E/Enders & Corie

[Jemisa]

I've been wondering for a long time if anyone else has noticed that in E/Enders and Corie no-one seems to have any carpets, you constantly hear the clack of shoes on bare floors even in the Rovers, I've never seen a pub without a carpet. We're past 'Spit & Sawdust' times aren't we?
I know its daft but it bugs me.

It's probably the stone floors ..times are hard now with recession,
burnt all carpets and wooden floors..

[Jemisa]

Pretty sure they're wooden floors (Sound like it)

[EvianBaby]

The pub I worked in had wooden floors - the original floorboards from when it was built.

So dose one of the others in the village.

[EcclesCake]

I can't remember the last time I went into a pub that had a carpet!

Bare wood and stone floors seem to be more popular, and easier to clean. I'm not referring to just trendy bars; country pubs and local pubs both have eschewed carpets in my experience.

I've never noticed a dearth of carpets...............that's all I'll be looking for tonight now.

[Ric.ror]

I'll tell you what bugs me - Kevin Websters purple jacket
Hes had it years and theres no sign of a rip or tear or speck of oil and hes supposed to be a mechanic

What about Hayley's red anorak then in Corrie, must have been the biggest value for money item - she's been wearing it for YEARS!

[Ric.ror]

Yeah but Hayleys the type to look after her clothes
I'd bet her knicker drawer is all in order

[pillj123]

you must live in the town!!
We rural folk have plenty of pubs with no carpet...that way walkers can visit with muddy boots...and dogs can be welcome too!

[Ric.ror]

Its all laminate flooring now

[hc4361]

No carpets in my locals either - and the screech of the chair legs being dragged across the floor is worse than chalk on blackboard.

[Ann]

I spend half my time sitting on the floor to watch TV in my lounge (always have done - OH reckons I must have been a cat in a previous life, ha ha!!) Think how uncomfortable to sit on laminate flooring without a lovely spongy carpet .........

[tearinghair]

It's not on tonight, craft. Football instead.

[gsr600]

headwreck. I won't be inviting you to may place them, I lay on mine - zzzzzzz !

[silliemillie]

Its not so much the Pubs that bug me, its the way everyone wears their shoes/boots in the house,

Tanya in EE is the worst for clonking around in her high heels. Whenever they want to go out they just jump up & leave the house. I have to go and get my shoes & coat from the hall, find my keys, bag & mobile!

I suppose we are getting back to that old poetic license again!!

[4getmenot]

cant say there are carpets in my locals either

[Zacs-Master]

Never been in a pub without a carpet? You need to get out more Jem.

[LoftyLottie]

Agree 4get. Proper pubs don't have carpets!!

But I too like carpets to lounge about on at home. Laminate floors just don't have the cosy factor!!
