THE GINSTER SANCTION
This whole episode appears to take place between the hours of 6 and 8
am while the market is setting up etc. Fascinating!
Fool goes to the police station to spring Backstreet, only to discover
that he has already gone. He mopes around the market, begging for
people to let him work on their stalls. Insert generic rant about the
way that EE characters always expect to be employed within walking
distance of their home. He only earns £2 for his troubles. Ha ha,
sucks to be you, Fool.
Backstreet has been picked up by Lee and Idiot Moon (Fooler? Foolest?
Foolio?), who "borrowed" Byrites car for the purpose. They won't let
him go until he has promised not to grass them up re the Bag of Crime
Storylines - Backstreet says he told the police it was drunken
hi-jinks. They promise that they have disposed of the bag and feed him
a microwaved Ginsters type pasty to cheer him up. It turns out that -
gasp - they have been lying and have instead hidden the bag at the
Moon's Dickensian Flat. Byrite nearly catches them with his car. They
are worried that the Bad Men of Manchester are going to look for them.
Fool catches up with them and tells them off for turning Backstreet's
head with their fancy northern crime ways. Lee tries to lure Fool back
into the shadowy twilight world of credit card fraud but Fool says he
is now too lovable and saintly to do that. Lee and Foolio break into
the Vic and beg Den to give them Fool's severance pay - they then
launder it through a fishmonger or something so that Fool can get the
money without hurting his precious pride. Whateverâ?¦
Yolande and Trinidad open the Kwik-E-Mart for the first time. Trinidad
is sad that none of his sons are there to witness this momentous
occasion. Zzz. Denman is still shunning Teen. O-Den is still hanging
round Teen and being a tool. Also zzz.
Panto Jane shows up to work and Ian tells her to go home and chill.
Jane says she wants to keep busy. Jane is guilty that she shagged Ian
before CJDave kicked off. Ian is conflicted or something and tells all
to Fool and asks for advice. I can't remember if Fool actually gives
any advice but anyway, he immediately runs over to Jane (who is taking
orders for brekkie from the stall holders) and gazes at her sadly.
Jane immediately stomps over to Ian and tells him off for giving away
her secret - she then goes home. Ian is sad. Devil Child Lucy is
sniffing around for some reason so Ian tells her everything too. Good
one, Ian! Lucy uses her hellspawned powers to track Jane to the bus
stop and says "Are you sad about your dead husband? I was sad when my
mummy died too. Will you be my new mummy? I can speak to unholy beings
from another dimension, you know!" (Ok, I made some of that up). Jane
is won over by Lucy's child like innocence etc and goes back to work.
Byrite finds a tell tale Ginsters wrapper in his car and is angry.
Grrr, no-one eats reclaimed meat products in his car! He stomps over
to Lee and Foolio and says they are in big trouble now. Lee makes fun
of Byrite for spitting when he talks (OK, that was quite funny) and
they tell him to fuck away off before they hand him his arse (and not
in a sexy way, either). Fool whimpers that they don't know what they
have just done. Byrite does what he does best - stomps off like a
great big mardy ponce.
