Judy Cookson was a young assistant at the Elm Cafe, where Frank Bradley and Bet Lynch stopped en route to Skipton in September 1970 when Frank was on a delivery on the lorries. Judy was acquainted with Frank from his previous stopovers and took up his attentions on this occasion, flirting with him when he came up to the counter and telling him that he was making her jealous by bringing another girl in with him. Frank told Bet he didn't fancy Judy even though she "has what it takes". Bet took Frank's comments at face value and although she didn't feel threatened by Judy, it was an uncomfortable reminder that Bet was a few years older than Frank.
