My internet soap where no one in the street really talks to each other because in reality no street knows everyone in it, there is no pub as they are shutting everywhere, there is no laundrette as everyone in my soap has their own washing machine, everyone goes to work outside the area they live in and no one in the same street has an affair.

And I bet everyone gives birth in hospital with their partner present, rather than a taxi/beach/church with their partner in another country/stuck somewhere without mobile coverage.

And if people want a cup of tea they have it at home rather than pay for one at the cafe three doors down..and they spend their evenings watching soaps like we do

Is there a massive Asda a short drive away that has forced the closure of the local corner shop?

Oh, and I suppose everyone actually knows who their biological parents are.
And the street they live on is clogged up with parking.

The police don't turn up every week, trams don't fall off viaducts, houses don't burn down every month either.

And don't forget - if there's a wedding....it goes ahead without any trouble and everyone enjoys the reception!

The same applies to Christmas dinners - all the family congregate together.....and errmmm have a good time

Also residents cars are parked outside their property and they don't just magically disappear and reappear when the storyline calls for it.

I take it there is no LGBT presence in the street - and no-one has seen the inside of a courthouse or prison cell either

And when there is a wedding, I don't think the entire street should turn up either. Just close friends and family. Not the guy two doors down that you see occasionally on the way to work or when you put the bins out.

There's a wedding in the street every 5 years not every 5 months

You will only see long lost relatives who you have previously never mentioned at weddings and family gatherings. They won't just turn up on your doorstep, ask to move in and recognise you instantly even though the last time they saw you was when you were a baby.

On the rare occasions that the residents have secrets to keep, they don't leave their mobiles lying around where they can be discovered by the wronged party.

And Dad gets indigestion and Mum says: "There's a new roll of Setlers in the bathroom cabinet. That'll teach you to wolf your food, Ron!"

Someone pops into Greggs for a breakfast slice instead of hanging about in a caff.

An Argos catalogue in plain view during a household kitchen or living room scene.

Mary's clothes washing storyline reaches a gripping and horrifying climax when a red sock finds its way into her whites.
