Plot[]
The union recommends that Ida has Henry removed from the factory. Jack helps Bet out as temporary cellarman. Ida tells Mike that Henry is a strike-breaker. Christine tells Mike that she's sorted David out. Vera accuses Bet of conning Jack into spending his time in the Rovers rather than on his window round. She drags Jack out of the pub. Mike tells Henry that he's not bothered about his past. Bet tells Gloria she's not got enough experience and she wants her to finish. Gloria accuses her of not liking the competition from a younger woman. Shirley and her friend Donna model Christine's flying suits for buyer Ralph Ward. Terry helps Bet out in the cellar. Vera catches him but agrees to let him carry on when Bet compliments her on his good manners. Mike invites Christine out for a non-business drink, she refuses.
