devised a cunning plan.

Meanwhile, Ashley and Tony continued to collect conkers for the competition they had organised at the Rovers.

they gathered bags full of the things, only to be told by Roy that now it is not allowed to pllay that game, "What are you saying, Roy" asked Ken who had joined in the hunt,"the p.c. people have banned them as being dangerous" Roy replied. "what are we going to do with them now,we have hundreds of them" Fizz and Kelly came to have a nosy, "The conkers would make fantastic jewellry items "Fizz said

Well, Ken didn't realise that conkers had been banned but he wasn't surprised! He reminisced how he and his brother David played the game on the cobbles many years ago and how Ena interrupted her harmonium playing to yell at them from the Mission window and poor old Minnie often looking for her cat and that scary looking Martha Longhurst trotting off to the Rovers to sit in 'The Snug' to wait for her friends! ' Wake up Ken, what are you thinking, you're miles away..............

it's 2008 FGS - get real. Nothing that causes pleasure can be done these days, the PC brigade have the upper hand Ken - live with it!!!! Fizz meanwhile was threading conkers on a string and wondering how she would make attachments for earrings when Ashley appeared looking rather out of breath and red-faced. What you been up to asked Fizz - Ashley mumbled something about having been

for a jog around the Red Rec and could he please have half a dozen conkers as pc or no pc he was going to show his sons how to play it so Fizz

finally decided there and then that the red hair had to go!! 'Conkers! FLAMMING CONKERS! is that what my life has come to? she asked herself > Fizz decided to join the

blonde brigade, she called into Audreys to seeMarie, what do you think she asked, marie said it will be great, i will do it at the flat then you dont have to pay anything, so they arranged it for the next day, meanwhile paul who was definatley his fathers son, was throwing a right wobbly, leanne had spent all the insurance money without letting on, she had bought

a brothel, after all she had experience in that area of the market. David meanwhile was getting a taste of life in custody and he didn't much like it - shame!!!! He began to wonder why it was that his mother suddenly looked as if she had been for a makeover, hair and make-up - strange. Perhaps there was another man on the horizon - please God not another Richard Hillman. Gail meantime was doing her Mother Theresa impression and staggering around on an unlikely pair of crutches, sighing all the time and looking into the distance - what did she see out there> Who knows, who cares. Audrey had woken up with mega hangover following Gail's 50th and wondered how it could be that Gail was only 50 when she herself was only 65!! Perhaps

n

her own mother had not been honest with her about her birth. Audrey ordered her birth cert only to discover she was actually 68!, She had been born out of wedlock! She thought about it a moment and then decided to tell everyone considering (she hoped) that they were going to say she looked good for her age.

She looked closer at her cert, who was her father, who was this Albert Tatlock person? This family history stuff definitely throws up a few secrets.

Audrey went back to her house in suburbia to get on the internet immediately.

Meanwhile.....

Bill as usual, was in the pub, with Jason, who looks one very unhappy guy, it surely coudnt mean he was missing Sarah, the never grown up girl! but that wasnt the reason, Eileen,had not washed for a week so he had no clean clothes and he so wanted to go on the pull, alas he would just have to chat up becky who doesnt seem to care who she

talks to. Beggars can't be choosers thought Jason he would rather be bored with Becky's company than have no company. He thought again, and decided to go to the launderette and wash his own clothes, then he would..................

be able to pull all the girls in the street like....or was there any single females other than Becky and Violet's sister whose name escapes me......Sean is looking rather fetching these days thought Jason.....perhaps....No..Im a builder....but then again..... maybe......Jason sat in the launderette watching his washing going around whilst pondering his dilema, when suddenly

a thought came to him, which let's be fair, was something of a major miracle. Should he go to Italy and see if he could make things up with Sarah? Second thoughts perhaps not - she was such a whinger most of the time. He looked at the washing again and realised all his clothes were now pink having put a red sweatshirt in with everything!!! While he was sitting there Becky had

a large amount of local thuggs came bouncing in like real idiots,yelling names at all .
and jason had'nt even noticed any of them,he was in a daze and still thinking about bec and also high on his thoughts still was sean,he was seeing a mini film in his head,of himself with sean and him both in bib and braces and a nail pouch ,but they were not building anything they were

discussing colour schemes!!! Jason wondered what was going on in his head - Sean was a drip - big time - and here was he fantasising about him. Perhaps he was ill but he was always so healthy and didn,t feel at all ill. Perhaps he should have a word with Todd - maybe it was in the genes. Becky had now despatched the thugs from the caff while Roy looked on in amazement - he'd never seen a girl act like Becky - how different she was from his Hayley he thought as he clutched his shopping bag even closer to his chest. About time Hayley came back he though and to this end he rang her in Africa and asked her

how to make a really good Apple Pie to bring more customers in. Hayley didn't know but suggested he speak to Betty who had loads of recipes.

So Roy went in search of Betty

as he walked down pass the pub,he noticed bill still there hanging of his stool with a group of ladies(if you could call them that)they didnt look like any local ladies that Roy new,and had'nt seen local's dressing like his group,mmmmm
he thought as he stood glanceing in the window

no one knew where Bewtty lived - she just appeared in the Rovers from time to time armed with lots of hot pots. It was a futile search so he asked Emily. She was most helpful and gave him an excellent recipe but Norris kept chipping in as usual and for once in her life Emily actually swore at him!!! This meant a trip to church toute suite to ask forgiveness off the vicar. Meanwhile Rita decided it was time to retire, after all she was nearling her 107th birthday and felt it was time to hang up her pinny so she told Norris she was putting the Kabin on the market - he flew in a panic and
