Series 4, Episode 4 - The Lunch Problem
Amidst rising prices, the girls demand a 'London food allowance' added to their wages, or a subsidised canteen. Eventually Fenner relents and allows them to have an eating area in the workshop to bring food from home, but when he takes a potential client out to lunch they take a few liberties!
