Pancake Day falls flat for Jolene.
It's the day of Lilian's big pancake extravaganza. It's well attended, but Jolene's patience wears thin as she and Sid have to do the majority of the hard work. After dropping the first huge pancake in an ill-fated toss, Sid is forced to slave away all night over a hot paella pan, ending with a burnt hand and singed eyebrows. The takings are pitifully low when the costs of the evening are taken into consideration. Lilian refuses to be downcast - and looks forward to the Valentine's Day event instead.
Clarrie talks to Susan about the slimming club as she buys items for a healthy fruit salad. Susan is impressed that Eddie will be attending, although he's not very happy about it.
Joe asks if the Grundys can be part of the new bio-energy consortium. David says he'll put the proposal to the others but Joe will have to raise a percentage of the Β£600K if he wants to be involved. Joe beats a hasty retreat - but David's evening is interrupted again, by Susan, who makes it clear that she doesn't like the idea of looking out at what will probably amount to being a sewage farm from her bedroom window.
