He does drive - we've seen him and had discussions here about his magically disappearing epilepsy. But he must drive one of those mysteriously materialising cars which are invisible most of the time until they are needed for an errand of some sort.
I stand corrected - again

Though I did think David's epilepsy prevented him from driving

I'm really nit-picking here when it comes to SOR's but Bethany opened a new bottle of tablets/vitamins and took one out without having to remove a protective seal.

Sorry!

I know you can drive with epilepsy when you've not had an episode for a certain length of time, and the condition is controlled. This is the case with a friend of mine. But David's epilepsy just stopped being mentioned. One might almost have thought it was a plot device...

Talking of Steve and idiots, how embarrassing was he at the doctor's. Why was he there anyway? Michelle's beaming and rolling her eyes madly, having got her own way, and Steve's fawning round her foolishly. Uncomfortable viewing.
And how many times over the two episodes did he tell her he loved her more than anything in the world? About three? I wanted to throw something at my TV. And how many times did they call each other 'babe'? Are they 15? Eva does it too, drives me demented.

I'm not sure why Michelle butted in and sneeringly told him 'I think she's asking me babe' when the GP asked if there were any questions and Steve started to speak. Why shouldn't a father-to-be ask a question? Is there some sort of law about it I'm not aware of? Or was it yet another 'look what an idiot Steve is that the lovely and radient Michelle has to indulge' scenario?

I was astonished Max's ADHD got a nod yesterday, when David asked Bethany to get him a sugar free lolly or whatever it was. Because I'm sure the local ice cream man caters for such dietary needs

I'm very much doubting that was Michael's ice cream van either, as that seems to have vanished into the same vehicle vortex as Mary's camper van and Steve's mid life crisis sports car.

Although I was impressed you could hear a diesel van running in the background when Bethany was getting her purse!

Everybody was giving Bethany their orders for the Ice Cream van. I think she had 3 or 4 lollies/ice creams to get but was she expected to pay for them all? Gail and Craig were giving the orders but I expected Gail to hand her over some cash but no a 16 year old who I don't think has a job was expected to fork out the cash

I'm sure this will have already been mentioned but how does a woman of 40 confuse being 5 days late with being in her "window of fertility"?
THIS!!! is what I came on to find.

how utterly ridiculous.

Mary's camper van did at least get a mention recently

The whole Leanne moving was a cliche. Who thought she'd really go? When Nick was running to catch the coach, I had this feeling of deva vu. Has it been done before?
yes, with her leaving from Manchester Piccadilly which looked like Manchester Victoria, Simon running to Deirdre crying how horrible she was and peter leaping the ticket barrier like an olympic hurdler and stopping her catching her train just in time

There have been so many miracle cures in CS that the producer will get the Nobel Prize for Medicine.

EE had a similar scene with Alfie and Kat a few years ago but at least their cliched scene happened on a plane and not a crappy bus

This really made me angry! Even if the scriptwriter hadn't a clue, wouldn't one of the female cast members point out how totally inaccurate it was?!

Women don't always get it right!

I knew a late 40 something woman who didn't know she was pregnant until she ran to the toilet at work thinking she had the runs and started to give birth!
My mother helped deliver it.

And wasn't there an occasion when someone (peter?) ran to the departure gate at the airport (via security, probably) to stop someone catching a plane. To somewhere, but further than Liverpool.

All my tablets come in boxes and there is no security protection, except for one which is taped across .... rather annoying !

BIB I thought that as well.

Who wanted the 99 ice cream that fell to the pavement. I don't think Beth picked it up or bought another one. Nobody complained !

When Nick was on the coach talking to Leanne,
I wondered where the onscreen warning triangle
was, for 'pass the sick bucket' it was so utterly and
blatantly nauseating.

Just watched Sharif and Yasmeen's surprise anniversary party again - the only people there were the neighbours. Surely they have friends from off the cobbles, and family members Zee and Alya could have invited. Can't believe Zeedan and co thought it was worth disrupting Yasmeen's planned art gallery trip for such a rubbish do.
Yes!!

44 years of their married life has been spent AWAY FROM THE STREET!!

So Simon scrolls down his contacts on his mobile. He has Amy, Dad and then Nick. Surely he would have Mum in his contacts which would appear above Nick.
I thought that too, has he no friends with names beginning with letters from D to N. But it might not have been his contact list, could have been in his "last dialled"

They only moved from their spacious comfortable accommodation elsewhere into a tiny house in the Street because somewhere decided the Asian quota was getting a bit low and moved in an unlikely family. Large successful families do not move into small houses. Except in that street.

The whole list of story lines involving them very rarely fits at all. The writers have as little idea as they do about conception.

Victoria Court might have been introduced to accommodate the better off characters but it is still next to a tramline in a dingy backstreet.

That's the missus' standard reaction whenever Michelle's on screen in that poxy backroom!!

The phone could have been listed under "home". David had a car ages ago which he drove into the canal. It gave Maria the opportunity to announce that he "row a no", translated means he "wrote a note" about doing it deliberately.
