Classic Corrie 3

[Kannet]

Here you go

Dereks car tax in his car said 94, yes I’m that sad

I was wondering when Derek's giant paperclip car would appear. Hurray!

You think you're sad, justthecat?

I noticed that Kevin and Sally's new car (which neither of them ever seem to drive) has had two different registration number plates in the last fortnight.

And, that Curly's car has the wrong upholstery and headrests for that age and model of Escort.

Yes, I know I probably should get out more.......

You’ve topped me where’s that cat 😹

And I’m sure the paper clip on Dereks car was bigger 😁

Yes I seem to remember the paper clip differently?

I think the paper clip lights up in bright pink neon📎

The lovely Samir will be appearing soon....

When Alex met Tanya in his car she came out of a door at the side of the cafe. I always wonder about how Alma and Gail , they hang their coats and handbags just behind the door to the flat from the cafe which is also the door to the toilets. Wouldn't their stuff get nicked? and couldn't any random just wander up the stairs to the flat? No one ever mentions having to clean the "bogs", urgh. I just don't believe someone as glamourous and clean as Alma could stand that greasy cafe, it makes me shudder, she'd have it done up.

Yes she would have suited something more elegant than that cafe maybe a wine bar pr,haps?

It’s touching to see Percy, Maureen and Maude at the armed services cemetery. God Tanya is a total bitch

Maureen ‘s Dad was an American soldier I forgot about that!

The war grave scenes made me quite tearful

Those scenes in the grave yard were really well done and very touching particularly Percy getting emotional I don't think I would have appreciated it as much the first time around ,I was only 20, but now i,m 46,with my own kids I have a different perspective ,Corrie at its best.

Yes, got me when Percy had a tear in his eye

Yes, the visit to France was very nicely done.

Do you know, I actually dreamed about that blasted paperclip last night !!

Wow, I remember Jim with a temper but hitting his son in the face! Did he ever hit Liz?
I'm surprised Diedrie didn't shout out that she'd snogged Ken last week! Slimeball.

Yes Jim did hit Liz at least once.

She did,nt actually snog him though Knickers she just kissed him on the lips,but yes he was being devious he didn't tell her about Denise or try and put Deirdre off at all.

Anybody watch coronation street at Christmas special? Deirdre and Dev 😲

Yes, that bit with Dev and Deirde was very funny and cringe, I bet they had a laugh.

Yes, saw the Christmas episodes special.

Is there anyone at all that Tracy hasn't slept with?

Mavis and Rita looked older in the 1970s than they did in the 1990s

I agree that the French scenes were good. Percy made me laugh talking aboout the effects of French bread on the digestive system and then I felt tearful when he shed that tear. What a bombshell for Maud to land on Maureen.

This isn't the first time "big man" Jim has hit Steve (he hit him in front of Vicky). Shocking that it was resolved that they "were all to blame" and Liz just puts it down to "Jim's famous temper". However, where I grew up physical violence against children was quite the norm at home and school.

Deirdre is great, so glad she is back. I loved her outburst in the pub, such wrath.

You're quite right, SapatSea.

When I was growing up here in Lancashire in the1970s (only about 25 miles from where Corrie was filmed) it was normal to get a slap on the back of the legs, or a belt around the head from parents.

Sometimes even a 'pasting' (which was a proper over-the-knee smacked bottom) if I was being a particularly obnoxious brat !!

Don't think it did me any harm at all.
