This isn't true.

The Mitchells, Patrick, Max and Tanya have their own washing machines.

Both Max and Bradley had jobs outside the square, and Masala Masood is elsewhere too.

I thought they changed that years ago... I don't think it has anything to do with magistrates anymore.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember that when the licensing laws were changed, to bring in later drinking, etc, they took the authority to grant and revoke alcohol licences away from magistrates and gave it to local councils - making it easy to revoke licenses quickly for troublesome venues.

Bad me , you have to apply to the local Licensing Board , it still takes a while

They may have their own washing machines, but they still trudge to the launderette most of the time. Max and Bradley did have jobs outside the Square, but they were breaking the rules of EE by working elsewhere, they had to find work in the market, car lot, caff, pub etc., just like everyone else.

1. Bradley, Max and Stacey being best buddies

2. The DCI hanging around Walford 24/7

What..?

Actually I've only seen her there for half an hour a day and 4 days a week

So what, all "soaps" suspend reality 100%.

I like them to have some kind of internal logic, though. Bramacey as bezzies is just ludicrous. These characters don't forgive anyone a funny look given in 1993, how these 3 can apparently have forgotten their past - actually it's annoying, because it just says 'shovel these viewers any old poop, they'll swallow it'.

Ronnie as a Hell's Angel

The fact that the pub has a "Menu" board, yet there is no kitchen or evidence of anyone cooking in there (or eating in there, for that matter...)

The fact that the Vic stereo suddenly goes on the blink at the exact moment an argument kicks off

The fact that some of the most illiterate women in the world are in a book club and manage to read 400-page novels in a week, as well as holding down jobs and their other dramas

Janine using the Vic phone after over-hearing that Ronnie had gone on the trot.

I thought that too! It was the most random thing ever. Doesn't she have a mobile? And she was hardly discreet about the whole thing - she shrieked like a banshee.

Thats not suspension of reality, thats just excellent TV .


How exactly are Jane, Zainab and Denise illiterate? Also, they never read the novels, I don't think, who does in book clubs .

Denise isn't the brightest tool in the box. But I was mostly referring to Heather and Shirley, who often struggle to string sentences together...

ugh - can you imagine eating food cooked at the Vic?

What's on the menu? Pie and mash? Boiled beef and carrots? Mrs Lovett's pies?

haha like it me too

no worse than maccys d,s

And why are they always so busy preparing food at Masala Queen? Surely they don't have functions to cater for in the middle of the week, every week? Unless they prepare the food for the weekend functions WELL in advance...

They sell it on the market stall. Like you do.....

the fake cat squeal that came from the cat transporter when Manda picked it up.

Sharpest lol

DCI Marsden explaining every last detail of the case and what she's planning to do in front of a packed pub full of random people.
