    Is there any reaction from the viewership in the UK to the storyline
    (that's developing here) re. racism? I can't understand why they
    would pick on Speed Dahl etc. and trust Max to mix with the wrong
    'uns!

    I know it's bad manners to add to ones own post but I forgot to add,
    how are you doing? We are nearly to NY's now, so hope there is huge improvement :)

    Can’t say I have seen reaction, though I haven’t really gone looking. Only real comment I have seen is why would Weatherfield need a help centre for asylum seekers when they only have one ( I guess you have that bit to come
    ) . The storyline drags on, with Spider still undercover, and Max getting
    in deeper. I suppose they pick on Speed Dahl because they look different.
    White immigrants, illegal or otherwise, are not so obvious!

    To be honest currently I am a bit bored. That storyline, Stephen, Hope, not
    to mention the strange play and women after Ken, not doing it for me. I
    need some fun! Maybe Christmas episodes will have some. Classic Corrie
    from 2001-2002, much more fun even when it is miserable.

    What a good idea, so many weddings were ruined back then, better yet
    that it was an improvement for you!

    It's odd you say that, my elder daughter was saying the same thing and
    that she thought she finally would not bother to watch religiously
    anymore and it was that which made me ask you - she clearly isn't
    alone. I believe you aren't the only ones, for the first time ever
    there have been promos for Corrie on tv, they've never needed to do
    that before!

    Silly thing is I didn’t feel I had but may have stretched a little too much reaching for something while making dinner, or lifted something a little
    heavy ( though I am supposed to as part of rehab!). The day it started
    bleeding I actually did very little, so I even wonder if I scratched it somehow. But yes taking great care now.

    We had two weddings planned for 2020. Both moved to 2021, that was the
    second. My son had . an even smaller wedding, maximum 15 people in the
    April. They also planned a big party for this year. Something went wrong
    with the initial plans so they held it in their house and garden,
    thankfully the latter being big enough and the weather cooperated. No additional ceremony, they had a civil wedding in the first place, but bride
    and bridesmaids dressed up again.

    In the end those two weddings were far from ruined, but double the fun!

    There have always been dull patches, so hopefully these stories will end
    and we can enjoy it again

    It will become one of those tales they tell their grandchildren about
    :)
