After moving into No11, the Claytons turned the front room into
a work room so that Connie could run her dressmaking business.
Jack Duckworth bought his wife
Vera a dress length of silver
lurex and Connie took on the job of producing a dress that 'will
make Joan Collins look like a lollipop lady'. Vera was not happy
with the results and whilst Connie agreed that the dress looked
a right mess on her, she insisted that it fitted properly and
was worth the £45 fee but Jack and Vera refused to pay and
a feud developed between the families. The fighting between the
families was ruining Terry Duckworth's
romance with Andrea Clayton
and so he tried to pay the bill for his mother, but Connie refused
to accept his money. The feud over the dress was soon forgotten
though, when Andrea announced that she was pregnant by Terry.
Connie stood by her daughter and agreed to look after the baby
while Andrea attended university. After Vera started announcing
her own plans for her new grandchild, the family did a moonlight
flit and disappeared from the area entirely.
