And why would someone want one?? I'd rather have a holiday somewhere super luxurious than a piece of jewellery that I'd be scared of wearing in case I got robbed!

if it is an engagement ring, then traditionally it should cost one month salary
Carla and Peter - Corrie
totally agree: I only ever wore a £10 watch to work, and when on holiday leaving my dad's pre-war Omega at home, safely, for special occasions.
According to whom? I've never heard of this tradition!
But then I am a grumpy old so-and-so who finds it difficult to understand why anyone would spend thousands on rings and even more thousands on weddings. Especially on Corrie where - if the wedding goes ahead at all - the marriage will last hardly any time at all.
I hated that scene, Carla seeming so greedy, salivating over a stupidly expensive ring while Peter has just ruined his business and she's rescuing him financially. She had just been presented so sympathetically with Hayley, and there she was being shallow and materialistic.
Bit weird really how Carla was kind of like trying to persuade Peter to go the extra mile as it was the one she wanted -
then ended up actually paying for it herself - not sure if anyone else noticed that
- bet that bill comes back to haunt Carla down the line yeah :-)
If only *sighs*
Most of the time she spent barely looking at Peter in the shop while he stood there with his frown tripping him.
It illustrated brilliantly how Carla views Peter as her latest accessory and is relishing toying with him and taking advantage of his passivity to turn him into her model obedient husband/poodle, while he is in a permanent sulky catatonic state and looks like a lobotomised fly in the web of the preying mantis.:)
You're clearly not engaged to Carla, who not only wants a massively expensive piece of bling, but expects the luxury holiday as well.
To be fair to her, she will be paying for both. :rolleyes:
Why not? Because she has in no way taken into account Peter's feelings, and has made him feel totally inadequate, which is why no way in a month of Sundays will this marriage work and why he should (and eventually will) be back with Leanne. :cool:
If I had the money then why not but I properly would rather spend it on a holiday or something else each to their own but considering Peter was crying poverty last week, Carla's a bit high maintenance.
So in Peter's case he has to find a ring that costs minus35K
£4500 for a ring, bloody hell. Mine was £250 from Sri Lanka
This can't be true. Even if they did need to pawn a ring, surely they would take it someone else??
Do you have any source for this please?
I know they will have to find storylines for the new second-hand shop, (eg, Audreh's sudden money problems), but I didn't know anything had been released yet?
Good point. "Peter" and "inadequate" go together like a horse and carriage. Salt and pepper. Fish and chips. Mo and Alice.
That is the last place they would take it. also, wouldn't they make far more by selling it privately.
Diamonds are a girls best friend. She knew what she was doing :cool:
She'll be ready for Peter after he's been sanded and spray painted in dulux gold paint.
I can't wait to see it.
Peter can't
