10 things we learned from Coronation Street this year

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog December 2015, reposted to this blog with permission.)

1.    Always choose your seat on the bus carefully when you're on your work's night out.

2.     Your son might not be your son.

3.    Gail might be older but she's still no wiser.

4.    Never google your symptoms.

5.    Eileen made the worst barmaid, ever.
Steve to Liz: “That woman is guilty of hideous crimes against beer!”
Todd finds his mum's replaced Eva: “It’s like they’ve lost Marilyn Monroe and found Nora Batty!”

 6.    It's perfectly possible to live in Milan all your life and have a Manchester accent, not an Italian one.

7.    Be careful who you talk to on the internet. If it's Jeff from Dubai, unfriend him.

8.    Never leave a burning candle unattended. 

9.    Gambling addiction and alcoholism can be cured by a bit of lippy and the love of a good man.

10.    Deirdre Barlow will always be missed
