S2.E1 ∙ Website

Mon, Dec 31, 2007

It is the anniversary of her husband's death and Sal feels that her children are not being sensitive enough. Tash is working in tele-sales - though not too successfully. Sal does manage to teach James to be nicer to his patients however. Plans for the Guild to create a website in collusion with another group are hampered by arguments as to who should build it and put the photographs on it. Delilah Stagg comes off her bicycle and ends up in hospital.

S2.E2 ∙ Festival

Thu, Jan 03, 2008

Tash and Spike set off for the Glastonbury festival, which Tash hopes to get into for nothing by posing as a security guard. Sal is looking forward to a quiet weekend alone but is interrupted by Susie, who believes she is pregnant after a one-night stand. Sal's efforts to get her a pregnancy test without anyone else knowing leads Eileen to suspect that they are plotting to replace her as president but Tip reveals that the man in question had had a vasectomy so Susie cannot be pregnant. Sal's quiet weekend is rudely brought to an end when Tash returns, having failed to get into Glastonbury.

S2.E3 ∙ Rambling

Thu, Jan 10, 2008

Whilst Tash is out protesting with the druids against the Army taking over land Sal realizes that Spike the shambling hippy is ideally suited for her daughter rather than her admirer Marcus, and persuades Spike to ask Tash out, which he does - eventually. Sal organizes a ramble for the Guild. Eileen feels that it should have a theme but Sal sees it as a bonding exercise. In the course of the ramble they see the vicar entertaining a strange woman and he reacts awkwardly. The ramble is cut short when a fog comes down.
