The dashboard in that thing is like a plank of wood with a flaking mahogany veneer, is someone's mantlepiece missing?

And there's some garden gate hinges on the side of the window frame?

What a pile of poooooh.

Well, he was, back when it was featured on Corrie. As was Fred and Curly. And maybe Alf?

Does anybody else think "Alf" (Bryan Mosley) and Audrey Roberts were the most unlikely pairing ever?

Flighty Audrey, paired up with Alf the most boring shopkeeper in history..

Speaking of "Alf" I watch a lot of the old Avengers TV series with John Steed and the delectable Mrs Emma Peel, and he turns up quite often in those......

Over at Barlow's Buys, the shelves are looking a bit bare, I wonder if Tony can have a word with some of his "contacts"?

Meanwhile Michael's long lost son looks increasinly dodgy....Gail and Audrey had better keep a sharp eye on their money....biggrin

Alf was never the same after Michael Caine threw from that car park in Gateshead.

Now there's a thought - I wonder whether Michael Caine would consider a small cameo in Corrie? I'd love that, especially if he parodied himself (which is his usual screen persona anyway).

I agree, Gavin is asking too many questions and this suggests he is shifty, unless Corrie writers are playing a double-bluff. Maybe he's going to be Audrey's toyboybiglaugh

PS that link says that Norris was a Squaredealer. If so, why does he apparently no longer attend? You'd think with his puffed-up self-importance he would constantly talk about his membership.

PPS Dutton had a decent enough reputation as far as kitcars go - how come that Melos looks like shedwork? I'd be ashamed to admit I'd built it.

She has certainly had a good few bones in her time if the tales locally are true.

This makes me think of the Jeremy Kyle show, and all those trailer-park girls whining about their unfaithful men -"he's a dawg,,,,,,".

Liz is getting on a bit now, I'm more interested in the fluff (sexism rules!) on the show. It's a pity Catherine Tyldesley is pregnant cos she seems to be a lot more coy in her appearance. Shame!

Tina is gone, and I understand that Katie is being written out (sorry for the spoiler, but it's common knowledge). They need some more eye candy in the show. Come on Emily, show us your stays.

Oh, I don't know, we have Audrey, Julie, Anna with her WMD and even Gail if you're feeling really horny....cloud9..biggrin

Speaking of Helen Worth, see if you can spot her here in the classic Maggie Smith version of "The prime of Miss Jean Brodie" at 4mins 31secs......

I think they may be writing her out one letter at a time, unless of course the t in her name really is an silent consonant.

Bit of a "so-so" episode last night. Gavin looks like an increasing threat to Gail's small fortune. Typical soap storyline.

Rita was a bit wrong about fountain pens. "They had a little rubber tube you pressed and I liked watching the ink go up." Well, sorry Corrie, but my pens were all a dark-coloured rubber - you couldn't see the ink. You'd need the reservoir to be some kind of translucent latex, like the maids outfit that nice German girl wore in the video I watched last night. Very practical people the Germans - nice wipe-down clothing, and they even gave her a gas mask to help with the fumes from the bleach. biggrin

Only kidding................

I definitely had one with a condom like reservoir and a lever on the side (oh & a 24c plated nib of course), you could see the ink level inside.

How much of the night sky would Norris have been able to see stood in the Rovers yard? The light pollution from Manchester would have wiped out any chance of seeing anything.

I think he was using an app ... maybe SkyView ?
