  1. Respect to the late Mr. Warren. The Mistress hasn't missed an episode of Corrie in years.

    1. I haven't seen an episode of Corrie in years. Possibly the last time I remember watching it was around the time Alf Roberts died in the chair at his own birthday party. Or when Bet Lynch had to be rescued from that fire at The Rovers. Jx
