Template:18 February

18th February 1970: While dropping off a box of grocerys at Len Fairclough's, Elsie Tanner received the shock of her life - her old paramour Bill Gregory was back and was staying with him. The two hadn't met for eight years since Elsie discovered that he was married and his separated wife Phyllis came back to try and give their marriage another chance. Many things had happened to Bill in the interim: he had gone into partnership running a bar in the Algarve and, after another two year separation, Phyllis had died. Now Bill was keen to not to waste further time and asked an incredulous Elsie to be his wife.
