As it has never been cleaned until Jenny needed a job in the street I assume the factory will need a lot of cleaning!

K-Yag K-Yag! Sproo Sproo!

How implausible is Anna and Kevin's "relationship"? Arguing like a fishwife with him in the Rovers over Phelan : sitting alone at her kitchen table and guzzling alcohol in front of him when he comes around to try and sort things out. In other words, making no attempt to seem attractive to him, even though they have been 'dating' for about three weeks. They're already like a couple who have been together for twenty years or more.

Yes but the whole idea of Gail, having cooked teas for several generations of kids, had to take time to put her coat on and walk over the salon to ask David something. And for that something to be as trite as the frozen pizza's out of date so Kylie asked me to ask you what will me or Kylie do next vis a viz the kid's teas?
...inferring that 'Because we are such inept and pathetic creatures we couldn't go to Dev's for a tin of beans and/or we cow down to you and had to ask your permission first'.
Maybe Gail has dementia or is necking Max's Ritalin with a lunchtime gin or something. Whatever, she has had a few out of character blips let's call them.

Why do characters in soaps reach for the bottle and swill several glasses of wine when they are angry, upset etc
Do the writers think they are portraying real life by showing their characters guzzling wine?
The government are fighting a losing battle, trying to spell out the dangers of drinking when characters on TV seem to regard alcohol as the panacea of all ills

and of course they get something out the freezer because children live on fish fingers, burger , 'oops' alphabet spaghetti or pizza

did the writers mum's go to iceland?

Frozen pizzas last for months. I can't see a frozen pizza being stuck in the Platts freezer longer than a week. Pure annoying it is.

I did nearly faint when he suggested them popping 'into town' for a bite to eat admittedly. Has the Bistro burnt down?

He does seem remarkably desperate to appease the old shrew doesn't he? Rather than thinking 'what a PITA sod this for a game of soldiers.' Like any sensible man.

You're quite right. Silly me

For that matter I can't actually remember David going off to college to study Caucasian hairdressing either, he just seemed to be there one day and that was it!

Even Posh Sally used to feed Surfie & Rurzie on baked beans every day...

I think anyone in his position would already been thinking about how to dump her. He would be aware by now he has lumbered himself with a nagging wife and not a "girlfriend".

I know! The one that was all over him a month or so ago was an absolute catch compared to the way Anna is acting!

Don't be silly. You can qualify as a hairdresser, mechanic, electrician, builder, chef, accountant and machinist entirely on the job ... in two days.

Ans anyone who actually goes into further education just disappears.[/QUOTE]


Phelan and Jason going to rewire Kevin's new garage, when did they qualify as Electricians?

That was a SOR in itself - the fact that David was actually seen applying a "product" to the hair instead of just faffing about with a comb like Audrey normally does!

They can do anything, remember? He should have Brickie / Sparkie / Chippie etc as a big list on his van and score them out as required

All we need now is one of the fiddling with a boiler like Tyrone did a few years back...


Nothing will beat her trying to fluff around with Ken's hair when he came in for a trim FerF#ck sake woman

Tomorrow?

Anybody else would get in touch with the contractor and get him to sort it. But
Kev? Oh no!

After one date Anna was desperate not to lose Kev, but now she doesn't seem to give a stuff. Maybe she thinks she's such a catch she can behave as badly as she likes. More likely the thicko just doesn't have a clue about men, people or anything.

Don't know why Kev seems so keen to keep her sweet


It was ridiculous - quite in keeping with the character of Gail at the moment, but you'd expect Kylie to be a bit more resourceful

iirc, Jason became a qualified electrician in time to rewire the Rovers after the fire. He went from bricky to sparky in a few days.

It seriously shows up just how ignorant of "real life" the writers are.

Isn't it illegal to carry out electrical work, apart from changing a plug, for unqualified persons.?

re :- Surfie & Rurzie

How convenient the other day
When Kirky arrived with his stack of boxes blocking all vision of the Polish girl and Eva
With his loud singing - to give them plenty of warning - so they were not seen or heard chatting together in the factory
💡 script writing ---- at it's finest !

More or less, yes.
Im not sure of UK regs but where I live there are only certain minor jobs that an unqualified person can do.
I suppose at a push, if the job is up to standard, they could get an electrician to sign it off but why would any electrician want to do that.

And I dont know of a single qualified electrician whose main occupation is a builder

If Beth ate something at the bistro and it gave her a rash, why is it the bistro's fault? Wouldn't someone just assume that they were allergic to something? The woman has had two previous rashes, so it would most likely be her sensitively to just about everything rather than anyone else's fault.

Erica is yet another employee who assumes that they can just leave their place of employment whenever it suits them.

Why is it that if someone in Corrie gets a few hours free in the daytime like Robert did, it is always seen as an opportunity to rush home and have a bonk?

What's all this continual rubbish about date nights?

Anna and Sally aren't bad looking women but fresh faced Sally looked much better than Anna with all that slap on her face.

And how long is this stupid Todd doesn't know a dandelion from a daisy stuff going to last?

Yo would have thought that Anna, realising she's already blotted her copybook with Kev, would have kept her trap shut before being so incredibly rude to Sally. Ok, Sally is being totally tedious st the moment, but Kev thinks a lot of her, so you think Anna would just keep her thoughts to herself, for the time being at least.

Or is this another demo of how incredibly feisty and strong La Windass is? I think we were supposed to be cheering for her or something.

The election stuff is found Sally no favours admittedly, it's really awful. Why couldn't they have actually given her something where she'd found her niche and did really well? Surely the Sally being above her station stuff has been done to dearth at t'factruh?

Did that rash thing actually go anywhere? i assumed it was going to be something to do with the hair dye but then she started gobbing off at Nick. But yes, unless you specifically say to staff at a restaurant 'please double check this dish doesn't have any XXX' and it's subsequently discovered as an ingredient in a sauce or something, how is it their fault they may have triggered an allergy you didn't know you had?

If her skin is that sensitive it's unlikely she'd be able to tolerate peroxide in any case.
