58. Christian church weddings, christenings and funerals will always be at a CofE church, never Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, United Reform...

59. No matter how new your car is, even if it's brand new and under warranty, you will get all faults repaired at Websters Autos, regardless of whether this invalidates your warranty. Also, if Kev and Co. can't fit you in to their hectic schedule, as there are no other garages you can possibly use, you'll just have to leave the car and get a cab (from Street Cars of course).

60. People who are upset will always find their way to the bench outside the salon, and will generally end up pouring their heart out to a resident they've barely spoken to before or one who was previously their enemy (this isn't unique to Weatherfield though, same thing happens with Arthur's Bench in Walford)


Often as soon as the food and/or drink has arrived, without them even tasting it.


55a. You need no kind of training to work behind a bar, anyone can pull a pint and change a barrel (unless Steve's around, in which case only Steve can change a barrel and will be nagged by his mother and/or wife until he does).


Once a new shop/business opens in Weatherfield, all the shops/businesses offering the same service within a mile radius must close.

(looks like) 61
The street's resident builder will nearly always "get the job"; on the rare occasion that he doesn't, the job will be royally screwed up, so said resident builder will sort it out. No charge.
Now, a REAL s.o.r. would be for Jason to get the Freshco rebuild, and which will be priced on the back of an old envelope and come in early and under budget

58a. No longer need to use a church. The Bistro will hold both wedding and the reception.

---

62. (probably been brought up) When having a wedding only invite the street, despite the fact most of them are arseholes and you never get along with them, but allow them to take advantage of the free bar at your expense. If you are lucky you are allowed maybe one family member outside the street to visit, but they will soon disappear and never keep in contact.

One thing that irks me is that Manchester's Irish Catholic heritage is not reflected at all on the show. It's estimated that as many as 35% of Mancunians are of Irish descent (including people like Morrissey and the Gallagher brothers of Oasis), but you'd never guess this on Corrie with all the English surnames and Church of England members.

The Connors have irish surnames.

Who always turn up in new clothes and posh hats. One might argue that the wedding outfits have been hired, so with the number of weddings why hasn't some one opened up a dress hire shop? (your next venture Tracey)

Whatever happened to Amy learning the violin? Another forgotton story, such a pity as it was so riveting

Whatever happened to the save Maddie's graffiti wall protest which spawned that classic line 'Don't tell him Craig,' from Sally when the council bloke asked Craig his name? Was that ever resolved?

I see it's coming along nicely.

02. You must like drinking alcohol day and night in the Rovers Return pub.
03. You must only go out for meals to the Bistro.
04. You must have your hair done at Audrey's salon.
05. If anyone in your family becomes ill no matter how
distant a relative they are, no matter how trivial the
illness is, no matter how far away they are [including
abroad] you must drop everything and go and convalesce them until they are better, and you must do this for up to two years at any given time.
06. If you want a taxi you must use Street Cars.
07. You must eat breakfast in Roy's cafe. even though you might live just 30 yards away.
08. If you need a plumber you must use Jason Grimshaw.
09. You must let Kevin Webster sort out all your car problems.
10. Male or female you must have had nookie with at least 4 of your neighbours.
11. You must be admitted to the private room at Weatherfield General at least once.
12. When the hospitalised person is diagnosed by a doctor you must become aggressive with the doctor and demand to know which each medical term means.
13. Leave your children to roam the streets until the script requires an appearance.
14. You must walk into a room when someone is talking about you.
15. If your name is Anna Windass you must have carrots with everything.
16. If you are a boss you have a large clipboard.
17. If you are about to have sex, you must run upstairs together giggling.
18. If your partner is having an affair (which they will) you must reveal it to everyone in the Rovers.
19. If you are having a feud or a problem with someone, they will appear as soon as you leave the house.
20. If you are female, you will be guaranteed to be pregnant after a one night stand. You will do a pregnancy test and leave it at the top of a dustbin in someone's kitchen.
21. All children will be mute until puberty where upon the will disappear for a month then come back as a totally different child with different hair colour, size, attitude, and quite possibly different skin tone and gender and nobody will notice.
22. If you are going on a cake run from the factory, where a fair number of staff work, you must collect only a very small box of cakes.
23. If you own a car you must not park it on Coronation Street; which begs the question where on earth do you park it?
24. If someone phones you about something really, really urgent you must either not hear your phone ringing, ignore it ringing or have it turned off.
25. When choosing between your friend or partner you have known for years or someone you have known for five minutes, you must always choose the five minute friend. Even if a similar incident happened years ago you have to conveniently forget it.
26. When someone comes to you and says "Listen, I need to tell you something really, really important", you must talk over them about something incredibly fripperous and unimportant, keeping interrupting them until such a time as someone else appear in the scene, a someone else about whom the original important thing relates. At this point you stop talking and say "What was it you wanted to tell me?" and the first person says "Oh, nothing"
27. When you are admitted to the private room in Weathy General you must have tubes shoved up your nose. Even if you only have a sore toe.
28. You must have relatives that you have never ever mentioned to your neighbours who will one day just spring up from nowhere and plonk themselves on you along with the rest of their clan.
29. If you go on holiday and meet a new partner you must bring them back to the street where they will find out they are the relative of someone who lives on the street.
30. If you get married and want to have a baby, you won't be able to get pregnant. Unless you have a one night stand with someone else which guarantees an instant pregnancy. Although cheaper than fertility treatment, be advised it can impact your relationship.
31. After successfully conceiving a baby (probably unplanned & the result of an affair/ONS because no one in soap bothers to "put something on the end of it" as Jeremy Kyle says) u will give birth early & in about 10 minutes with no time to get to a hospital. The baby will be delivered by either your sworn enemy or the baby's father (who isn't your husband). Once the baby is born it will become ill or injured at some point & need hospital treatment, whereupon the true paternity will be revealed. After this the baby will be placed in the storage closet with all the other children & forgotten about. They may make very occasional appearances where they will be mute & not move or act in any way like a normal child.
32. when the police are looking to arrest somebody they are able to track the straight down at a completely random place without doing any research,and seem to know the person even though they have never been in trouble before. Examples being Tracy Barlow in the Rovers and the doughy eyed guy that bribed Steph at some random pub.
33. Any bar or restaurant on the street will be short of staff at least once a week.
34. Normal working practices don't seem to apply to businesses in Weatherfield, if one of your employees wants to leave early for whatever reason (tired, injured dog, bored) then you must allow them to leave no questions asked.*
35. They must say cliched lines after doing certain activities e.g. when suffering from a hangover "I'm never drinking again"
36. Everyone's music taste is pop music and pop culture references in regards to music, celebrities etc.s are made all of the time instead of giving the characters some individuality.
37. When someone gets a job, there is no discussion about pay or hours of work.
38. The time of day and whether it's light or dark outside changes randomly throughout each episode.
39. Children go to school in the school holidays.
40. The men must get a team together and hold tedious sporting competitions such as football, crown green bowling, cricket and ping pong.
41. People willingly rush out of pubs or cafes without finishing their food or drinks.
42. You make arrangements to meet someone but never stipulate what time, merely 'I'll meet you at 'that fancy restaurant in town' tonight/tomorrow' etc.
43. Everybody who goes to a party always has the best gear, if it's a themed party they turn up looking like they've raided the nearest costume hire shop.
44. Gail must marry a wrong'un.
45. Michelle must look immaculate, whatever time of day, wherever. You must compliment her natural look.
46. Don't forget that (unless you are Tracy) you must always feel sorry for Carla, and pity her. Also throw in a compliment about how much of a successful businesswoman she is and how excellent she is at running Underworld, even though the business keeps failing, and she is a gambler, cheat and drunk.
47. Also, no matter how much lack of experience you have in running a business and may only have done small jobs like sitting behind the counter in Dev's shop reading a magazine or serving pints behind the bar of the Rovers, you can still get yourself a share in a business and run it without any problems. The only thing you need to do is carry a clipboard with you.
48. If a resident you have known for several years, or even over a decade tries to warn you about the latest weirdo who has settled down in the street and the fact he/she is a wrong 'un, never believe that neighbour. Only believe the wrong 'un you have known for all but 5 minutes and treat that person like your best friend ever.
49. If you lose your job, go and sit in the Rovers Return. You will be joined by either Liz or Michelle and when you mention how you are out of work they will mention how they need extra staff to cover some shifts.
50. If you are a barmaid at the Rovers Return and a customer annoys you, dump a pint over their head. Liz will be fine with this as you are "feisty" and the customer should have watched himself.
51. No matter how much you may hate Tracy Barlow, you should always go to her shop and give her your custom. And you must put up with her snide remarks. Don't think of doing something logical like go to another shop.
52. Christian church weddings, christenings and funerals will always be at a CofE church, never Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, United Reform...
53. No matter how new your car is, even if it's brand new and under warranty, you will get all faults repaired at Websters Autos, regardless of whether this invalidates your warranty. Also, if Kev and Co. can't fit you in to their hectic schedule, as there are no other garages you can possibly use, you'll just have to leave the car and get a cab (from Street Cars of course).
54. People who are upset will always find their way to the bench outside the salon, and will generally end up pouring their heart out to a resident they've barely spoken to before or one who was previously their enemy (this isn't unique to Weatherfield though, same thing happens with Arthur's Bench in Walford)
55. The street's resident builder will nearly always "get the job"; on the rare occasion that he doesn't, the job will be royally screwed up, so said resident builder will sort it out. No charge.
56. When having a wedding only invite the street, despite the fact most of them are arseholes and you never get along with them, but allow them to take advantage of the free bar at your expense. If you are lucky you are allowed maybe one family member outside the street to visit, but they will soon disappear and never keep in contact.
57. ?.

As mentioned by sorcha_healy27, the Connors are from an Irish background. We have seen Michelle's parents pay the occasional visit and they are Irish.

Fiz & Tyrone's place. Eugh, eww & yuk. 'orrible.

They are are still in debt though. Pigeon pie for tea again?!

Bad editing just there. Fiz was outside the florist talking to Mary and in the very next scene pops up in the garage with Tyrone. Clear time jump

Anna and Kevin go to eat at the bistro again and of course they bump into Phelan. I think Anna bumps into Phelan at least once an episode.

Wouldn't Audrey realistically go with Sarah and leave David at the salon to contact Gail and Kylie.

You should send that list to David Nugent at Corrie:

david.nugent@itv.com

I'm sure he'll be very interested/astounded at just how much viewers notice that they wish we hadn't.

57. When you are currently having a feud with someone you must see them when you next go into the local Pub and/or restaurant.
58. When you talk about someone in a gossipy way said person and/or their relative will walk into the room or business.

It was so obvious that once seated Anna and Phelan would pop up from behind a menu at the next table

Given Sarah's history, wouldn't they rush her in and connect her to a monitor or something rather than just dump her in a wheelchair in reception?

57 if you have a feud with somebody they are guaranteed to be eating or drinking on the next table to you if you got to The Rovers or a Bistro. The person you are with will suggest you go somewhere else but you will stand your ground and state that this is your local and your not going anywhere

Wasn't a bit threadbare?

I would hope so. It looked like the worse place in the world to dump her.

I'd have thought that even Horrible Fiz would be a bit more sensitive about a premature birth considering what happened to urp when she was born.

I think they're still trying to resolve it, Sally mentioned something about it in the Kabin a few weeks ago

60. You must hear every single piece of gossip on the street and judge every single person on the street despite probably committing the same soap sin. Gossip must be discussed in a) the Kabin b) the factory (especially if the person who you are talking about works there) c) the rovers or d) the bistro.

As does Pat Phelan.

61. Once a situation is resolved things must go back to how they were eg. Polish woman is sorted. Eva gets her job and BF back.
