Coronation Street

Wow I know us Canadians are behind and because of my busy schedule i have'nt watched all summer, but one of my employees told me to watch the other night and OMG the street blew up as well as the tram crash. Too bad for Our Ashley he was a long time character and Saneta was a good one as well, Molly sure left the show in a good send off with her character.
I found out that they are having Hour long shows monday to friday so our program will catch up to the Brits where we will be on the exact same time. Rita is having a little difficulty getting out. She had visited my store here in Canada last summer which i was at my other store during her visit. She told my staff that she saw that i sell alot of Corrie Fan articles and wanted to see what i sold.

Randy, I think you will find your more than a few hours behind the Brits, more like 6 months so I don't think you're going to catch up in the near future

I've only just spotted this thread, I can't believe it was September before you saw the tram crash.

I was fortunate enough to be there for the week of hour long shows, last December. The finale live show was probably the most intense hour of live TV I have ever worked on. As a life-long fan of the show I was like a Cheshire Cat all week.

I just wanted to let u know that I have never rented your villa. And last year when I rented it was in Calabay Parc. I have never stayed in Oak island

You have me mixed up with someone else.
We just left our villa in Calabay Parc. (rented same Parc again this year). The cleaners arrived before we left and were over all impressed because we had all towels and bed clothes washed and dried for them and returned the house they way it was when we arrived including the setup of the dining room, all she had to do was make beds and Hoover the house.

Randy, don't panic, it's me that's staying in Eric's villa.

I shall endeavor NOT to have any gas explosions resulting in tram disasters. But no promises!

I do like to keep my environment tidy. This was the main control room for the Live episode of Corrie - inside Europe's largest Outside Broadcast Vehicle, which I often work on as chief engineer and vacuum cleaner operator.
