Agreed. Now that I’m older and more easily bored, it’s nice to look back at where my first wife got her witless bloody ideas about the world from. It’s madness in a bottled bag of frogs on a rice crispie bobbing along on a perilous journey across the garden pond. What’s the fascination though? Nosiness? We do enjoy a bit of drama and gossip going on a few doors down though don’t we? I do, I never used to, but I do now.
@@DementedNun121I have a pretty good command of our native language, but I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re saying; without punctuation there’s no sentence, and where there’s no sentences, there’s just nonsense - what on earth are you actually saying? 🤷♂️😕 ?? Edit: Oh right - the profile picture - yeah, good question, what *IS* going on there with him exactly? 🤷♂️
That Steve Macdonald. He isn't sure if his parents deserve his respect. That little bastard is making his second, of many, trip to see the magistrate, and he's wondering who deserves HIS respect.
Im giving my age away now, but I remember when a packet of crisps cost 5p and 10 regal kingsize cigerettes cost 36p. My mum smoked so I bought her 10 cigs every xmas and birthday and it took months to save that 36p lol.
@@Trisha-2023 I remember 5p and 10p crisp and cigs were cheap back in the 70s I remember my mam sending me with a note to buy 10 cigs and she would ask if she could pay for them on my dads payday and I remember chippy night once a week and it was a treat on my dads payday gosh the memories I could talk all day about the 70s I’m a 60s baby so I remember my childhood growing up in the 70s when neighbours had nothing but were happy 😃 we had secondhand clothes off the flea market and hand me downs off the neighbours and we was proud kids!
I love hearing all the stories from the 60s 70s, I was an 80s baby, but I remember thinking as a teenager, I was born in the wrong era lol, cheapest I remember cigarettes was £1.00.
@@EveHenleySpread Haha, well yes indeed, of course they were making a 'modern woman' statement, I'm sure my Granny would've have been horrified at the time, so I'm just standing in for her. Some things are just right & some things just aren't, I don't go to pubs, but I'm guessing many woman still wouldn't do this & for that, we should all be grateful - Cheers!
@@EveHenleySpread Right, you're cancelled, I'm calling my Twitter mob on you, woman/ they can drink out of whatever they want, I hope they start using buckets or maybe potties, what a 'brave'' statement that would be!! :-)
Ena Sharples used to drink pints, and minni , but I do get what you're saying It didn't really suit her, when I think of a pint of larger and a woman I think of Vera Duckwotth and Lily Savage haha
Miss Fenwick of Bettabuys - I'd forgotten all about her. A cross between a Regimental Sergeant Major and an Ice Queen. Didn't Curly develop yet another futile passion in her direction? He seemed to suffer more crushes than a 1970s school kid.
@@angelapay3718 I like your comment about Ashley on helium.Brilliant.But you're so right , it's a put on voice. Another one that annoy's me is Audrey Roberts so called posh voice.
Ah, the Duckeggs. They're so chuffed because they think they've beaten Alf, out of a fair whack. I can imagine the multiple sob-stories they told Alf, and how Alf took pity on them. Yet, Vera has the neck to call other people "scumbags."
Unmmmm if Vera hadn’t checked out yet then she did not steal. You kinda have to wait for the criminal act to occur. You can’t charge pre crime……or can you in England? Maybe I’m wrong OOPS 😊😊😊. Curly did that on purpose to make sure Vera wouldn’t get in trouble. Awwww how sweet. And I answered all my questions from above….😊
Oh yeah, never noticed that before! How, why? Deliberate, a continuity slip up? Several takes edited together? Perhaps they thought we wouldn’t notice if we were concentrating on the dialogue lol.
Isnt Andy MacDonalds girlfriend Amy Nelson beautiful! Shes so petite with perfect features, you can tell hes totally smitten with her! Poor Vera & Jack trying so hard to bring up grandson, baby Tom So desparate for money but taking none of the benefits due to them & living on beam end themselves! So dedicated & determined that baby Tom has everything! They are both of an age where bringing up an infant is terribly tiring & depleting but they wont give in or give Tom up. I just love the pair of them for Being devoted grandparents & Jack is just adorable with baby Tom, watching them together on their own brings a lump to my throat...😢 Thanks E.H.S. 🇬🇧👧
Oh dear, another unbelievable character... Scott... Keep it up @EveHenleySpread, you are doing a fantastic job of keeping me amused... I see you are loading 1997's now, well done, I am enjoying how pathetic corrie was even back then, many thanks.... I mean that. :)
Just imagine how much, that pos Vera, stole from Alf, on top the 220 quid of tick she owed him. But, catch her out. You're the villain of the piece, and she's the victim. She has no shame. I have absolutely no sympathy for people who are incapable of being ashamed.
What's Steve, barely 18? Not exactly maternal, let alone smart, for Liz to be suggesting that Steve live in that house on his own after the place had been robbed 🤷🏻♂️
Sarah Lancashire, unlike so many other soap-stars, actually acts the character of Raquel and went on to play some excellent roles in many other TV dramas; her acting ability was always far too good to stick around and be typecast. So many other stars simply recite their lines, they don’t act as such, it’s more of a demonstration of memory and then when you watch them being interviewed, it’s almost as if they’re doing it whilst still in-character - sadly though, many of them aren’t, because they just can’t, which may explain why they make their entire professional acting career portraying just one single character, or if they’re ‘fortunate’, they bounce from one soap to another as if they’re visiting from the original soap they started in. There’s many that can act and do, but they’re the minority. Wow - why do I even care?? 🤷♂️ We all behave like that anyway - it’d be nice to get paid for just being yourself on TV though, and perhaps that’s why reality TV stars become celebrities just by being on screen for a few short weeks.
The good old days when you could feed the ducks in the pond with a loaf and not get harassed by the litter goons even though the ducks ate the evidence.
Jack warns Curly about the 3 million unemployed in England. That seemed to be the case for many years before Jack's warning. So, how in the name of Christ were Jack and Vera employed when there were so many unemployed? You would think that there would be a queue a mile long to take their places. People who would actually do the job they were paid to do, and be happy to do it.
Rene wasn't his first wife, he'd been widowed before but we never saw her - at one point in the early 70s he was after the previous occupant of the corner shop, Maggie Clegg (Betty's sister)
@@EveHenleySpread Yes, thats right..I think he may have worked for the post office before marrying Rene? I love these old episodes, thanks for putting them on..☺
You're very welcome! Glad you're enjoying them! Yes you're right, he did work for the Post Office for many years before giving it up when he married Rene. He first appeared as early as 1961 as one of Frank Barlow's army pals. (Ken's Dad).
1989 But watched some from Early 80s to mid 80s And 1970s look very dated that era, But the 1960s in colour are great to see, Seeing a young Kenny Barlow 👱Still a smug twat in them days LOL 😀
