Further details
If things aren't already bad enough with Mum and Olive bed-ridden with flu - leaving Stan and Arthur to cater for the invalids - they are about to get worse! Arthur also falls victim to the bug and Stan is left to shop, cook and wash-up for the family alone, as well as drive his bus all day. Some relief may be on the horizon as the family plan to visit Aunt Maud but surely it won't be as simple as that for Stan?
