Template:3 November

3rd November 1995: The Duckworths took over the licence of the Rovers and after a lunchtime of chaos without a working till and staff having to use Vera's "handbag" as she watched proceedings, the new manageress called an impromptu staff meeting and told Betty Williams and Raquel Wolstenhulme the results of her observations: displaying brilliant man-management techniques, she told Betty that she didn't do much aside from the hotpots in the kitchen and asked her to do some cleaning from now onwards and leave the bar work to Jack and Raquel. Predictably, Betty exploded and walked out on the spot. She also told husband Billy that they were going on an immediate holiday in order that she wasn't around when Vera would inevitably beg her to return.
