Stan likes the idea of Irma going out with the wealthy David. Ken feels that David could do better than Irma. Charlie is sacked from the club. Irma's Godfather, Bernie Sparks, turns up and tells Stan about his successful waste-paper business. Hilda invites David for tea. Annie lends her her Crown Derby tea set. Bernie offers Stan a job, driving a waste-paper van for £12 a week. Stan refuses the job and plans to start his own waste-paper business with Charlie and Albert. Whilst washing-up, Stan breaks one of Annie's plates. David and Irma are amused by the Ogdens' idea of courtship.
