Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

I must be really sad to do this - this is the context:

Ken:...well, as long as you dress before Peter gets back.
Tracy: Peter?
Ken: Yeah, he's coming up to see Simon collect his football award.
Tracy: Oh, flying business class on Bacon Air is he?
Ken: Oh, you really are the most dreadful cynic.
Tracy: Yeah, and you really are the most dreadful sap.He never learns his lesson.
Ken: Well obviously, or I wouldn't be standing in the kitchen looking at you.
Tracy: Well at least I'm here.
Ken: Anyway I'm glad that Peter branched out and started a new life for himself.
Tracy: Well he had to didn't he, after the mess he made of the old one.

You're not sad at all! I've done the same many times. :D

Well, my idea of "saving your bacon" doesn't fit in with what was said as far as I can tell. I'm stumped...

I have googled Bacon Air ( now THAT is sad ) and apparently it is an inhaler to help people live healthier lives . Don't know if this makes sense but here is a link.

I've googled some far stranger things than bacon air!

I could be wrong, but I don't think a bacon flavoured inhaler fits the context of Ken and Tracy's conversation either. :D

Is it just a play on words then ? That makes sense

Maybe "Bacon Air" was a quip that pigs will fly before Peter means what he says having let Simon down so many times before.

Oooh yes, that works! I definitely think that's what the writer intended by the bacon air quip. Well done! :bow:

Very sad to hear about Jean Alexander, I used to love watching Hilda Ogden.
