Has just bought a one way ticket to Thailand in Corrie! Surely she couldn't just 'buy a one way ticket to Thailand'? You'd have to have a return ticket without a resident visa?

Stupid programme! Unrealistic!
 
They obviously haven’t thought that one through properly TBH.

There was a similar thing years ago with Jack and Vera having some Cladded tiles on their house. I was pretty sure, given the age of the houses that they would have had to seek some planning consent, but nothing was mentioned.
 
All this coming from your average cobbled street in Manchester that has at least one suspicious death per year and also in the past has seen a Tram crashing onto the street, fires, explosions, building collapses, gun fights, kidnappings, murders to name but a few. I think Jack and Vera’s cladding is probably a fair way down the authority’s list of priorities 😂😂

It's pretty rough where i live but we haven't had a tram crashing into the house yet. Some knobheads have got cladding though maybe a tram crash would sort that shit out.
 
The Street must be growing. They've got the factory, car maintenance etc (Kev & Tyrone), builders yard.
Any more?
Also their very own Policeman. 🙄
Doctors.
I think they should rename it 'Coronation Road'.

Could have got a retirement visa. Not difficult if you have enough cash in the bank.

Don't forget that Kev's garage employs three people full time with one lift.

She should have gone hiking in the Andes with 89 year old Emily Bishop, who has been supposedly doing that for the last 5 years.🤣🤣
 
About time they installed CCTV cameras on the street.
The amount of crime and incidents yet there is no coverage whatsoever.

Todd pinched a heavy heat exchanger yet managed to load into an emergency ambulance all on his own.
They make them tough in Salford.

No chance of us signing Tommy Orpington now that he has retired from Wetherfield County.
 
To make is doubly unreal this is the second time she has done it! Just swanning off to Thailand to leave the stress’s of dealing with family life.

I have always felt since I joined AVFTT 10 years ago that there is a distinct lack of posts regarding the movements of Gail from Corrie, I am glad this is finally being addressed.
 
Scored a great goal against Scotland

Of course it is unrealistic. And the acting is shocking. Stopped watching it years ago. Rest of my household like it.

And a while ago her own son, Nick, decided he'd go and live in Canada with his Uncle! Nothing was said about the lengthy immigration processes involved in doing that! Maybe their family have special arrangements with the Department of Immigration?

She might have dual / multiple nationalities… Was Nick’s ‘Uncle’ not a Canadian as well…?

There’ll no doubt be a plausible answer, but who knows… You could maybe query it with the Passport Office on Monday if you don’t get any joy on here 👍
 
You need a good memory to remember who is/was married to who.
Who had children with which wife/partner etc.
Fortunately I have MrsDP to keep me up to date. 😉

Maybe she has a thing for Ladyboys?

Dave, you're obviously not paying enough attention. You missed the paper shop, the mini market, the kebab shop, the cafe, the solicitors, the pub, the Bistro, the curry house, the ladies hairdressers, the gents hairdressers and, of course, the undertaker. There is more in that one street than the whole of Shipley town centre. Edit to add the chip shop. 🤨
 
Er, I bought a one-way ticket to Thailand over 10 years ago, so yes, it can be done.

I do remember though, on one of my infrequent visits back to the UK, as I was checking in at Heathrow the desk clerk asked to see my return ticket and much to her surprise, I think, I told her that I lived in Thailand and wouldn't be returning anytime soon. I whipped out my Thai driving licence as proof, and was good to go....

I am not, in any way shape or form, hoping or expecting to bump into Ms Platt though!!! Perish the thought....!!
 
I tried to watch this again after about 20 years a few years back, gets exhausting with it being on about 6 nights a week. That kid of Gails was some top class entertainment at the time, David?. Hell of an actor that boy, in the few weeks I was watching it he'd killed someone, buried them under the floorboards, had an affair with his brothers wife, summoned our dark lord, etc.

Nobody can beat the American customs officials, when coming back from visiting England they don't half give you some crap.

"So why did you go to England?"

"I'm from there, my family lives there"

"Yeah but why would you go?"

"To visit them"

[suspicious look]

"We're gonna need you to step off to the side".

Florist as well I think, Roy’s Rolls, Costa, train station, but they don’t seem to have a pharmacy
 
If you need to kill someone and get away with it, just watch the soaps for tips, they do it all the time, in face there’s serial killers walking the streets of them all.

Don’t forget the Costa Coffee shop and Co-op which they never use.
They stick to the more expensive local Paper ( The Cabin) and Grocery shops.

Most of the businesses you mention are not actually located on Coronation St. There are actually only 5 on the street itself...Dev's, The Kabin, Underworld, Kev's garage & Audrey's hairdressers. Others are located on Victoria St, Rosamund St & Viaduct St.

PT, talking about US Customs Officials, we went to US a few years ago, landed at Newark NJ, and when we got to the Customs Officer, she was the rudest person I've ever had to deal with. I wanted to report her to her boss. However, MrsDP saw my cousin waving in the welcome area, so I didn't as it would have taken some time.
As a retired HM Customs Officer I would never dream of speaking to a passenger that way.
 
Emmerdale is The Best soap. I watch it in spells. The mostly 7 pm start is usually handy before a match. When it clashes with Sport that is when I tail off again. I don't bother with all the catch up. Emmerdale has better actors. And is that tiny bit more realistic.
