Template:6 October

6th October 1976: Annie Walker went to court when newly-arrived Renee Bradshaw applied for an off-licence for the Corner Shop. Annie objected on the grounds that the Rovers Return Inn supplied the needs of the local residents but Bet Lynch was forced to admit that they sent out to other off-licences when they ran out of wines and an anti-drinks campaigner also labelled her establishment as a place of corruption. The magistrates found in favour of Renee and Annie promptly blamed Bet for the loss until she'd had enough and rounded on her back at the pub. Annie was forced to defend herself and in doing so realised she didn't have the support of the residents that she thought she had had.
