The unnamed Drayman from Newton & Ridley made a regular delivery to the Rovers Return Inn and asked Tina McIntyre for her signature on the docket. She happily complied, joking with the man that next time Liz McDonald would be there in her full "pretending she fancies you mode". The man kidded on that Liz wasn't joking and left. Rob Donovan had watched the exchange and saw that Tina used a pen from The Ship Hotel where a few weeks before he had encountered a guilty-looking Peter Barlow. He thus realised that the two were having an affair.
