Summary[]
Spanner was on his way to work at Biggott's Wharf and saw Sharon opening up her mobile café. Spanner asked for a cup of tea just as Wilton Cashmore arrived in his new red car and told Sharon he wanted to park where she was as Biggott's were truing that area into a car park. Spanner wanted to know who would cook his dinner and tea if the café had to move. Sharon rushed off to see Mr. Biggott followed by Wilton who shouted to Spanner to clean the place up and make a bonfire. Fiona and Ravi were walking along the towpath and decided to play a game of pirates. They knew there were some poles and a tarpaulin near Sharon's Café and they were going to build a house. As they pulled the tarpaulin Spanner sat up. He told them about Sharon and the parking lot and remembered Sharon had told him to make his own tea. The café was looked but Spanner could reach a pan of sausages through the window. He put wood in the brazier and lit a fire to cook the sausages. Fiona said it was too near her dad's car and Sharon's van. Spanner said he knew what he was doing but burnt his hand on the sausages as he jumped up and down he knocked the brazier over and the fire began to spread. Ravi thought fire was dangerous and wished Josh was there. Joshua Jones was tying up Delilah at Biggott's Wharf when he saw the smoke and heard angry voices coming from the office "Fire" he yelled and started Delilah's engine Spanner was panicking and shouting "Fire!" as it got nearer to Sharon's van and Wilton's car. Joshua Jones stopped and unloaded traffic cones from Delilah he asked everyone to from a chain as he filled each cone with water. Spanner passed a cone to Wilton and splashed him he then tried to tip the rest of it over Spanner. Fiona shouted "the fire!" At last the fire was out and everyone was exhausted. Josh said they should call the Fire Brigade to make sure it didn't flare up again. Fiona said "hooray we saved the café". Wilton said "and my car which is more important". Sharon said it was all his fault but Wilton blamed Spanner. He was just going to throw some water at Spanner when he tripped over Delilah's Mooring rope and dropped the cone. Sharon giggled and said why don't I make us all a cup of tea?
