* TheExtremistWasRight: ''Extremist'' is going too far, but John comes off as a massive jobsworth in episode 1 for his criticism of Ted 1 pushing too many trolleys - with Kayleigh clearly thinking that he is overreacting. Then in episode 2, not only is he is proven completely right, but he is the man the store turns to when they need their trolley safety policy rewritten. In fairness however, Kayleigh does acknowledge this.
