There is absolutely no chance in real life that Tony would obtain planning permission to enlarge the factory.
a) It would be out of proportion to its surroundings in a suburban street
b) There would be too much traffic movement at all hours of the day
c) The planners would not allow the corner shop to be demolished
Apart from that, it's a very realistic storyline...
But was there not a lot of traffic going through when they started to build the Victoria Building? Roy even had to move Hayley's car to make room for the vehicles. Why would the traffic for a little longer disturbing the neighbourhood make a big difference? Especially if Tony argues work places will be created etc.? Or am I beeing cynical? :hmm:
The coming and going of traffic would be permanent with the expansion of the factory with large vans and lorries delivering and taking away material and goods for the factory, not just a one-off while the building was taking place.
How much bigger is the place supposed to become? Surely nowadays it would be cheaper to use slave labour in Sri Lanka or India rather than expensive machinists in UK if your business is that big? :hmm:
Liz lighting up her Cancer Stick in Deidres last night. How did ITV get exemption from the new smoking regulations:readtheru
She is meant to be inside Deirdre's home, smoking inside your home is still permitted. I am sure that film companies have an exemption to film somebody smoking for their storyline. It is good to see that very few people smoke on TV these days though, especially in daytime shows.Quote:

Think that this is a little short sighted of the scriptwriters but I suppose they are preparing for Marcus's exit. Good of Liz to give Harry the brush off for now, I am sure they will have a little liaison before long though :lol:
Really great to see Blanche back in action last night! :lol:
She sure was back on form :lol:
