Someone pushing a buggy round with hood up etc so baby (Jake I think) entirely invisible but the buggy was clearly empty when they moved it. How hard would it be to put a bag of spuds in to weight it to look realistic.
It's always buggedd me when they use substitute babies on TV and they are as stiff as a board. How hard would it be to make a weighted, floppy cloth baby shape (doesn't have to be remotely accurate) with a decent head on.
Annoys me when they "drink" from cups that are obviously quite empty.
It annoys me that actors, even those who have been pregnant in their real lives, stick their stomachs out and arch their backs to prise them selves up from sitting in a most ungainly way. Pregnant women do NOT stand up tummy first!!!
So when Carla took her car in and was told it would take ages, she said she'd get a cab home.
Later on, the mechanic walked her home.
Eh?
I thought she said she only had one meeting that day and would "get a cab". Doesn't she still live in Barlow the Boozer's flat, after throwing him out?

The way they make Steve stupid you wouldn't think he has been running Street Carsfor 14-years. As if it wasn't for Michelle the business would collapse.

Yes the pram looked empty. I would have thought Jake would have been either sitting up in the pram or at least visible.

But how old is her car? Work like sorting out "a click when going to fifth" would most likely invalidate any remaining warranty, surely? Is this the sort of job that such a small garage could do? But, equally, wouldn't Carla, (being ever so sensible ), have some sort of service/repair arrangement with the Dealer - even more so if it's a "Company Car". Clumsy plot device.
And what was he doing on the 63 Alfa? That's another warranty gone unless it was something like checking the oil

I noticed that - the oldest the car could be (apart from an extremely unlikely re-registration scenario) is 10 months. Given a choice of two courses of action :
1. Give the car to a non-specialist, possibly unqualified, mechanic in a back street tiny garage. Who, if it needs parts, will have to go to the main dealer. And will charge you for the time that takes on top of any work done. And you'll have to pay for any parts. And it'll invalidate the warranty.
2. Take it to a main dealer, with qualified and trained mechanics and specialised tools. Who may even pick it up and deliver it, and/or supply a courtesy car. With no charge.
Ditto to the above two posts, I also commented to my OH about the (lack of) likelihood of Carla taking her car to the garage next door
Can't recall what she drives at present, but it's sure to not be an old, or cheap, car and thus would most likely be under warranty. Even more likely is that it's on contract which would mean that all service issues would have to be carried out by the main dealer - and as said above, they'd have a courtesy car
Hope this clumsy plot device isn't to set up a very unlikely relationship between Carla and whatever his name is!
My VW garage charges for a courtesy car - AND it's got about as much advertising as Piccadilly Circus; so when necessary, we come home on the bus, and go back later, (using our old gits' cards, of course )

When I had a Hyundai they didn't charge me for a courtesy car. Unfortunately it was in mid November. I filled the tank for a trip to Newcastle, and the next morning there was a foot of snow, nothing was moving. A week later, my car was ready, and I had to return it with a full tank!
A few weeks later, my car went back to the garage, and I was given the same courtesy car - by this time the tank was empty again. But no charge for the car either time.

When I took my car for a service and MOT I was given a courtesy car, the petrol guage was on empty but I risked driving it home and then back to the garage to fetch my car, it just made it.:D

... having accepted the cup without using the handle - despite its heat.

reminds me of that yogurt ad with Denise van outen, where she sucks the spoon then speaks immediately so it's pretty obvious she hasn't eaten anything

Yes!
Hardly a cab ride away!
I love it (I'm 29 with no children - it's all for my own entertainment). It's actually less repetitive than Corrie as well
She didn't say she'd get a cab home, she said she only had one meeting and could take a cab. Presumably she meant she'd take a cab to the meeting.
I think she looks like a pigeon. She could advertise pigeon pie or pigeon food.

Mind you, it was a tiny, tiny car which made taking three dogs out for a country walk interesting!
They're on a lunar calendar, so Ramadan's dates change every year.
Thanks ... but I wasn't being too serious. Not to mention a subtle dig at the real meaning of Christmas.
