Classic Corrie part two

[Kannet]

Last thread is nearly full.

Dave he would ,Percy reminds me so much of my Grandad in looks, who was also a cook during WW2 although not as irritating as Percy!

It also amuses me that they refer to each other as Mrs Bishop and Mr Sugden despite living together for years,my Paternal Grandmother always referred to her best friend as "Mrs Malloy"and her friend referred to her as "Mrs O,Shea (not real names) they lived in the same street for over 40 years and had both emigrated from Ireland around the same time,maybe a generational thing?

Yes what was the weird slow motion thing?

Joining back in after a while were my recorder didn’t work, what year have we made it to?

1992

My grandmother had a close friend/neighbour called Mrs Lewis. They confided in each other about all sorts of things and often had a cup of tea together in the local cafe, but were never on first name terms.

The acting is so good in Classic Corrie. Great dialogue too. I stopped watching modern CS two months ago and I don’tmiss it.

I think that Victoria Wood must have taken ideas from Corrie for dinnerladies (she certainly used many of the cast!). When Percy talks about making gravy under shell fire, it always reminds me of Stan talking about his dad's heroic cooking efforts during the war.

I've finally caught up! Got really far behind again and avoided this thread as I didn't want any spoilers.

Racquel has begun to simper.

Lots of weird camera angles this morning. Don't & Julie through the kitchen window, close up shots of Mike's cigar and the statue and crucifix in Ivy's house

Don and Julie

Julie was in series 1 of Luther. It's weird seeing her in this

I.read they has a new producer in 1992, maybe they were trying to be arty with the odd camera shots?I remember getting free tickets from night clubs on my 18th like Andy and Steve do night clubs still do that?

Oh no, they’re doing the “effects” again 😲

I reckon 'Don't and Julie' is quite apt, given what is going to happen to Don shortly.

I loved this morning's episodes. There are so many good storylines at the moment. Double ancient Coronation Street sets me up for day.

@x2boys Yep i got tickets too.

I also got a birthday card from the council.

A few days later they sent me my first poll tax demand
I was 18 in 1991.

@HelenaDove how nice of the council!😂

Just referring back to last week when Rita was packing for the honeymoon.

I was a bit that she was taking a travel plug adapter to the Cotswolds!.

Do they have different sockets down there then?

I don't think so!

I thought that WheresThatCat,I thought may be I had misheard and she meant a travel iron

Tights in the fridge! “My nasal passages”

Emily in a psychiatric ward all those nurses walking last in proper uniformity hats, I trained as a mental health nurse I started in 1993 we didn't wear a uniform let alone a hat

Uniform and hats*

I'm so behind and trying to catch up. Almost wish it was only on a few time a week. Just watching dons accident. Poor ivy

He's being horrible to her, I know Ivy must be hard work at times but he knew that when he went back to her .
