub and outraging the rest of the customers.
