Alan gets a job working on Mark Fowler's fruit and veg stall but neglects to inform the job centre that he is working, committing benefit fraud. The market inspector, Richard Cole, informs the job centre and Alan loses his benefits. This starts a feud between Alan and Richard. Alan even has to be restrained by Carol from beating Richard up when he accuses Alan of a local crime.
