Synopsis

Stan Oddbin, the world's most famous, and lazy, window cleaner, has dragged himself away from propping up the bar in the Rovers to make a guest appearance in the pages of C&VG.

The thing is, Stan is in a tricky position right now. It's opening time and Stan's dying for a drink at the pub, but Hilda's gone and spent all his money on silly little things like the rent and some food - can you believe it?

The only thing in Hilda s purse is a food voucher which, if Stan can take it without her noticing, he can exchange it for some money and meet his mates down at the Rovers. And who's going to cash the voucher?

Can you help Stan find his way to the boozer before closing time or will he be collared by Hilda and forced to do all those little odd jobs round the house which he has neglected for the past 15 years?
