When greengrocer Alf Butler decides that the other business he owns - a ladies' hairdressing salon - is going downhill, he brings in an experienced manageress. However, he discovers a new broom tends to sweep very clean!
' It's always shops and it's always on a Thursday night.'
' It's automatic, isnt it - any invite that comes to this salon naturally includes me.'
'It's purely a matter of observation. I always say, there's a story in everyone.'
' Well, I don't need you. I have someone who wants me for myself.'
' But this one is an investment - his father is the mayor.'
' What I'm suggesting is that we put a man's section in the salon.'
