Arrangements are taking place for the flower show and the residents suggest ideas to make the street look good in comparison to their rivals in Victoria Street. Dennis Maxwell tells Elsie his proposition was genuine but she refuses to take him seriously. Lorna refuses an invite from Billy to go out as she’s going out with friends. Albert looks at the Victoria Street vegetable allotments and worries that they’ll beat the Coronation Street residents. Alf tells Ena that the parks department is sending someone to assist set up the flower show. Albert is put out that he wasn’t asked. Maxwell asks Elsie if the street is really what she wants for the rest of her life but she is perturbed when a girl is sacked and prosecuted for trying to steal goods. She firmly refuses Maxwell’s offer. George Gre
