Mrs Fletcher was a customer of Eddie Yeats's on his bin round. She followed him round to the back garden of her posh house as he started to collect the bags and was taken aback when he questioned her as to how good the Bulgarian red in one of her empty wine bottles had been, though he got round any possible offence by gossiping about the number of empties that he had to take away from the nearby No.29 each week. Mrs Fletcher was played by Marlene Sidaway who returned to the programme eight years later as the domineering Brenda Taylor, a.k.a Kimberley Taylor's "mummy".
