The new store was a bit ' are you being served' which wendy richards ( pauline fowler) was in for years as a sexy Ms Brahms.
She really altered to play Pauline though, a different woman almost!

the being tired bit was realistic though, people dont realise how retail takes it out on your back and feet.
yes to Jane being the most tolerant person around - her 'step' children have abused her in more ways than the average human could put up with, yet she is all smiles and supportive and still nice!
rest of it was pants - i dont think Josh really had a company credit card for lauren to spend with, most likely his own one. the dress was very circa 1988, is that all back in now?

Akire · 24/05/2017 11:59

If anyone had told me while at work I would have to pop out to buy a dressy dress I'd have buy a decent backless bra, suck it in pants. Have to find someone to shave underarms legs! How many of us are bodyrwady enough to do what bloke does and just change their clothes!!

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2017 13:30

Akire, thats true, i would be out for ages trying to find my size ( never easy) and would also have to borrow a shaver/ razor blade for hairy legs etc. She bought that dress in no time at all. there are a few shops around canary wharf i think, but that was impressive.
Josh is so creepy - lauren is surrounded by weird blokes.

OhTinky · 24/05/2017 14:23

Utterly dreadful set of episodes this week so far. I can't take any more discussions about The Freehold, Who Looks After Charlie, or The Great Denise Famine.

Could Denise not brazen it out by being at Kim's house when mealtimes come around? Or by asking for a cheeky bag of crisps/fruit? Or god forbid even asking in the square for a job? She's got customer service skills so could presumably work at Beales?

Akire · 24/05/2017 14:27

Exactly. Kim wants go shopping, gym, pub. Denise offers to babysit and has free meal in return.

Still think she needs to faint with hunger into the arms of hunky tutor

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2017 14:28

I cant get over Mock's attitude to the freehold selling - it does appear now that LInda did know about it and agreed it all with Shirley - he wasnt around and they had piles of debts and sicky dogs and hardly any roof left, not to mention a death too! What were they meant to do?
Mock was the same with his kids - the minute there was a problem he would start shouting, throwing things etc. He needs to blooming well grow up a bit!

HateSummer · 24/05/2017 14:30

If my boss told me to go buy a new dress for work I'd tell him to fuck off. If I walked in on my boss in his office getting changed and he beckoned me in, I'd leave my job. He really is a short little creep.

Nuchelle looked quite pretty yesterday. She has nice eyes.

Akire · 24/05/2017 14:31

Totally agree he was sinking for ages, org nothing left to try or do. Roof couldn't have waited or the dog could have died. They were acing a pub theme night every bleeding night andcraising about £2.50.

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2017 14:40

hate, Josh is a whole bunting full of 'red flags' and Lauren will be doing her own AIBU thread soon at this rate ( it it was real life of course!)
He is a controlling little oik and should be told where to go - but Lauren seems in awe of him and his photocopier and posh offices and credit card with no limits - what he actually does for a living to earn all this dosh is a bit vague anyway. He doesnt seem that competent to me.
Not that steven is much better though. poor girl is deluded.

HateSummer · 24/05/2017 14:48

Yes you're right 80's, she does seem to be surrounded by manipulative arses! Poor Peter was a good'un. Josh could be done for sexual harassment.

Justanothersingledoutnumber · 24/05/2017 14:50

place marking

troodiedoo · 24/05/2017 15:16

Grin you have such a way with words 80s!

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2017 15:33

troo, thank you -
( English/ English literature were the only subjects I was any good at back in the dark ages! lol)
Peter was alright, she should have stuck with the hunk. Although if he is still around is a mystery to us all ( i bet Steven killed him in NZ or something)

Cary2012 · 24/05/2017 17:40

Jane's character has changed, she's like a diluted version of her old self. Although always loyal I'm sure I remember her being feisty.

I don't care about Denise anymore, and give less of a stuff about who has Maffew as his dad calls him.

Has Dot got new teeth, she sounded odd, or do I need to either get my ears sorted or a new TV?

The80sweregreat · 24/05/2017 18:24

Maffew! Yes, Chaz's accent is very odd at times. He also doesnt look as if he really wants him either!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2017 21:42

Josh did have a nice body tho .....

Rippled abs

Just saying ....

Yeah he's a proper Clark Kent!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 24/05/2017 22:46

Things that I think about now the actual storylines are shit:

What is up with Lauren's dress sense? She looks like she's choosing her clothes from the rail M&S rejected as being too frumpy.

How is Josh so high-powered and what does he actually do? If I'd known that the Lauren/Josh collective IQ was all it took to be successful in Canary Wharf, I'd have got a job there.

Why is Denise doing English Lit and not English Lang, which is generally regarded as the more useful GCSE, if you're only going to have one.

Why is no-one shagging Denise's tutor, easily the hottest bloke on the square?

What was the point of recasting Johnny? Lady Di has actually had more storylines in her own right than he has.

What does it tell you about this programme that the most excited I've been this week when watching was when I realised that Shaki has cut his ridiculous hair?

EnidButton · 24/05/2017 22:46

Becoming suddenly disabled would possibly leave you as a diluted version of yourself though. I feel like they've at least got that right with Jane. She's having to adjust and rely on others in ways she never thought about before.

EnidButton · 24/05/2017 22:46

....she might go back to the way she was, maybe even more so, but the time it's taking seems realistic.

The80sweregreat · 25/05/2017 08:30

I zone out a lot lately with the plot, it wasnt until someone mentioned Ben on here that i remembered his secret phone call to someone - who ever it was had better put their photo frames away.
True that Lady Di has had more action than Sausage - being ill, having an expensive operation then turning sniffer dog is better than mooning around with a laptop. Lady Di for a Bafta next year?

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/05/2017 09:02

I didn't Even notice shaki hair

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 25/05/2017 09:06

What was the point in recasting Johnny?
To make every other cast member look like a good actor including Lady Di?

Mick was so angry he pied his parrot wallpaper. Intense Grin

The80sweregreat · 25/05/2017 09:58

I guess that we are meant to think ' he now has a grudge against his wife as she loves that awful wall paper and flamingos in general'
However, most of us on here just think he is behaving like a spoilt kid.
( or worse)

DameSquashalot · 25/05/2017 11:42

I love the nn Sausage. Makes me laugh every time...

Who will next to get a Tube scene?
