Plot[]
As a reward for being at Grace Brothers for 20 years, Captain Peacock is presented with a special medal by the staff, as well as the privilege of using both the execute dining room and wash room. Mr. Grainger makes it clear that he has wanted these privileges as well. During this same meeting, the staff are informed that their lunch hour is going to be moved one hour ahead so that they can take advantage of customers coming in during lunchtime, which none of the staff are looking forward to. The staff (particularly Mr. Grainger) set out to get their lunch hour changed back to normal by phoning the factory inspector, however this ends up causing other changes as well.
