if Tina and Tommy are completely skint, as they keep saying - how come they always eat in the Cafe??!!
surely a few pennies could be saved making their own breakfast?

and they are still using the real ale hand pump in the Rovers for whatever kind of pint people ask for!!!!
and the pints always have a head, and real ale doesnt have gas connected?
Nobody is ever sufficiently skint that they can't have a bit to eat or a drink in the RoversQuote:

The 78-year-old actress, who plays Weatherfield favourite Rita Tanner, discussed the ITV1 show's loyal following as she made a rare live television appearance on Lorraine today (September 19).
Asked whether she is able to do her own shopping with such a recognisable face, Knox replied: "Well, I do because I think I should. At the end of the day, I'm a human being and I have to do my own shopping, and actually it's very, very nice.
"People are very nice, they love the programme, they come up to you and they are so kind. They tell you what we should have done, what we might have done, and 'Why didn't you…?'
"It's very nice, actually, because the programme hasn't got stale. People still love it. I do go about and sometimes they grab my arm and say, 'Come here, you!' I don't particularly like that, but I suppose it's affectionate in a way!"
She continued: "It has been about 40 years [for Rita], so people are bound to recognise you. If you stay around long enough, I think they come to like you - well, I hope so!"
Knox confirmed that she still enjoys her storylines, and is particularly pleased over Rita and Dennis now being married.
She explained: "I've been very lucky. Lovely stories, lovely people, and lovely to have Philip Lowrie back - wonderful."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV1.
Julie Goodyear has ruled out ever returning to Coronation Street.
The actress played the iconic role of Bet Lynch for over 25 years until 1995. She has made several brief returns, most recently in November 2003.
"I'll never play her on screen again. I'm in a position where I've worked hard so I can pick and choose what I do. I don't want a return to the spotlight," Goodyear told the Daily Star.
"Fans ask me about Bet every day but I want to leave my legacy as it is. With quantity you lose quality. And I'm a perfectionist. I have done 25 years and more than 2,000 episodes. The schedule now is so much tougher than when I was on it."
Speaking of meeting fans, she added: "Because people feel they know me, they don't feel like they're meeting an intimidating character. The public sees me as a friend.
"Bet was everybody's friend, sister, mother, auntie. I always have time for fans. They're the ones who put me there in the first place."
Goodyear finished seventh on this summer's Celebrity Big Brother.
I am pleased about thatQuote:

The actress, who plays Rovers Return landlady Stella Price, told Spirit & Destiny magazine criticisms of her accent when she joined the show almost pushed her to resign.
Collins admitted it was support from her life coach Simon and psychic Cara that help her continue in the role.
"I was nervous to be joining Corrie, but consulted a dialect coach to get the accent right," she said.
"So when I was slated, I seriously considered walking away. But Cara and Simon gave me the confidence to stay, to defy my critics and prove myself."
Collins also revealed that she has gone back to a previous life in sessions with psychics, saying: "I've been regressed twice.
"I was a young girl, living in London in Victorian times and my baby had died... The fear has gone from my life. My aura is shiny and bright."
Collins testified last month against two parents who were convicted of abusing their five children, later admitting the situation had been a "nightmare".
"Michelle Collins has revealed she nearly quit Coronation Street until a spiritual life coach persuaded her to continue on the soap."
Wrong advice,whoever it is should have minded their own business, and as for the dialect coach wasted your money there dear.

Far too much fuss was made about her accent. We all speak differentlyQuote:
