Are we really expected to believe that Phil Mitchell would meet a bloke he has never met and accept a bag load of money in exchange for the keys to the Vic?
Likewise would anyone hand over bundles of cash for a key?
There couldn't have been any paperwork involved as Phil was intending to sell to Janine an hour earlier & it was Xmas day.
It was the same on Corrie when Steve bought Lloyd out of Streetcars. Within a couple of days Lloyd had found a new business, had all new women drivers and signs made for the tops of the cars!
