Double Granny Dissolution

 Sean decided that Double Granny was not working out.  It was hard enough pimping out one granny at a time but to pimp out two was like trying to sell two caps to a one-headed man.  No, that was it. Double Granny had to go.

He told Rita first.  As one of his first assets he felt that he should.  He also told Gail, Audrey and Evelyn, his other assets, who were of course people lower down the Double Granny Road to Riches scheme.  Audrey was disappointed, as she quite enjoyed the job.  Evelyn was annoyed as usual, especially as she'd been saving up to buy a camel.

Sean gathered all of his recruits and down-stream agents together for a meeting.  These were the people who bought supplies from Sean (leaflets, business-cards, oils, accoutrements, clothing, doggy-bags, wool, bingo-dabbers and more, all embossed with the Double Granny logo in gold lettering, and sold on at vastly inflated prices).  Sean bought supplies from his up stream supplier who made money from all of his recruits.

"Ladies, ladies, I have brought you here today to tell you that I am no longer a Double Granny Rider to Riches salesman.  I have decided that it's all a con, and that I am making money off the work of Gail Audrey, Rita and Evelyn.  So, as from today, I am no longer recruiting and I am no longer your upstream step to sterling.  I realise now that it is a pyramid scam, and that I am just selling dreams to desperate people who would never feel fulfilled by a day with any two of Sean's Sharing Grannies."

Daniel picked up. "I am writing a world exclusive for the Weatherfield Scouts' newsletter exposing this organisation.  Any information you give will be the truth, the whole truth....".  Daniel stopped quickly.  He wished that he had better pronounced the word 'whole' with the h sounded like whine rather than wine.  It came out like 'the hole truth' and given the context, he felt queasy.

Rita has no recollection

 Rita woke up, hungover as usual.  She was fully dressed, and so she reckoned that she must have been pretty tanked up the night before. She got up off the couch and staggered around, tripping over her high heels. "Here, what's that on me shoes?"   She bent down (slowly) and picked up a shoe.   "Blood? That looks like blood. Where did that come from?"

Mary and Brian catch up

The Rovers Return Mary: I often wonder what you see in me Brian. Brian: Mary, Mary, Mary. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou are more lovely and more temperate. Mary: But Brian, I very much fear that my summer is fading fast. Brian: In truth, you're probably at the stage of the first frost of autumn. Mary: And yet do not the apples hang lustily from my boughs, waiting to be picked, to be pulped, to be fermented and turned into the sweetest cider? Brian: I like a good cider. Mary: I used to like cider. I would drink it with friends after school. It made us very naughty and we played the most silly games of dare. Once, my friends dared me to steal a policeman's helmet. Brian: And did you? Mary: Of course. I got mother to help me. She entered the police station to report me missing, and insisted that she had murdered me. This meant that she had to be interviewed, and during the interview mother pretended to have a psychotic episode, during which time she picke...
