Plot hole: Rodney follows Denzil all the way to Hull. However, it's established that Rodney is a fair distance behind Denzil several miles at least. How is it that Rodney knows exactly where Denzil has gone? He doesn't know Denzil's destination as he says to Del "he must have a load to pick up".

Plot hole: Del says that Rodney needs to sort his priorities out about being Chairman of the Housing Committee or working the pitch. However Rodney never tells Del he is chairman (he is made chairman at the meeting in the morning and goes to find Del after the meeting as shown by the same clothes, and Del asking where he was).

Suggested correction: In the 1st scene of the episode, when Rodney is getting ready for the tenants' meeting, he asks Del if he is still coming, and Del replies that he's not because he is 'going out with that little waitress I blagged from the Pizza Palace'. So the 4hrs he was on the stall must be a different occasion to when Rodney attended the tenants' meeting, and the meeting was likely in the evening. From lines in other episodes, Rod doesn't own many clothes, so the fact he is wearing the same suit is to be expected.
Agreed, the scene in the market took place at least the following day or a couple of days later. The meeting was in the evening. Trigger went 'down there' (i.e. the pub) with Baz at the end of it.

Plot hole: Del and Rodney find the nuclear shelter and decided to try it out. They then do a couple of runs to find the best place to build it. We then see the pair inside the nuclear shelter which they have built, filled with stuff like a bed, food batteries etc. all in one afternoon. (00:11:45)

Suggested correction: No reference is made to what day it is. There is nothing to suggest that the practice run and the scene inside the bunker happen on the same day.
Apart from all of them wearing the exact same outfits, Del mentioning that it needs to be back on the building site by Monday when having a weekend to try it out. All points to it taking place over the course of a day from the start of the episode to the end.
When Del refers to "it" being back on the building site by Monday morning, he is actually referring to the chemical toilet that he's acquired. He is not referring to the shelter as this was under a pile of bricks on a demolition site not a building site. Del has already assumed ownership of the shelter due to finding it under the pile of bricks he has purchased.
