Another SOR Eva sending out 150 Christmas cards. How would she even know 150 people she never leaves the Street.
On the plus side, her Christmas present was rather fetching

I thought this as well. I just switched on as she cowboyed it across the street, thought I had missed a joke or something.
Maybe its me being ultra picky ( 
) but Peter said he was waiting for his CRB check to come through. For several years now, its called a DBS

I work in the security industry and people still refer to it as a 'CRB Check' despite the name change.

It was clearly a typing error.

Really? Leanne hasn't aged that much since her early days on the street. She still looks good.

Well I know. But I couldn't resist. 😁

at least working in the city centre made her one of the very few residents to find work out of the street.
Does that mean she was working 'on the streets to get work outside of 'The Street'

We also refer to a car's "log book" when it stopped being a book and became a bit of paper called a V5 decades ago. Some things just don't move on.

It seems that with Emily still abroad that the only religion now practiced by any of the residents will be the half hearted Moslem one as held by the Nazirs.
Back to the good ole C of E I know of one vicar who had to retire at 65 and find his own accommodation. I thought that they were looked after rather better than that after a lifetime's service - excuse the pun. i do not know what his pension arrangements are but I do know that the church is very wealthy from its land holdings alone.

bib. Ridiculous, as you say how would she know 150 people and not only that if she were to send them all second class that would be £82.50 !! That is without paying to have 150 cards specially printed with their stupid faces on them
Would anybody in a back street really spend at least £200 (rough estimate) on cards and postage

Friday was Lucky-to-have-her-Michelles turn for tummy rubbing........she was sitting behind the Rovers bar rubbing away, while chatting to Todd and the Vicar/ex-Vicar/Future Drug Centre Receptionist......
And Todds "life changing scar" had vanished completely!!
Possibly it's on leave, so it can appear in panto this festive season

He isnt just leaving though, he has a crisis of faith. Of course he has to keave as soon a spossible and the church would recognise that.

She'll post one to her Mum and the rest can be delivered by hand up and down Coronation Street and Victoria Court.
It'll be interesting to see how many we can spot in other people's houses, they should stand out!

It would be quite funny to their gurning faces in every home in the street. Mairia will treasure hers.

the cofe has a pensions board who find accommodation for their retired clergy and act as landlord, got my retired priest friend a rather nice bungalow in a small town in dorset.
when a priest retires he is still a priest, and can say mass, he is just not a vicar anymore

Yes, I think that someone like Eva would (on credit).

I didn't think the heavy looking ankles and legs looked like they belonged to her - I know I am going to get a lot of flak for saying that.
Eva just walked into the office at Underworld and announced she was having the afternoon off. Does being the girlfriend of a Mr Connor give her the privilege of doing that? It seems a very slack way to run a factory.
