The Mancunian phrase "Bobbin" or "Bob" as in travel, appears once every couple of weeks in Corrie out of the blue, no other writers use it apart from the lord himself Jonathan Harvey who rules supreme over the others.

It just sticks out.

It's not just relating to travel, is it? I've heard characters say they'll "bob" somebody a text...

It's a common word in Manchester. I'm not a local but I've lived in Mnachester for nearly 10 years and I hear it all the time. I think it's great that local dialect is reflected in a soap - it's a reflection of real life language. Isn't that what script writers should be doing - trying to create realistic dialogue?

I'm fine with them using it but it's one writer so it sticks out, it they're going to incorporate local dialect them they all should do it.

I agree but if it is local dialect surely the last person who would want to be heard using it would be snobby Sally!!

Do people only start saying it once they've decided to run for the local council, though?

It's not like Sally Webster has been on the street for over 30 years without a single utterance of the word until 4 months ago, but now says it every 4th line or so... oh wait, that's exactly what it's like!

Do they have any other character saying it? I can't say I've noticed it from anyone other than Sally.

The mayor said it as well - "I would have bobbed you a text." I've heard others too.

Don't think it's just Manchester. I'm in leeds and am aware of it.

I hate all this bobbing that has suddenly occurs in the scripts. This might be a phrase commonly used in that particular writers life but surely the likes of Sally would have been saying this for years if that was true for her too.

What was that other Corrie phrase that started popping up regularly in scripts out of no where said by various characters..oh yeah 'Tipping up!'

That's true . In the same evening we had Sally saying 'Bob that in the fridge...' , and then the Mayor's partner, an outsider to the Street saying 'I'll bob him a text..' or something similar. The director should have noticed how wrong it looked and demanded a change to that line- it was awkward.

People have been using the expression on Corrie for ages, though I've never heard it anywhere else. I really like it and have managed to use it myself a couple of times. (Bob the kettle on )

I don't think they have. It stood out to me when I first heard it from Sally some time this year cos it was a new phrase to me, and I've been watching corrie for 25 years.

I remember Sean using it well over a year, maybe even two years, ago, but I appreciate that's hardly ages when Corrie has been on for so long
