Yes, Roy also looks grubby as does the cafe in general. Everything in there including the staff needs a good scrub! It's like Fiz and Ty's gaff. I definitely wouldn't eat there.

In a similar vein, I would never eat anything at the Dingles in Emmerdale

I think if it was boil washed it would be burgundy.


But pretty accurate. I know from experience that people are left without pain relief waiting ages for a doctor appointment, and on "This Morning" today I think they said a million people are taking cannabis for medicinal reasons.



Time for a mutual ignoring I think. It is not worth annoying yourselves.


I look forward to Tyrone ordering falafal and salad in a wholemeal seeded balm.
It used to look a dark red. So that sounds about right.



Tyrone on a health kick.

I don't think this is a SOR either. And I'm sure many people with chronic pain would agree. GPs will prescribe painkillers that do some good, better than nothing, but at times they don't do anything like enough and you feel desperate as Izzy did. I've been tempted to try cannabis but am put off by not knowing how to get it, or what to do with it since I wouldn't smoke it.

But oh dear, Izzy has the strangest accent and so false. It's cringeworthy.
The cannabis isn't a SOR and originally no one said it was. The issue was whether an ambulance should have been called to the factory when Izzy was knocked out of her wheelchair. The opinion was that if they had called an ambulance then the pain SL might not have happened as she would have had some treatment.

But as usual this has been ignored with someone not understanding the point that was made. It's now such a regular occurrence on this thread, there ought to be 'Misunderstanding the Point' thread or a 'Getting the Wrong End of the Stick' thread.

I once cut my hand when opening a window at work to allow smoke from a fire to escape.
It was literally only a small cut although it did bleed like a pig.

I was told that I had to go to A&E because it happened at work and for A&E to declare it nothing to be concerned about because it happened at work.

The Polish girl looked quite healthy and seemed as fit as an impala the way she ran through the factory. The inhabitants of the street should appeal to Roy to add perogies and sour cream to his menu. This will have a two fold purpose. It will be a job for the Polish girl to teach Anna how to make them fresh every day. This will lead to a healthier lifestyle with less heart attacks and free up more hospital beds to be available for the steady flow of fire victims from the street. My only concern would be the sour cream reminding me of Annas face.

Indeed and that is the correct procedure also a it would have been written up in an accident log too, so you can imagine what would happen if someone was pushed out of a wheelchair and fell causing a dislocation they would need to have a ambulance attend and then be taken to A&E to be checked with Xrays and the such like being taken to rule out any other injuries too, I cannot understand why some people are not getting that point.

Some people just cannot admit they are wrong about something, maybe?

Snort! But I must take issue with you James, pierogi cannot be considered part of a healthy lifestyle, even if home-made. These ravioli-like 'dumplings' are traditionally boiled then fried with bits of fatty bacon. And if my ex's family are anything to go by, they're then smothered in ketchup and served in steaming piles for the menfolk to have an eating competition with. Delicious but deadly!

I dont know what the point of the scene with the Polish girl was, unless it was all about Sean's stolen "not very Russian" coat?

I'd have thought they would have called an ambulance before Izzy hit the ground, but they didnt bother with calling the police about the intruder and the stolen coat either.

Well it is blindly obvious that very little thought had gone into what happened that day at the factory so many SORs it made the whole thing ridiculous to the extreme.

.................. And I don't like where this slavery storyline is going...
Is it going anywhere? It seems to have disappeared, as has the family who were holding her passport, because for some reason they'd smuggled her from another EU country.


Nick owns 80%, which he says is worth £100,000.

Therefore £10,000 is worth 8% (although Leanne could push for more by stating without her 10%, Rob would have nothing).

Who doesn't Tracy just ask Carla for £10,000 to cover the difference, simples!!
There's no need to. If Leanne buys 8% from Nick, then the value of the remaining 92% of Nick's holding drops down to ... let me just get my socks off ... £92,000. However, there's another point been totally overlooked.

Stock valuation : the £100,000 would exclude the stock at the date of sale, at a valuation agreed to by both parties. Okay, a few slices of bacon and a couple of tins of peas wouldn't amount to much, but what about all the wine Nick and Leanne stole drom the warehouse a couple of years ago? Would that be valued at acquisition cost or replacement cost? And there are still thousands of jars of olives.

No it's quite ok for you to respond to my posts, I'm not that paranoid.

It does seem as if that person has a problem with you, we can't all get a long I suppose that would be too much to expect.
On another thread, an FM proudly announced that they'd blocked 20 of the thread's contributors. All the ones who disagreed with him. When asked how he managed to reply to these FMs' posts without their being quoted, he said he opened a different browser to read posts from the people he'd blocked!. (I won't go into the contortions necessary to quote them, so as to reply. )

When you block someone The "box" that the posts normally go in are seen as a thin line with the message something like " this post is not visible because the poster is on your ignore list"
To see the post you just have to press the "view post" button and it opens out.
No need to mess around with different browsers at all.

I cant see the point of going online if you dont want to see other people's points of view.
You might as well just talk to yourself.

Peter's gf, Lucy was a florist, that's how Tracy got a job in her shop.
Tracy started working in Maggie's flower shop when she left school. (Maggie Redman being Mike Baldwin's girlfriend at the time.)

The ping pong contest was fairly ridiculous. What the hell was the point of that?!

And then there was the photograph shoot which was held during working hours amongst the machinists.

There is more drama in this thread than SOR's in Corrie! Keep up the good work pedants.

There were any number of posts I could have quoted, but that one was the first relevant one when going back up through them. Could have quoted any of the others, but silly me, I chose that one and again got an immediate response.

It's obvious to me that he and I disagree on a lot, but that's just a fact of life, probably due to a great difference in age and life experience, as is true with a lot of other posters. I don't need to have a reply to every time I post just as none of us do. But it will stop, because I won't quote any of his in future, I'll make sure I choose someone else's if I want to answer something specific or give an opinion on the subject.

In this case - to everyone who says that Izzy getting cannabis from a dealer is an SOR - it isn't FOR ME because I've had it suggested by my hospital practitioner that I do it because prescribed medication doesn't always do the trick and with some medication there's only a certain amount which can be prescribed within a specific time. It's also likely that she isn't in pain all the time but has episodes of it.

I know many will still say it doesn't happen, but then calling me a liar is likely to result in a response. There is nothing to disagree with - it's what I've experienced.

The story hasn't been written well.
For Petes sake the constant reference to your age and life experience makes it sound like nobody else has been exposed to heartache and pain. It's time you started to have a bit of fun and enjoy the humor on this forum. Life is hard enough and can bring trouble on us, but not half as much as we can bring upon ourselves. There are many ways to deal with pain and suffering. I don't know them all but I do know bitterness isn't one of them. On the day you were born the stars were younger than they are today and shone more brightly. It's now time to let the new generation's take up the fight for justice and equality, better to be happy than wise sometimes.

Two SORs that have now become so annoying and unbelievable that we have finally stopped watching CS, after many, many years.

1. Michelle - she ALWAYS looks the same. No one always looks the same, every day, whatever time of day. Every other female cast member is shown looking less than perfect if the script demands it ie with no make up, unwashed hair, slobby clothes etc but never Michelle! She must have it written into her contract, I am sure! You just know that her make up and hair will be perfect, whatever she is doing, which these days just seems to be hanging around with Carla, nodding her head.
2. Tracey - in RL, no one would have anything to do with her. Robert would leave, Ken would throw her out. Why is it that she seems to be able to say and do what she wants and no one does anything? They all seem to live in terror of being her next victim and let her get away with whatever she wants. It just doesn't happen like that! Its so unrealistic. Everyone would ignore her normally. Plus, even when they do retaliate, she just looks pouty for a second, cries a bit and then does exactly the same thing. Its boring and predictable and I no longer care about anyone in the cast.
Michelle is occasionally seen without make-up and I think she looks better then.

But Izzy going down the dodgy pub and buying a bag of herbs IS a SOR. In real life Izzy would probably be on a Facebook support group for other people with her condition. She'd find out how to get cannabis in a less dangerous way. If she can't even tell that the cannabis is actually herbs then how will she know who to roll a joint properly or fill a pipe? How much to use to ease the pain but still be in an acceptable state to look after her son?

A quick t'internet search is more realistic than risking your safety at the local pub.

This is a HUGE opportunity for Corrie to highlight a very important issue in this county. Some people rely on illegal drugs for medical reasons. They should show it in a more accurate way. But once again, much like the Hope/Cancer story line, they have it completely wrong, completely unrealistic and it's an insult to people who are LIVING what corrie thinks is good idea for badly executed storyline.

Have we even seen Huurp since she had a miraculous recovery? What was the point of all that - just to have a 'happy' Christmas (where Ty used a 2ft snow machine to cover the street including all the back gardens of every neighbour in snow?!)

Why can't Kev stop thinking of Anna? It was only about 3 months ago he realised she existed and they're acting as if they'd been together years.

It's been very quiet on the Platt front - is Bethany doing her GCSEs?

I don't think anybody has suggested that it is an SOR.
Some years ago, shortly after I moved into my current house (rural location), i was asked by an upstanding, pillar of the community neighbour, if I could get cannabis for another elderly neighbour who also was in a wheelchair to help ease his pain.
I was unable to oblige.

A football thread has just had Round 1 of the Annual Coronation Street Babes competition between Anna and Sally.

Anna won with about 20 votes to one for Sally.

Good to see the "coat" issue addressed.
For me, both Steph and Anna are the worst coat offenders.
I just have an irrational hatred of Steph's coat in particular as it is like something a more mature lady would wear and not a 21 year old
But really, how unrealistic is it that these characters would live day in day out in the exact same coat?! It is like a soap uniform or something.

Yes, but just think what that would lead to!

She'd have to spend a year fighting off Callum's scary mates, whilst being hounded by his replacement. Then she'd need to have a garage conversion (which would mean moving house to one with a garage) so she could then have access to a manhole in which to chuck his body after someone, perhaps Gary, had whacked him over the head with a spanner!

You mean Callum's scary mates who weren't actually scary, just a bunch of pathetic wasters.
