Plot[]
Tanya enjoyed Amsterdam but resents being back to normal. Mavis is puzzled to take a phone message for Derek, cancelling an appointment, from an arrogant woman. Jim drives some yuppies around all day, putting up with their jokes about the Irish. Raquel enjoyed the Cotswolds whilst Des makes sure Tanya knows that he had a great time. Mike is furious when he discovers the yuppies' cheque is dated 1993. Alex tells Tanya he realises that she deserves more than an occasional evening. She is stunned when he decides to tell Val he's leaving her. Mavis is suspicious when Derek works every evening. Jim is amused to hear about the dud cheque and delights in showing Mike the £50 tip he was given. Tanya tells Des that she had a lousy weekend and couldn't stop thinking about him. He agrees he felt the same.
