The Ambridge economy faces a crisis.
Eric, the dry stone waller, is preparing for rebuilding the ha-ha. It's a big job and Nigel is doubtful they'll do it all in two days. Eric assures him that, once they get the hang of it, the wall will go up surprisingly quickly. There are about eight volunteers today, including Mike and Neil, and Eric gives them a lesson in how to achieve a uniform 'batter line'. Nigel's pleased at how Eric has worked round the badger sett.
Nigel wishes Hayley could be there to help, but she and Roy are preparing to move out when the builders start next week. Nigel's not impressed at the poky little flat Caroline's letting them have at Grey Gables
Mike shows Susan an IOU that Phoebe's been given, and wants to exchange it in the shop. Lynda informs Susan that the swap club is in danger. More and more IOUs are in circulation and it's really embarrassing. Susan refuses to take any responsibility but she's clearly upset, and tells Neil that Lynda's making it out to be her fault. Neil tries to assure her it's simply teething troubles. It'll sort itself out and he doesn't want Susan to let it get her down.
