Template:7 April

7th April 1997: Mavis Wilton celebrated her 70th birthday with an intimate gathering of a few friends at No.4. Derek was a notable absentee as he was away collecting her present, but Mavis refused to accept his excuse that he was stuck in traffic when he phoned to explain his lateness. On his way back, Derek was made to pull over by an angry motorist he had cut off. The man had a dig at Derek's company car and broke the paper clip sign on the top to get his own back. Derek tried to argue back but he was out of his comfort zone and as the man drove away, Derek had a massive heart attack and died on the spot.
