[Son of Cain]

So Simon gets a phone call late at night on his mobile, answers it .. Leanne comes out of her bedroom and asks who would be phoning so late... Simon says Jacob from fish shop, Simon left his phone and Jacob found it so he is now going to get it .........or have I misunderstood something

You are confused Perdita, I suggest you follow Leanne's example, go into your bedroom and have a lie down. - Simon said he left his wallet at the chippy. - Simon openly leaving a bag of drugs by the kitchen table??? - Leanne does not seem to be bothered that Simon is going out late at night, would the chip shop still be open? - I think I too need to lie down in a darkened room to process this.

[Perdita]

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.

What we do not know is when Ted died .. maybe he died a while ago and his partner only phoned Gail once probate has passed to tell her about her inheritance?

Sorry but I am hard of hearing so do not always understand what is being said... 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..

I thought Gail was going to London to help sort out the funeral, not sure how long it takes to sort out probate, but you are right that it is very convenient he died when the house is going to be auction off.

I leave the subtitles on permanently as even though my hearing seems OK I also find it difficult to hear what is being said sometimes.

I thought the same so I rewound. It was his wallet he said he lost, not his phone. I thought it was strange that he answered his phone then said to a Leanne that he had lost it !

It should be obvious to anyone that Jacob is a wrong 'un , he just seems so obvious.

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 !

I wish I could find it so easy to cope with the utility bills, as it is I'm sitting with multiple layers of clothes and my feet and hands are freezing as I'm trying to keep usage down, I certainly wouldn't get away with telling the company that "they would have to wait".

Probate takes about 6 months !
