Who will they send? How will that person know exactly what to pick up, without a very detailed list (the frilly pink knickers, not the ones with braiding, and the black ones. But not the black ones with the hole)? Wouldn't it be easier for the departee to pick their own stuff up when the other person in the house is out?”

I suppose this is an effort to explain the absence of luggage even when they are heading off with just a handbag, often to the other side of the world.

The music in any pub will automatically stop when there is a big row or fight going on

When there's an accident or big disaster no one is ever proper scarred or maimed for life
Now I understand why, because it would be difficult for the actors and make up department, but even if someone is in a wheelchair for a bit they either leave the show or miraculously learn to walk again.
And I suppose watching someone cope with terrible injuries is not really in the scope of a 30 minute soap but it just seems with all these disasters it's a bit binary - they either die or survive relatively unscathed

The ability to arrange a wedding with a few weeks' notice on Christmas Day. Because the vicar won't be busy.

Come to that, the fact that nobody ever spends a year or more planning their wedding like most people in the real world, the whole shebang is organised within a month or two. And if the bride is pregnant, they won't arrange their nuptials around this, oh no siree. Name the day right slap bang in the middle of the possible birthing window, that's a good idea...

Apart from Chris Tate. Possibly the one soap character ever not to submit to miracle healing.
