Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

That was a long time ago now .. what happens to vehicles under these circumstances which the owners don´t claim?

I'm not sure, Perdy. I guess they are either crushed or sold. However, this wasn't just an ordinary car, it had all her belongings in it. What happened to them?

It makes me cross when scriptwriters insult us with their storylines that they think we have forgotten. Mary was waxing lyrical about her adventures when travelling in Apapulco and South America etc when we all know that she spent her life trying to get away from her invalid and domineering mother's clutches and looked after her for all her adult life. Where did all this travelling come from .........another thing ......where the hell is her camper van?

Mary's always had an unlikely tale to tell about any given situation. As they're done for comic effect I don't take them too seriously. I see them as a mixture of fantasy and exaggeration. It sounds like she was a deeply lonely child, and I wonder if she started making up stories to comfort herself?

As for the camper van, my guess would be she's in no hurry to claim it because she much prefers to live at Dev's. She's never mentioned having to buy new clothes etc so perhaps she was allowed to remove her belongings from the van at some point?

Who can afford to just write off a camper van ???? Surely she could have just come to an arrangement of paying so much a month. That way she still has a claim on it . This way it will just get sold by the Council. Madness.

mary is too preoccupied now with getting her leg over with brendan, dev im sure would lend the money to release the van to her

She might have claimed it and parked it somewhere. Or perhaps she's sold it since she would have had to live in a caravan park. This is all guesswork because nothing's been said on screen.

Corrie writers have a habit of leaving out details - like when Carla didn't buy half the pub after all.

Fair point Dazzle !!!

Did anyone notice the tax disc on Woody tonight when Roy and Nessa went to Cathy's house. Can one opt to have a disc? I didn't think so. I thought that discs had been abolished

The DVLA has always insisted that the so-called “historic vehicles” still need to be “taxed” – that is, registered and displaying a “nil value” tax disc. Even though tax discs are being scrapped, historic vehicles will need to be registered so they show up in police systems. Not sure whether Woody falls into this category but maybe ???

It still needs to be registered annually but there's no longer a disc to display. My car still had its old tax disc on display because I keep forgetting to remove it. No doubt lots of people are the same, although Roy isn't really the type to be so remiss.

I wish Johnny would leave now his family all hate him. However, no doubt he'll stick around so that Liz can comfort him...

I wonder if that's the last we've seen of Rob?

I'm not sure why Robert won't leave Carla alone and is even threatening her now! Maybe he and Tracy are well suited after all!
