It's just a small thing (to some maybe!) but tonight I noticed the new neon sign in the cafe window reading "Cindy's" - this has been made/installed over the past week, because before that, the neon sign read "Mandy's" with a sprayed board over it saying "Cindy's"

So the question is, WHY has Ian (supposedly) paid for a new neon light saying Cindy? It was renamed that by Lucy to show Ian she was in charge/make her mark. Surely the first thing Ian would have done is put back the original "Kathy's" sign as a tribute to his mum, not waste money he hasn't got on a tribute to a woman he hates?

Again it's a small point but why wasn't this written into the script? Why hasn't anyone said "Ian, why have you paid good money for a new sign dedicated to a woman you hate?" etc.

Why have the BBC wasted more money on 2 neon signs (one for the studio one or the lot) when it should never have been? Again, lazy script writing/continuity - like we wouldn't notice!!

Bring back Kathy's!!! As a tribute to Gillian Taylforth they could re-name it all together as The Gobbler

It should definitely be called "Kathy's" again, now Ian's back in charge he should change it back in memory of his lovely mum. Kathy loved the place and used to own it, Cindy hated the cafe and only briefly worked there very begrudgingly. Kathy would be beaming with pride that her little empire is still going strong, Cindy would be embarrassed her name was associated with Ian's "greasy spoon". As for Lucy changing it in the first place it was surely only to wind Ian up. Back in 90s Kathy was more of a mother to Lucy than Cindy was the girl should have more respect for her dear departed granny!

Exactly, so why have the production team off screen had Ian buy/have made a neon light with her name on? It's stupid & out of character - first thing he'd have done is dug out the old Kathy sign - i've been waiting for months or him to do it
