Lloyd answering the phone at Streetcars, when Leanne came in to book a cab. The "conversation" last 8 seconds (yup, I ran it back and timed it! ) and went like this:-
Lloyd: Streetcars
(2 second pause)
Lloyd: Certainly madam, where to?
(1 second pause)
Lloyd: Yup, we'll be there, thank you
How could the person on the other end of the phone possibly have been able to have identified themselves (and we didn't get the impression he knew who it was from the "madam" bit) let alone been able to tell him where they wanted picking up from/taking to?
To go for a job outside the street? :o:o
Leanne should work in the Rovers and get with Steve. They would have good chemistry. Leanne can become Carla's bessie mate again. They don't need Michelle for Carla's side-kick. Why would Carla and Michelle be mates anyway? Carla had a hand in the deaths of both of Michelle's brothers.
They can give the charisma-free zone that is Michelle Connor the boot.
Jason seems to be in a position to start the loft conversion this week.
No plans, no drawings just a couple of conversations and away we go
I thought he would need planning permission but seems you dont.
Key Points
Providing you meet the criteria (see 'Do I need Planning Permission' tab) you can enlarge your loft by up to 40 cubic metres in the case of a terraced house and 50 cubic metres in the case of a semi-detached and detached house without the need for planning permission.
With roof alterations, the emphasis is very much on appearance and this is reflected in the above criteria. Materials used have to be similar to the existing, the alteration cannot exceed the height of the existing roof and you cannot introduce a veranda, balcony or raised platform into the scheme without it needing planning permission.

You missed a condition.
"Roof extensions are not permitted in: Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty"
I wonder how soon we'll have the extension-warming party? I hope Jason can slow it down enough so it'll be done by Bank Holiday; on the other hand (as is likely in Corrieland) it'll be done by the week after next - or forgotten about altogether

PPPS How about a visit from the Health Inspectors?
I think on the night of the 1998 World Cup final they had an episode which included scenes of the regulars watching it in the Rovers, which were either done live or on the day.
The one where Rita nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Lloyd says Streetcars have a dozen cabs driving around Weatherfield 24/7.
So if all 12 cabs happen to be on the go at one time - who drives them? We only ever see Lloyd or Steve driving and that is during daytime hours. Michael and Eileen are not employed as drivers and only do the switch during daytime hours.
Fat Brenda is never seen , so what part does she play in the staff rota?
How do night time calls get processed? Perhaps automated transfer of calls to Steve or Lloyd's mobiles? Sleep tight guys is all I can say.
Parking spaces for 12 cabs? We could assume that there are a few self employed drivers with their own vehicles which may explain where they park a few cabs but not all.
Maddie does a bit of valet work on cabs so why doesn't Tyrone get given a bit of maintenance work?
Lloyd is seen working away at switch while Steve lounges on his arse playing games on his phone and makes no attempt to assist Leanne in obtaining a taxi. And you thought Rob was good at swinging the lead. Is this how he contends with the running of Streetcars and also The Rovers as a second business? He is as useless and idle as the campervan he bought!

And why do we never see any of the mysterious as yet unseen drivers coming in and out of the cab office? A rule of Corrie seems to be; use as few extras as possible and then mainly in the Rovers.
EE is always buzzing with extras and traffic etc. By comparison, Corrie looks like belongs in The Twilight Zone. Unreal.
And he's flying over the place where Rob is digging up the murder weapon!
'Appen SuperKen will solve Tina's murder. As Rob digs it up, SuperKen and his Superdog Krypto, commonly known in Corrie as Eccles, will be out for a walk when they espy the said Rob. SuperKen and his dog will immediately be be alerted that the fiend is up to no good...........
Exactly what I thought, he's been in there a few weeks now and has shown no signs of withdrawl, then suddenly he has the shakes >:(
Have to say I'm not a fan of Jim. His accent annoys me (apologies to anyone from Northern Ireland ) and he's not the greatest actor. I assume he'll only be on the show for a short while, whilst Peter is in.
He just bores me. And if he gets out, it will be "on/off" with LIz again. Which we've done for years and years.....

SpiderKen, SpiderKen,
Does whatever a spider can
Sees the murderer and glares his eyes
He's decrepit but he is wise.....!

Doesn't Fat Brenda do the night shift on the switch?
Oh, there's more where that came from!
Is it a bird? is it a plane?
No. It's SuperKen

Unseen Fat Brenda is just a copy of EE's unseen Fat Elvis just like Deirdre's stuffed marrow is copied from Jean Slater's sausage surprise.
Probably just a storyline to bring in Jim. Yawn.

Andrea and Lloyd back together........surprise, surprise who spots them first outside!
I refer you to my post 7395!
Was that advert only shown in the North West as I don't recall it being shown here in the Midlands?
She did say the:kitty:y were still at the test stage. Cant believe they had Jim say so it is (twice) and The big house in his first scene
