    If you have held a secret all year, it will be revealed on Christmas Day

    If you have 5 enemies or more, at some point you will be attacked by an unknown assailant

    Weddings are the best venues for disasters or revelations

    It will snow every Christmas

    Siblings will always steal eachothers partners at some point

    you will never need the toilet

    It is normal to spend your entire social life in the same pub every lunchtime and evening

    Whenever you have a row or a public announcement, the pub's music will stop for you

    Anyone that says this will be the best xmas ever/nothing can possibly go wrong or something along those lines is destined for disaster

    Women drink white wine
    Men drink beer
    If they don't drink alcohol, it's orange juice
    If they're an alcoholic it's red wine
    If they are in a cafe it's coffee
    If they are at home it's tea

    There are no other drinks.

    Contraception is non-existent whenever there is an affair or one-night stand

    If you're Phil Mitchell, you would continually lord it over people, get away with various crimes and have women find you irresistible (and punch above your weight with most of them)

    Long-term characters always survive much-hyped disasters

    Physical contact and kissing between same-sex couples are kept to a bare minimum

    A huge secret/revelation must be revealed in a crowded pub

    If you're giving birth in a delivery suite then you're doing it wrong. Suitably approved venues include remote cottages, lay-bys, the back of a taxi or even a public house. Don't count on being assisted by the father of your child unless you've yet to tell him he's the daddy, in which case he'll show up to help every time.

    Jobs are easy to come by and you can usually see your workplace from your bedroom window, but it's a simple matter to arrange a week's employment in the Middle East if you need to briefly make yourself scarce while still earning.

    Expect to see female friends of child-bearing age mysteriously trying to hide their middles for months at a time with clumsily placed handbags or teatowels. This is nothing more than an attempt to disguise latent criminal tendencies and can be cured by a short, sharp spell in prison.

    Drugs? Just say 'Yes'. In exchange for a fortnight of misery (which you will be too out of your tree to remember anyway), you will immediately be rewarded with two thriving businesses, a comfortable new home and a bulging wallet.

    if you cheat on your partner you will get pregnant.

    If you can't have your own kids your partner will cheat on you and get someone else pregnant. This is more likely to happen if they cheat on you with your sister, best friend or arch enemy.

    If you confess to a crime, or confide a secret, it will get recorded.

    if you have a baby, childcare is no problem. Your social life will remain exactly the same.

    There are no tabloids or 24-hr rolling news channels in Soapworld.

    Or if there are they have virtually total blindspots and complete collective amnesia concerning the sensational lives (and deaths) of the inhabitants of certain tightly knit communities in certain backstreets, squares and villages, stretching back twenty, thirty even fifty years.

    Nobody watches the soaps.
    Nobody owns a kettle/toaster/microwave and pops to the nearby cafe for a cup of tea and a sandwhich even if they live across the road.
    Twenty and thirty year olds continue to live with their parents.
    Never mentioned before relatives suddenly pop up.
    A tiny terraced house has up to 27 bedrooms.
    Improving your lot in life is the ultimate sin.
