They seem to be spoiling Paul's storyline by him becoming a criminal. He should be looking into ways he can get help with disability equipment. Grants or Schemes through the NHS for example.

Paul has always been a criminalQuote:

Earlier, Audrey was talking to Elaine about Stephen, "Gail and the kids call him golden balls."
I've heard the phrase used in dramas before, I always thought it was a reference to male appendages. Having just looked it up, I see it refers to the three gilt balls used as a pawnbroker's sign.
Oh how ignorant I am.
Brian mentioned to George about the ship 'Lord Sandwich' which was originally Captain's Cook's Endeavour.
It was scuttled by the British in Newport Harbor (in 1778) in an effort to block French ships during the American War of Independence.
Something else I googled out of interest. Sometimes Corro is very educational.
Btw, I see that although the Earl of Sandwich gave his name to the food snack, he didn't invent it. Apparently, "One of the earliest known sandwich-eaters was Hillel the Elder, a rabbi and scholar who was born in Babylon and lived in Jerusalem during the first century B.C"
I think in this case it was reference to the nickname given to David Beckham by his wife Victoria, when. he turned his image around after being sent off in the 1998 World Cup. Google has let you down a bit here.Quote:

I doubt that Beckham has ever used a pawnbrokerQuote:

I suspect that he had his hair cut off because the others were laughing at him.Quote:

It doesn't seem unusual something like that happens in soaps.
I would have though the postman was obliged to deliver mail directly to the address, or hand it to someone in the premises, not just give the mail to someone on the street. I can't imagine the postman knows all his householders that well, especially in an urban area. Would that happen in real life?
I didn't know that Coronation Street was originally Albert Street, then renamed for the coronation of Edward VII?
I remember that the soap was going to be called Florizel Street, but some bigwig in ITV said it sounded like the name of a soap powder, hence it became Coronation Street.
That was a bit of a strange story because Brian said that the street was built in 1902. King Edward succeeded to the throne (when he took the name Edward) in January 1901, so to call it Albert street after him in 1902 seems a bit odd.Quote:

I think the bigwig said it sounded like a disinfectant/air freshener ( Zoflora?)
I've been waiting for Perdita to comment on this but as she hasn't, I'll just leave this here:Quote:

This happens all the time in Walford. He walks round the market and takes letters out of his bag without even looking at the addressesQuote:

I think they are just glad to get rid of stuff, and save themselves the trouble of puting it through the letter box, even though they probably meant to. Perhaps in the case of Stephen the postman had seen him at the factory, or had had to go in to hand over a parcel. For myself.f I saw nothing unusual in handing it over in the street.Quote:

You are welcome BUT the info is still included on the other posters responses. Maybe they should delete their responses or at least remove the section with the offending post?Quote:

What a hypocrite, Sarah is, remembering how righteous she was, when she found out about Adam's dalliance with Carla. - Wondering who they will line up for Adam's new partner when Sarah's affair with Damon comes out, as it surely will. Only this morning she was cosying up to Adam.
I can't help feeling that is actually a very true to life scenario that probably happens in thousands of marriages up and down the country!Quote:

I would hate to do Daniel's job. He needs to get a job in a school that takes education seriously.
That last remark of Daisy was so out of character.
Does Fiona realise that her extra pay might not even cover her rent and other living expenses.
Daniel is not very good at this job. He should not be singling out Max and drawing attention to him, he should realize that this could lead to Max being picked upon, even being beaten up. Now Max is starting to act up to impress the other inmates. Daniel should realize this place is different from a school.Quote:

Surely Fiz should have asked if Underworld were going to pay for accomodation, but then she never sharpest knife in the drawer.
Also good to see that Fiz has fixed up her accommodation so quickly and is off tomorrow.Quote:
