Well, here’s to another wild and crazy birthday

(This post was originally posted by Ruth Owen on the Coronation Street Blog in August 2017, reposted to this blog with permission.)

I was looking through some old things in the loft recently when I came across the best birthday card I have ever been given. Not the image of Betty above but this beauty below:

It was given to me exactly ten years ago to this day when I turned 25. Back then, I was young and hungry. Now I’m just hungry.  

It was an official Coronation Street greeting card copyrighted by Granada in 2006 and produced by Hallmark. My brother got it for me and the picture and message on the front is just brilliant. Nowadays, I’d take a quiet drink in the Rovers with Norris over a wild and crazy night out anytime!

Right… it’s QUIZ TIME. At what Weatherfield event were Nozzer, Blanche and Emily pictured at on the front of this card? 

The prize for the first correct answer in the comments section below (should you wish to claim it) is a Newton and Ridley Best Bitter beer mat, as pictured:

Ready, steady… PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT!

Guess the mystery Coronation Street star - Day 15

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog April 2017, reposted to this blog with permission.)

Every day for the past two weeks, we've been running a series of old pictures of some of the past and present Coronation Street cast.

You may well have seen these pictures before, in which case they'll be easy for you. But for those of you who are new to seeing these pictures, I hope you find them interesting and they give you a smile too.

Leave your guesses as usual in the box below.  There's no prize for getting it right (sadly) and it's just for fun - so don't ring in.
