The 1st Girl was a customer in The Grapes pub where Albert Tatlock and visiting Australian emigrant Ted Ashley went for a drink to relive their youth and revisit old haunts. Both were despondent that a decent Weatherfield pub had turned into a trendy bar with well-to-do posh people who talked of their wealth and looked down on the two old men. The 1st Girl and her friend talked firstly of clothes and she commented that she never bought clothes in sales as there was very little in them worth buying. When the conversation moved on to houses she gave her opinion that one with only three bedrooms was a false economy and there was always a need to have two toilets.
