Template:15 September

15th September 1971: Elsie Howard got the shock of her life when during an argument with Betty Turpin she was told that her husband Alan had played away in Leeds with Janet Reid. Elsie stormed round to Alan who admitted that Janet had followed him to his hotel but nothing had happened. She then went to the Corner Shop and confronted Janet. She confessed her aching loneliness and her constant fear that she would be left on the shelf. Elsie was sympathetic to a point but let Janet know in no uncertain terms that Alan was hers and she would fight tooth and nail for her. Janet was beaten but Elsie wanted everyone to see that. She made Janet join her for a drink in front of the gawping regulars in the Rovers and then forced her to leave the area with threats should she ever return.
