The Breadman made early morning deliveries to the Corner Shop on the morning after the death of Renee Roberts - before the news was known to the residents - and couldn’t rouse a grief-stricken Alf. He cheekily suggested to a passing Elsie Tanner that she could take him in for a nice cup of tea until the Roberts were up. Elsie retorted that you don’t get a bean out of a peapod. Laughing, he told her he was on cover of Health and Strength magazine this week.
