Template:25 April

25th April 1966: Jack and Annie Walker didn't get too many holidays away together and for that reason they both enjoyed a trip to Ireland they made together in the Spring of 1966 to see Harry and Concepta Hewitt. Upon their return, Annie was aghast to see what she felt was a fall in standards of hygiene and behaviour in the Rovers brought about by chirpy relief manager Brenda Riley but even more put out that Newton & Ridley asked her to stay on an teach Annie how to be friendly to customers and Brenda's methods of putting on food in the daytime. Annie dragged Jack to the brewery for an explanation and saw her worst fears confirmed when she returned and saw a billiard table set up in the public and a raucous game in progress. She made her demand of Jack: throw Brenda out or she would leave herself.
