More deserving than the other soap Barbara.

Barbara Knox International Airport also has a nice ring to it.

Ooh yes

Who'd want to crash-land into her base, though?

Manchester - they could have a mock up "kabin" in her honour!

I met Barbara Knox once when she opened Thorntons near my home - nice lady - Knight her straight away alongside Anne Kirkbride.

Now, now. There is absolutely no similarity between MY lifestyle (tight-fisted, money-grabbing old soak) and that of the woman who just happens to look like me. Though I hear she's doing a roaring trade in the look-a-like business when people can't afford my services to open these things. Hardly my fault they pay less than that burglar alarm costs. Oh, I nearly had a seizure then. Did yer all notice? I'll whip crackaway me peasant if he carries on like this. Where were I? Oh yeah. Well if they won't cough up a zillion quid appearance fee plus all the booze I can guzzle then they're fools. But there's no accounting for taste. Except vodka that is!

Yes the choccy shop.....she had a great big plate of chocs on the table too!

After signing a photo for me, she signed my "Kabin" postcard from the Granada Studio Tours...she asked if Id enjoyed the set tour, then I stood there filming her for 10 minutes until she said right you've had your fill,off you go

Classy Woman
