My irresistible you? in the background?

fluffiphlox · 05/02/2016 19:12

Has anyone seen an old film called 'Gaslight'? I think the SW have.

Stickerrocks · 05/02/2016 19:13

What type of law does Usha specialise in? Had a glimmer of hope that Helen would pop across to the tea rooms after more of Rob's sniping and let rip to Ruth (ooooo nooooo Hellin Pet) and Usha who would immediately get a court order in place.

BYOSnowman · 05/02/2016 19:15

was that a convulsion?

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 05/02/2016 19:16

Oh so now Helen can't do stock control or work a till? After how many years in retail.

Stickerrocks · 05/02/2016 19:16

If she's just shown him up in front of Jolene, she won't be allowed to come back to work again.

BumpPower · 05/02/2016 19:16

Did the till attack her?

tickory2 · 05/02/2016 19:16

Ooooh, Hellin! I seethed on her behalf when Knob butted in about putting the aloe vera through the till.
D'you think she fainted?

Bimblepops · 05/02/2016 19:16

God, I can't bear it, not sure how much longer I can listen to this.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 05/02/2016 19:16

Byos impossible to tell. Could have been a mega strop

Gruach · 05/02/2016 19:17

Sounded more like an explosion of frustrated fury to me.

Whatever happens to that man I hope it's slow and painful.

3littlefrogs · 05/02/2016 19:17

I think she was starting to vomit. Sad

BYOSnowman · 05/02/2016 19:18

they do like their unfathomable sound effects

tonight was definitely leading up to Helen being told not to work anymore

Travelledtheworld · 05/02/2016 19:18

OH NO !
I think she fainted.....in front of Jolene too. Useful witness.

BYOSnowman · 05/02/2016 19:19

his reaction was more shock though - rather than his usual contempt

tickory2 · 05/02/2016 19:19

So that's green light to Knob to have her putting her feet up dahling while he covers all their shifts.

NettleTea · 05/02/2016 19:19

Maybe she has stabbed him. we can but hope

Stickerrocks · 05/02/2016 19:19

I think she threw a wobbly when he tried to interfere. He must have changed the order to 500g pots to make her look incompetent again. He's been niggling her all morning and now he's been able to get her to have a strop in front of a customer. Absolutely perfect.

Imbroglio · 05/02/2016 19:20

Do you think Rob was 'left out of things' as a child?

tibbawyrots · 05/02/2016 19:21

My bloody oven beeped and I missed the last bit about the till Angry

He is so far over the line it's unreal.

Stickerrocks · 05/02/2016 19:21

Maybe Miles & Ursula used to have secrets which they kept from him.

Stickerrocks · 05/02/2016 19:25

Helen was trying to put aloe vera cream through the till and return aloe vera gel. the till wasn't playing ball & kept beeping. Helen got cross and then we all lost the plot on what actually happened. Did she faint? Did she hit Rob? Did she pick up the till & throw it at him? At least this won't stay a secret, as the whole village will know she's fragile now.

Imbroglio · 05/02/2016 19:26

I wondered if he touched/grabbed her and she reacted violently?

TopOfTheCliff · 05/02/2016 19:28

I thought that Imbroglio. If she was struggling with the till in frustration and he came over and touched her or the till she might have swung at him. I would have!

Imbroglio · 05/02/2016 19:29

I hope Aloe Vera gel is packaged with really sharp edges.
