The video shop that Billy had seemed to be the size of a telephone box, how the hell is he going to make that in to not only a internet place but also a cafe ??? Where is he going to make all the drinks and food ? If upstairs in the flat then who is going to watch the shop while he is up there ? Or am I missing something ? Do they just call them a cafe even though there is no food or drink served ?

Also do laundrette's need people in them working ? I think most of them just allow you to use them yourselves, are there still attended ones around ?

I think you would normally be able to buy some form of refreshment but this is soapland we're talking of here - Billy buys a couple of computers, plugs them in and, 'Roberts Your Father's Brother', your online When did he actually apply for the internet connection and get his Broadband modem or Wireless Router?

In my area in London, Internet Cafes are just places with computers - no food or anything served. The only other thing they generally have is a telephone booth where you can call places, but that isn't in all of them (and there are a lot in my area)

Hope this helps

The 'attendant' is there to do service washes.
Internet cafes are not cafes in the usual sense of the word but some might serve hot drinks maybe.

40-40js, LOL, Billys internet connection - minor detail

I believe there is a back room - maybe an office or something?

The Video Shop has another room at the side of the counter which used to be the store room, so there's more room through there.

But the computers have been stolen, so what does he do now. Surely Internet Cafes are open long hours and aren`t they run by someone who knows a lot about computers. The biggest laugh was not only the instant connection to the internet and the ability to call up a web site by putting in Bulgaria without the use of a search engine, but that Billy who had never see a computer before that we know of was completely proficient in their use.
As I have said before the Video shop is not Billy`s any way. Phil bought it and gave it to Ben.
Also having got rid of his videos and DVD`s , and had his computers stolen, how do Billy and Honey respond? They try to rent a three bedroomed house with a loft conversion. I laughed when Jane said the rent would be dearer than their flat and Honey said "because it is bigger?"
You have Pat, Kevin, Denise, Squiggle, Chelsea, Deano and Carly all crowded in Pats house and though Kevin has asked Denise to marry him no question of them getting there own place. Although they at least have wages coming in.
Honey is a few weeks pregnant and she and Billy have a young baby but they are desparate to rent a large house, although they have only Honey`s wages from Booty.
Albert Square is like an alternative universe.

pmsl, Honey and Billy really need to get a grip.

Billy should just get a normal job he is obviouslt terrible at running a business. What happened to the modelling agency he had with Honey in it?

They cant afford paulines house so them getting it would be very unrealistic. They probably can't even afford Dawns flat.

Imogen Tate - they did use a search engine, we saw it very briefly I think! You're right about everything else though - the writers seem to have no common sense!

Imogen, that is true, I forgot that Phil gave the place to Ben. So I have no idea how Billy just decided to do what he likes with the place without asking Phil first, he only got the money from Phil because he was over heard by him talking to Ian about it, talk about a liberty.
