"In your own time Leanne"

3 seconds later...

"We can't help unless you talk to us"

Hmmmmm, very sensitive corrie coppers giving her all of the time in the world.
Yes I was impressed with the resources available to the Police. "So, tell us again, a 12 year boy flung a TV remote across the room. And he didn't want you to help him with his homework. I can't believe what you are telling me. OK let's get him in for questioning".
Why isn't Leanne going to the Community Health Centre to get a parenting counsellor involved or something. Surely Family counselling is a better way or did they try that for half an episode.

I don't think Sally perceives being a Councillor as above her station, more that it is such a prestigious thing that she was actually born to do it and will make a better job of it than anyone anywhere in Weatherfield EVER has. She probably thinks she could even become an MP.

Does she really think an independent Councillor could get a night bus? Obviously she thinks she'll be able to get anything she considers a good idea. How disappointed she'll be if anyone is stupid enough to actually vote for her when she discovers that councils actually vote on everything and they wont take notice of her demands

Will not getting she wants or, worse still in her eyes not getting elected deflate her ego? I doubt it.
If she manages to get elected and, having done so, manages to get any policies adopted - that would be a classic SOR. I guess more than one principled independent has been disillusioned when they tried to buck the system.

She said they went for counselling didn't she?

Where was Leanne's police interview? It looked like they'd turned wardrobe into a make shift set. And the police looked like the'd just stepped off the street. And what was with the strange yellow lighting and the policemans hammy knowing looks. It was all very surreal.
It was a bit silly wasn't it? Every time I've seen this sort of thing before (admittedly on TV dramas), it's never been uniformed police and usually a woman doing the interviewing.

it looked like there was a bag and some keys behind Leanne, looked like the back of underworld or somewhere. they have a shiny new studio to play with, four actually, too much effort to build a realistic police interview room

Have the police got enough manpower to spare 2 men to investigate some bratty kid who needs a clip round the ear, when they should be out investigating real crimes.

..................More dodgy continuity. The fantastic four are having a meal and are either not having a pudding or Irish coffee and the flower shop is still open. Was it late night opening to cater for the pre Valentines rush?
Four days early? Wouldn't they go off, or whatever flowers do?

I don't know whether you can freeze flowers, but I'd have thought one disheartening factor in running a flower shop would be that every day you have to put a percentage of your stock in the bin.

It's not as though we've ever seen any customers in tracy's back street flower shop.

Tracy's had one customer, Steph buying flowers for Carla when she was in hospital and also last night Todd was doing a Lily display for Audrey's Salon. Such a good business move....not

But she was cashing up when Todd went home and seemed to have a wad of cash!

(or was it just a large float?)

You wouldn't even need two officers to take a statement off someone, it's not like she's being interviewed under caution. And I love it that they always turn up and someone is free straight away. Where I work they'd be booking her an appointment and asking her to come back...which would be at least a couple of days away unless it was a real emergency.

Anna washing up in the cafe. Don't they have a dishwasher? Anyway, she was slapping those dishes down unrinsed, and then wiped her hands on the tea towel. A total no no in a commercial kitchen. Is there a hygiene notice in the window? I'll bet It's showing a six instead of the three the cafe deserves.
Anna and Cathy are always touching their hair and faces too, and then handling food

And getting it wrong again. Filler.

They are both such grubby looking women anyway with their greasy hair hanging all over their faces and the food. Yuk.

Shouldn't they have their hair tied back off their faces when they are working in the cafe?

They should indeed and should be wearing latex gloves if they are touching any item of food directly.

The food must full of their greasy hair. Time for a visit from the hygiene/food safety dept!

I may well have missed this but does anyone know what's happening with the bistro robbery that went wrong? Did I miss something and the police arrested the two blokes? Or is it an ongoing investigation and Corrie will come back to the SL soon?

They have probably forgotten it.

Anna ties her hair back and has those two annoying hanks of hair hanging either side of her face, so she's always pushing them away. Apart from being unhygienic, it must be intensely annoying - it irritates me just watching it!

I was just about to post about Anna's annoying hanks - they drive me mad too. Anna probably thinks they're great

Very insensitive, the guy on the left didn't seem to want to be there!

Mucky Anna.

Boozing and bonking are the main leisure activities on't Street! That cliche of 'turning to the bottle' looks pretty dated now. And of course no-one gets liver disease or looks a haggard wreck, apart from Carla's mascara looks a bit Kate Moss after a heavy session.
'I'll put the kettle on' has now become 'pour me a glass of red'.

The way Anna was knocking back that wine was absurd - pouring out a glass and drinking as if it were lemonade and she was really thirsty. I don't think even the most hardened drinker could or would do that. And as if she would have carried on without stopping when Kevin turned up.


Good thing the actors don't actually drink real 'wine', Carla's probably gobbled down so much Vimto and red grape juice mix to last her a lifetime.

I read this thread before watching last night's episode...I was laughing to myself when the SOR's that were discussed on here were shown.....sometimes its better to watch it that way!!
Brilliant, isn't it?

Anna and Cathy are always touching their hair and faces too, and then handling food
Contrast that to Eastenders where the characters at the caff (typically Marie......is she still around??), wearing latex gloves when preparing sandwiches.

Roy's employees need food hygiene training. And is Alex a permanent addition to the Street now?

I'm still waiting to know what happened to mad Maya and that was 2004
The original plan was for Maya to return for her trial. But the storyline fizzled out partly because Dev was suspended. Clearly it was planned for the summer of 2005, which notoriously became the worst period in the show's history. This guff Blackburn signs off isn't too far off though!!

Also it was unusual for them both to be speaking, usually when we see coppers in twos only one of them ever talks and the other just watches.

thought a woman couldn't be interviewed by two male officers

and I bet when they interview Simon there won't be a lady from social services there which is the case when they interview a minor

After the police questioned Carla they arrested Steph's ex boyfriend and he owned up
