The Arch deacon Silly billy, in charge of actual vicarages when he lives in a pokey little flat
In an inner city back street. Didn't he refuse a vicarage himself ?Quote:

And what about being near his parishioners in a Vicarage which is usually next to the church ....or don't they count ?Quote:

I think he was originally living in a vicarage next door to the church. Maybe I am mixing this up with another Soap as they all share the same storylines at some point.Quote:

You are such a cynic Parkerman! - You mean you find it hard to believe that a solicitor could process the will at the speed of light.Quote:

As Jacob phoned from the chippy it is natural for Leanne to assume it is open but maybe closing time and that is when Jacob found the wallet... as he is only going across the street Simon should be home again in 5 minutes .. but you are right, Son of Cain, I am going for a lie down now..Quote:

I did think that Leanne had a cheek earlier saying "Nick used to live here", no that was Nicks flat, but she's talking as if its hers.
And now she doesn?t want to work,or can?t face it as she says, so it?s Simon buying the food, paying the leccy and all the rest of the living expenses on his part time chippy wages. Plus she won?t consider applying for benefits. Nice !Quote:

When Audrey agreed to lend David the money he should have tried going straight to Debbie and buying from her direct.
We don't know what the asking price was. I think Tracy said the house was valued at ?180,000. Ray said he paid more than it eventually sold for, (?22,000) so Gail got it at a bargain price.Quote:
