Mend your speech a little, Tealeaf sire,
Lest it may mar your fortunes. (1.1.97)

Of course I know the difference between Corrie and King Lear.

Everybody knows that Regan and Goneril Platt live with Sally and Kevin.
Sophie and Rosie are, of course, the wayward daughters of King Lear (alias Tony, who spends his time learing at Maria !)
Edmund lives with Gayle and spends his time framing others.
Norris the Fool lives with Emily Bishop.

Need I go on .... for heaven's sake ?

My goodness - I haven't watched Corrie for over 10 years.
I had no idea it had become so 'cultural'

The only difference between Corrie and Shakespearean actors is that the former are protected by a glass screen, and are safe from rotten fruit and veg being pelted at them.

If Dickens were alive today he'd be a script writer on Corrie.

'I'm afraid you haven't quite got what we're looking for.'

'Though they are auditioning for Bottoms next-door, if you want to give them a try.'

'Next!'

History says that Henry V was a Lancastrian..and I reckon that would be how he talked.

That explains why Lizzy Battenburg (as Duke of Lancaster) talks with a mouth full of (mushy) peas.

...although Martha Longhurst has left the fold.

She no longer drinks in the Snug with Ena and Minnie.

She drinks her stout in the Flying Horse, which also employs her as a pole dancer at weekends.

It doesn't advertise the pole dancing. It still has a reputation to uphold.

A reputation as a better class of public house gained when it traded under it's old name of The Flying Donkey, when it's mine host was Annie Walker's arch nemesis, Nellie Harvey (Mollie Sugden.)

Who was really no better than she ought to be, and certainly no better than Mrs Walker, who claimed to be descended from 'the Beaumonts of Clitheroe'.
