If sopas are supposed to imitate real life, why then..........

when the characters go bankrupt or have 'no money' they spend all day getting drunk?

[CheekyChops]

Bankrupt or not, I'm surprised that the lot of them don't all attend weekly AA meetings, they are always in the pub, no matter what soap. Eastenders - the Queen Vic, Emmerdale - The Woolpack, Corrie - The Rovers etc

And how come the Eastenders always go to Ians caff / Corrie to Roys caff / Emmerdale to Viv's caff for food, surely it would be far cheaper to eat at home, which after all is only usually about 20 yards away?

[pink-kittens]

Hadn't thought of the Caff ;-)

And why does no one ever have a washing machine in Easties?

They don`t need money to get p!ssed in Eastenders, the dwinks are always on the house

also the only venue in walford for birthdays,wakes,new born baby celebratons,christmas,s and new years seems to be the queen vic,surely these people must be sick and bored of spending 365 days a year usually twice a day in the same pub!

They were shut on New Years Eve, busiest night of the year as well...pfffft

It's a certain thing that however little money people claim to have - they can always find money to smoke and drink !!!
