Coronation Street - November 1985

[@bevtilbrook1675]

Thank you PG for these memories and for putting the episodes together, so exciting 🌻🌻🌻

[@johnjohnston9917]

Love watching these classic coronation Street episodes again. I was 15 back when these episodes were shown and had a crush on Shirley from the factory 😍❤️

She was a beautiful girl. Presumably she's now a beautiful woman. :)

Hello! I am really enjoying watching these great golden oldies! Thank you for uploading them for us all to enjoy! Much appreciated! .... Incidentally, has anyone else noticed the striking resemblance between our Audrey and Queen Camilla??? They are both beautiful looking ladies and they could easily pass for twin sisters! .... Kind Regards, from The UK! xxxxx

After 1995 that's when I am going to stop watching because it goes downhill from there,

I really liked the Susan of 1979-81 Suzy Patterson. For a start she had a Scottish accent!!

[@elterrifico9522]

The Susan in these episodes can’t even act

[@ddrose06]

Oh aye, I wouldn't have thought that one would've ended up in a dead-end job, in Geordyland, living in a grotty bed-sit.

[@multimill]

Agree. This Susan's personality is as bland and non descript as her clothing😮

[@chrismacdonald7955]

You said it. I always thought it pretty weird that this Susan and later her brother Peter when he shows up, that neither one had even a trace of a Glasgow accent despite the fact they were both brought up there. I was brought up there only till the age of 12 and I STILL have my Scottish accent. I'm 70 now 🤣

I remember those days when the nurses wore dresses! Here in Cardiff they wear a top and trousers at the NHS hospitals.

I had the full cape etc…those were the days .. but trousers came in for moving and handling reasons…health and safety etc..

I work with Community Nurses and while we have a lot who wear tunics and trousers, there are still those who prefer to wear a proper nurses dress.

[@kevinfowkes2327]

Definitely not just you. I never noticed how unlikeable he was at the time, perhaps because we 80s kids had a lot of teachers at school who had this kind of personality. But watching him now is really grating.

I always hated his guts. The worst thing Bet Lynch ever did was preventing him from committing suicide.

Are this lot seriously expecting half a day off work to go Christmas shopping!? What do they think the rest of society does? They never heard of late night shopping or the weekend?

[@zeddeka]

This was the 1980s, not now. Late night shopping was much, much rarer than it is now - and even then "late night" meant closing at 8pm. Some shops still closed early on Saturdays and nothing apart from corner shops was open on Sundays.

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

@@zeddeka it's 1986 not 1886. I refuse to believe they have any justification for needing half a day off work to go shopping!

Late night ? As for Sunday shopping didn’t exist until much later .

[@irenemorley75]

@@adrianmole7431 I would never go shopping on a Sunday now.

[@susi-emily]

It's just how things worked then. I remember having a job in the early 90s where the boss would allow all his female staff to take an afternoon off to do Christmas shopping. He was an older gent, from a different time, where women did the shopping. All the men in the office worked their normal hours. We would also have an office party one Friday afternoon a month. The boss would send his secretary to Sainsbury's with £20 to get wine and munchies, and everyone would stop work an hour before finishing time. I've never had a better boss than him.
