Does no one empty the bins anymore? That funeral business card would have been in the bin for weeks at this point, and Sarah's various paternity test results hung around in unemptied bins for several months before being discovered.
ReplyDeleteIt's depressing how often this plot device is used. Private letters, pregnancy and paternity tests always get thrown away in a bin where anyone can find them. George would have put the card in his back pocket and got rid of it somewhere else. Even if the card had found its way to the wheelie bin, naturally the one item that missed the lorry would have been the business card, gleaming face up on the pavement!
ReplyDeleteThe bin business is almost as ridiculous as the idea that Ryan's pittance of a rent will solve Peter's £15K debt problem!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't feel that a woman would ask for intimate photos of man's intimate area online. But I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteI like Debbie and Ronnie's story about the shares in Newton & Ridley. I have a feeling that it's all going to go wrong and that Ed will end up losing out as Ronnie has got himself into trouble.
I like how Debbie's picked up on Glenda's flirting with Ronnie!
Funeral firms are big business now, so it's interesting about the fall out with George and Todd.
The name of the rival firm is absurd - 'Rest Easy'! Honestly!
I'd love to tell these funeral directors that legally, you don't have to hold a funeral at all.
It's funny but when Archie was in it, I don't recall him mentioning his 2 children. He left his funeral business to Audrey, didn't he? So why has George got it?
I'm glad for any break we have from Max and co.
