Template:26 March

26th March 1999: Three weeks of all-out war between Curly Watts and squatters Jackie and Tyrone Dobbs over 7 Coronation Street, owned by Curly, came to a head when Curly and Spider Nugent got in using a key given to them by Les Battersby and refused to budge. Tyrone summoned his dad Darren Dobbs, who according to Jackie was a violent man who would "sort them out". Curly waited it out, turning down an offer from Jackie to back down in exchange for £1,000. His patience was rewarded when Darren turned up and apologized to them on Jackie's behalf, having actually been contacted by Tyrone to remove Jackie before things got ugly. The Dobbs then left the Street, to the relief of many.
