The Anniversary Waltz

Everyone Andy knows is urging him to do something special for his and Flo's 25th anniversary, but he's not bothered about it, even when all of the bill collectors forfeit this month's payments so that he has the money to really celebrate, but he refuses. He takes Flo to the pub, where she gets so angry that she jumps into the river at low tide.
