Plot[]
Hilda realises that Stan hasn't worked since December and won't draw his pension until May. She insists that the £200 is invested as their housekeeping. Gail contemplates sending Nicky to a private school to give him a better chance in life. Fred cuts the price of the pies but the customers still complain about their taste. Stan takes Hilda's cash card and uses it to withdraw money from the bank. Rita tells Mr Heslop that she is not buying the car and has stopped the cheque. He threatens her with the police but Brian tells him that the car is a wreck and crooked and throws him out of The Kabin. Rita is grateful for his help. Ken and Sally Waterman taste the fayre at the Rovers. Stan passes off his money as winnings from the horses. Fred is suddenly doubled up with pain.
