re Paul and Lloyd ..... hands up who has spoken 'that offending phrase' in the dark past? :-0..the shame :-(....but what a stare that Paul gives out. :-|

I loved the saying Deidre quoted as being one of her mother's (Blanche) who always had the best lines imo........."it's a small world but I wouldn't like to hoover it." :-D :-D

edit: Transmogrified = in a surprising or magical manner. ;-)

I've heard that phrase many times but quite honestly never considered it to be a racist comment - is it just me?

I hadn't heard the expression for decades, didn't know the meaning either so I don't know why Miss Prim Sophie Webster is involving herself. OTT.

In the winter the females on the street - except Emily and Rita - wear clothes that wouldn't keep a budgie warm. Now it is July they are dressed for the cold - why was Drearie wearing her winter coat last night? :-S

Probably because they couldn't envisage uk ever having another heatwave.

I have heard the phrase although not one I'd probably use. But it never honestly occurred to me that it was racist.

I suppose the inference is that only white people are fair/honest but I am not sure why somebody Sophie's age would automatically find it offensive.

But we have got drugs in emmerdale so maybe they needed a 'cause' to focus on. Can't actually imagine Lloyd's character worrying about it though.

yeah but they do know we get cold winters :-D

I think the prolonged fuss is out of character for Lloyd too Ann. As for Sophie and Jenna standing at the bar like a couple of startled rabbits in a cars headlights and Sophie asking Paul if he wanted to be served (oops, is that non pc?) by the Asian or the lesbian!!! :-S :-S Are they suggesting it is ok to victimize someone for an unfortunate comment?

yes I thought that too Island....one rule for one and.......

Just heard someone say this morning that the turn of phrase used by Paul was connected to playing cowboys and Indians (sorry North Americans) :-(....the good men wore white hats ? :-S :-D

yes Mau - I connected with cowboys and Indians - white man - redskins

Lloyd say Paul speak with forked tongue :-| :-D

and a quote from Tonto in the Lone Ranger - "him plenty dead" :-D :-D :-D

What a tangled web we weave...................................I am catching up with the story, but I don't know what to think.

I have heard the expression years ago, but have never used it to my knowledge. Its like that other expression my dear old Mum used to use when I asked her where she had been 'Up in Annie's room!'. Long past into the mists of time.

The soaps do have causes every now and again. When it ends, the voiceover always says 'If you have been affected by So-and-So's story, contact .........'

I did really know what transmogrified meant...............I just didn't want to be a clever clogs!!!!! lol [before you all jump on me, I am NOT saying that Mau, is!]

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

How is Roy going to cope when Hayley goes off on the Great Journey?

Where has Tracy's daughter gone too?

gone off with little Simon somewhere no doubt!!!

Hello AnnCardiff

Maybe they are both with Maria's little son and Fizz's daughter???

We saw Amy tonight, so now we know where she is. Is it the same actress? Pity she looks straight into the camera, lol.

Now your starter for 10..................................is there a more devious, cunning, conniving, rude, smart@rse, creature than Tracey Love?

Bit of a weepy this evening wasn't it.

I had not realised how bad those odds are. One in five is alive after five years.(as Hayley said, that means four in five are not). I believe she is going out of it sometime soon.

A very sad Corrie Ann and nothing to smile about :-(

*sniff...sniff....Beautifully acted by Roy and Hayley. *howls into hankie........what is going to happen to poor Roy when Hayley pops her clogs...... :-( :-( <3

ah yes a fine performance *blows hard......he'll need his mother now BC :-) ;-)

Ah poor old Hayley, she will not be clip clopping over the cobbles in her red anorak for much longer.

I do like Julie Hesmondhaugh [I don't know if I spelt it correctly] she is so unlike her character, she is a blonde under that wig.

Its gonna be a weepy ending, I can feel it in my waters.
