Yep! As far as I could see, all Maria did was comb his hair. I think he might have been able to manage that on his own.Quote:

Also, laughable her saying that "Girls today aren't shrinking violets", I think Maria would certainly know all about that, she was never exactly the shy one.
Good on Audrey standing up to tiresome Gail as well
Gail is tiresome but she means wellQuote:

Maria is outdoing Sally with her snooty attitude with the council.
I see she has the standard issue clipboard and sheaf of papers. She thinks though that she as one junior councillor can change policy for an entire council. It doesn't work like that m
Of course it doesn't. The whole way this story has been scripted is completely ridiculous. Not only would she not be able to change policy like that, but she wouldn't be allowed within 100 miles of the local union official to negotiate with him.Quote:

It was also rich of Stephen to come in and take over and pass judgement on everyone else considering he's practically never there.
The fact that Stephen is practically never there is not his fault.Quote:

It's rhyming slang: Septic Tank > YankQuote:

No, but he's no right to be judgemental when he is practically never there. Popping in and a couple of hours he's acting like he's the know all.Quote:
