Further details
Stan's love life and early shifts just don't mix; late nights out with his girlfriend mean he continually sleeps in and is late for his early shifts at work.
Arthur, meanwhile, is fed up getting woken up by Stan's alarm and decides to do something about it, whilst at the depot Blakey is waiting to catch Stan arriving late. Even Jack can't save him when he climbs in through the ladies' toilet window in a bid to avoid the Inspector - will it cost him his job?
