35----
36!!This show has examples of:
37
38* AmbiguouslyGay: Andy. But only with a gun to his head of course.
39* BitchInSheepsClothing: Julie.
40* BritishBrevity: The first season consists of eight episodes. According to WordOfGod, the forthcoming second and third seasons will contain thirteen episodes each.
41* CanNotSpitItOut: Julie towards Gavin, who is apparently [[ObliviousToLove oblivious to her feelings for him]], and Kieran and Katie towards each other.
42** [[spoiler: Julie finally breaks in the 2013 ChristmasEpisode when she mistakes Gavin encouraging her to take a new job as asking her out, and they kiss. She later tells everyone at their Christmas Dinner, and runs off crying.]]
43* CloudCuckooLander: Margaret.
44* CringeComedy: Fairly often. Julie's work interview is by far the best example.
45* TheDitz: Leighton.
46* {{Jerkass}}: Colin, who is so lazy, rude and unhelpful to customers it's a wonder he managed to get employed at Valco. Julie also falls into this territory on a regular basis.
47* OffScreenBreakup: Keiran begins Series 3 living with his parents after his [[spoiler: divorce with Emma]]
48* PutOnABus: Andy and Kieran in Series 3
49* ThePollyanna: Leighton.
50* TooMuchInformation: Lisa ''loves'' this trope.
51* UnresolvedSexualTension: Kieran and Katie, in ''spades''. The only thing stopping them from getting together is the fact that Kieran already has a girlfriend [[spoiler:(and later fiancée)]], who is incredibly controlling of him.
52* UnsatisfiableCustomer: Surprisingly rare considering the setting, but this does pop up occasionally.
