Hilda pushes Stan to get a day off work from Len for her birthday. Len tells Elsie not to push Alan for an answer but to let him tell her the source of the money in his own time. Perkins tells Ken that Mrs Bates has been in to complain about him, saying he's interfering. He tells him to let the matter drop. Billy and Alf argue over the usefulness, or otherwise, of councillors. Elsie asks Billy if he knows where Alan got the money from but he denies any knowledge. Albert and Minnie push Alf for free coal from the council. Hilda suspects Stan is keeping something from her.
