what happened liz's hair

What is with Liz's shaggy perm. I know Coronation St lives in its own time bubble, but come on, it's not the 80's now.

I really like Erica as a character and I hope they keep her in the street and make more use of the talents of Claire King.

Maria is crazy for dumping Luke, he is gorgeous and can do so much better than the hairdresser with a moustache. Will Caz be Liams new daddy?

what happened liz's hair

I'm not a fan either but that's probably because it reminds me a little too much of my teenage 80s perm.

I do like Liz's new look on the whole though. I suspect Beverley Callard had a say in that. I remember reading an interview with her not so long ago discussing her depression and admitting it took all her courage to walk on set in Liz's skintight monstrosities. I felt really sorry for her so I'm glad she no longer has to go through that ordeal.

Speaking of Liz, her scenes with Leanne were excellent. Leanne's unexpected pregnancy is bringing out the best in the character.

Do any real life restaurants use taxis to deliver their food? It sounds like an odd arrangement to me! Surely it'd be easier and cheaper to employ someone to deliver (but then I suppose the writers would have to think up another contrivance to throw Leanne and Steve together)?

Every take-away I know employs their own drivers. As you say it is much cheaper to do that than use a taxi firm. Also supposing there are no taxis available when someone wants an order delivered? Or is Steve going to leave a taxi on standby just in case and lose possible fares? It's nonsense.

But than it's just another example of where the needs of a contrived storyline override reality and common sense. It happens an awful lot in Corrie!

Is Luke living with Steph or back with Tyrone and Fiz?

The Bistro is not really a take-away though and I think this is a new introduction that Robert has thought up so might make sense to use a taxi service to start with rather than paying staff, buying a car, insurance, tax and fuel ..

Takeaway/food delivery drivers in my area all drive their own vehicles. I assume they're self-employed and have to take care of fuel, insurance, tax etc themselves. I bet they're very cheap to employ.

Never thought of that ... probably due to not living in UK for some time now

I may be completely wrong about it though as I'm making assumptions here!

Dungaree Annie!

I suppose it's as funny as you can get without upsetting the PC brigade.

Whats has happened to the army chasing Caz for being AWOL???

The RMP dont usually forget
