ITALY

George and Lynne are in their car picking up Katalina. Lynne asks her how Italy was. Katalina tells her it was wonderful and that she fell madly for a couple of guys. Lynne asks her if she will see either of them again. Katalina tells her she does every time she closes her eyes.

Katalina has been on a holiday by herself to Italy and has asked Lynne if she will pick her up from the airport. It would appear that Katalina doesn't have many friends. As she's gone away on her own, it might be that she has just come out of serious relationship and needed some time to come to terms with it, similar to Shirley Valentine but a bit younger.

Katalina has got over her last boyfriend quite quickly if she has already fallen for not one but two men. However Katalina is merely over exaggerating; she had no intention of seeing the men again and just wanted to have a wild week away to forget her troubles. These two men were incredibly nice to her and she will remember the holiday with great fondness.

In the meantime George has completely missed this conversation as he has been putting Katalina's bags in the boot of his car. After hearing Lynne's question he wonders what Katalina might be seeing again. Considering she is recently single, he thinks that it might be a couple of properties in Italy. As a leading property lawyer, he wryly smiles to himself as he has been wanting to get into the European market for a while and this could be his chance. He won't like it when he finds out exactly what they are talking about.

QUIET NIGHT

George and Sammy are at the pub. George comments that it is a quiet night and Sammy agrees. Just then a woman appears asking for help because she got soaked with beer trying to change a barrel. Later George and Sammy come home bandaged. Lynne asks what happened and George replies that they got trampled in the rush.

George and Sammy are at the The Ferryboat, their local pub. It is not very busy, evident from George's comment and the fact that they have both got stools at the bar. We can't be sure how many people are in the pub tonight but George and Sammy's end of the bar is certainly not being staffed right now. The other part of the bar may be busy, but relaxed.

The barmaid has failed to properly change the barrel of beer. This is most likely because she has not changed a barrel without supervision before. The manager of the bar thought this would be an ideal night for her to try it alone because the bar wasn't that busy and he could get by without her behind the bar for a short time. I do not know how easy or difficult it is to change a barrel of beer but this may have been a casket of guest ale which didn't come in a metal keg. It could also have been defective in which case the manager may want to take that up with the brewery.

From their bandages, it looks like George has sprained his arm and Sammy has a cut on his head. The rush of male patrons must have come from George's left side, knocking his right arm into the bar and then smashing Sammy's head to the bar or the floor. We don't know if George and Sammy went to hospital but because they haven't phoned their wives to tell them about the incident it suggests that the barmaid herself patched up the two men. She felt guilty that they were the only two injured. The throng of male clientele failed to save the barrel in question and the barmaid was told to go directly to the manager next time she had a problem to avoid such an incident again.

CHARLIE FROM THE CIRCUS

Lynne is talking to an unnamed friend who tells her that Charlie from the circus is giving her a lift to work. Lynne is confused because as far as she knows Charlie doesn't have a car. Her friend tells her that no one mentioned a car as she gets a lift on the back of an elephant.

In a normal town, the circus usually comes in for a week, month or other set amount of time. However it seems that in Wimbledon they have their own resident circus. We know this because both Lynne and her friend seem to be familiar with Charlie, an employee of the circus. Lynne's friend knows him well enough to be offered a lift to work and Lynne knows that he doesn't own a car. How did she get hold of this information? Perhaps she regularly sees him walking around town.

We must presume that Charlie is in charge of the elephants at the Wimbledon circus, but is he really allowed to give unauthorised rides to ladies? There must be some sort of manager or owner who would veto any use of the elephant for personal gain. The other explanation is that Charlie owns the circus, but this can't be the case because he is known as Charlie from the circus and the elephant trainer would be furious at Charlie pulling rank on him and taking the elephant out.

Lynne's friend must work somewhere that is situated where she has to walk into town first. It appears from this that half the work has been done to get to town in the first place, in order to get a lift with Charlie. Will Charlie ride her right up to the office, or just to the end of the park? It just doesn't seem convenient. Lynne's friend obviously either has the hots for Charlie or just really wants to ride on an elephant.

YOGA

Lynne is doing yoga. She says that it is very good for her. George thinks that watching Lynne doing yoga is very good for him.

Lynne has decided to do her yoga with no top on but she still has her socks on. Are these special yoga socks? From the second frame it might be that she needs them to hold on to when doing some yoga moves.

It looks like this is taking place in the bedroom. What's intriguing is that a yellow bear is the only thing on the mantlepiece. Is this a rare family heirloom? If it was just a bear it might be with some other stuffed toys. No, this is a very valuable item. It may be that the bear is solid gold and once belonged to Walt Disney. It represents an original character that was never published but Walt had it molded into a statue to commemorate his life's work. How did it end up in the hands of a couple in Wimbledon, you ask. That is a mystery we will never quite uncover.

HORSES

Lynne and 'Mantha are out horse riding. Lynne tells 'Mantha that Ed says he'll never get another. 'Mantha asks Lynne if he said why. Lynne replies that it was too difficult and expensive to keep. 'Mantha asks Lynne if she is talking about horses. Lynne says that she is not; she is talking about wives.

Once again, Lynne and 'Mantha are out enjoying a luxury hobby. This time it is horse riding. They seem to be good at this because they have no trainer and have their horses under control. Although 'Mantha has failed to co-ordinate her earrings with anything she is wearing, she has matched her riding helmet with her blouse. Lynne has also co-ordinated her outfit by matching her riding gloves with her trousers.

It appears that Lynne has deliberately set out to confuse 'Mantha by not telling her initially that she was talking about wives. 'Mantha assumes she is talking about horses, presumably because they are riding horses and were probably talking about them too. This conversation would be a bit deeper had Lynne told 'Mantha that Ed says he'll never have another wife. They could then discuss just how expensive and difficult Ed's wife was rather than laughing to themselves for the next 10 minutes.

Just who is Ed that he deserves to be talked about? His surname is not mentioned so he must be well known. He may be the owner of the stable but it would be strange that the owner of a stable wouldn't get another horse. Not that he isn't getting another horse, but another wife. Why would 'Mantha think that Ed the stable owner is never getting another horse? Does she think that Ed is thinking of closing the stable? She does look a little shocked when she asks if it is horses. Where on earth would she go riding? Her smile at the end is less appreciation of Lynne's joke, but relief that her riding can continue.

FLOATING VOTERS

George and Lynne are in a hot air balloon. George asks Lynne why they have gone up in a hot air balloon on election day. Lynne replies that it is because they are floating voters.

On first glance it seems that George and Lynne are the only people in the hot air balloon. Due to this it would be that either George or Lynne are experienced hot air balloon riders, because you would expect that an instructor or controller would be in the basket with them. However there does seem to be a pale figure behind Lynne. He is likely to be the controller and hires out his balloon to members of the public.

George and Lynne are going up in the balloon during the day so both they and the balloon man have time to get to the polling booth which will be open until 10pm. If this is taking place outside the Wimbledon area then we have to presume that George and Lynne have registered and voted by post. The balloon man will give his last balloon ride to finish at 7pm so he can have time to vote.

Lynne claims that both she and George are floating voters. It would appear that Lynne doesn't understand the term and believes it has something to do with literally being in the air. Even if she does understand, it bears no relevance on this election. This must be 1983. At this time, Wimbledon was a Conservative safe seat since 1950, and wouldn't swing to Labour until 1997. Perhaps this is why they have gone on a little trip. They know full well that their vote wouldn't make a difference in their constituency and so have decided to make use of the day to do something that they've been wanting to do for a long time.

CLOTHES BACK ON

Lynne and 'Mantha are at nudist camp. 'Mantha tells Lynne that she was once offered money to strip. Lynne tells 'Mantha that Mrs Warboys told her that someone once offered her money to put her clothes back on. 'Mantha asks her who would do that. Lynne winks and tells her it was Mr Warboys.

'Mantha does not come to the nudist camp as regularly as Lynne. We can see this as she is displaying tan lines whereas Lynne is tanned all over. Lynne has managed to convince her to come along but 'Mantha is certainly apprehensive. She is not as liberal as Lynne but has agreed to go on the condition that she can have a towel close to hand in case she becomes too embarrassed.

Lynne should be a little bit more sensitive towards her friend. 'Mantha is trying to ease herself into the nudist camp by talking about her previous incidents involving nudity. She tells Lynne about a time when she was offered to strip but Lynne just uses this opportunity to trump 'Mantha. 'Mantha plays along with Lynne's conversation but is starting to look more uncomfortable.

Unless someone has squirted lemon juice in her eye, Lynne's wink suggests that Mr Warboys never offered Mrs Warboys money to put her clothes on. What we don't know is whether Lynne is passing on a little joke told by Mrs Warboys or whether it is her own joke. If it is Mrs Warboys' joke then we would hope that she will acknowledge the creator of the joke. If it is Lynne's joke then it is a personal attack on Mrs Warboys which suggests that Lynne has the opinion that Mrs Warboys' naked body is both repulsive and offensive. Let us hope Mrs Warboys doesn't catch wind of Lynne's joke or there could be a frosty reception at the next cocktail party.
