The Rovers Return (Toilets)

[jobjockey]

They must extend well into the neighbouring
house, and where do the numerous extras
disappear to when entering and going through
the bar, is there a concert room through there,?
and those small terrace houses are terribly overcrowded.

People made those points many years ago, in the early days of Coronation Street. Nothing changes. Why should it? The programme is popular, so if it aint broke, don't fix it!

[johnk]

It's just a story!

[Hopkirk]

It's designed by the team who created the Tardis.

Years ago there was a small hall as part of the pub - I don't mean the Snug.

so if it aint broke, don't fix it!



Too late...they broke it by fixing it years ago.

I realise I am stating the blindingly obvious here but Coronation Street is a DRAMA not a DOCUMENTARY so one has to allow some dramatic licence. Just go with the flow and enjoy it or find a documentary to pick holes in if you can.

I know it's just a story, how it
has changed, I watch the episodes
from 1992, Alec Gilroy is going to
the memory man's funeral who had
forgotten to take his tablets. And
Jack and Vera perpetual squabbling
are far better than the stories of today.

The Snug where Ena , Minnie and Martha drank their milk stouts now has a dart board and fruit machine. And how does the young lady get her wheelchair through those narrow doors? I know it is a soap but it was better years ago.

I watched it from the first episode as a kid.Always had an affection for ‘tart with a heart’ (Elsie Tanner).

[Baldric]

It's not real, get over it! ;o)

[jobjockey]

December the 9th 1960 was the date of the first
episode, it sticks in my mind I was a week into
the maiden voyage of the 'Oriana'

[baza]

Some of the old characters were "real" now it is worse than Eastenders.

I said this a long time messing about, if true then the Rovers toilets would be in Ken Barlows lounge and their lounge/Kitchen would be on the street round the corner!

I haven’t watched it for years. Used to like it once upon a time. I drifted when Len Ferclough left. And old Ena Sharples added a bit of spice and malice.

[jobjockey]

Yes snowball, I remember the article
about the toilet, and Eileen's sleeping
problems with all the lodgers etc.
And I know it's all fantasy.
