Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 07:48:36 AMThey didn't have access to all the stuff online that kids are exposed to nowadays.  There's a storyline in Corrie (I still watch it) about a young girl who's had a stroke because her boyfriend put pressure on her neck when they were having consensual sex.  Seemingly it's a 'thing'.

It's always been a programme that comments on relevant societal issues, but I doubt any teens watch it.
Marge and I always watch the reruns of old Coronation Street, which to my mind was much better than the present-day run.  I have no wish to watch the new ones.  I did try once, but it just didn't come across as believable and I think they are running out of ideas too.  Going by this particular storyline you mention, it doesn't do anything for me.

We had contractors round laying a few patches over the last month. Only the worst parts where the tarmac was missing. Where it's only broken up they didn't repair it. That was the first repair in years, whereas during the alleged pandemic they had a gang of men out laying a little garden in at a road junction - for no good reason that I could work out - that must have cost over a million pounds, that has since been covered in old leaves and weeds. The same council has also allowed weeds to grow out of the pavements all over the place.

It worried me too Mups but I thought it was a hedgehog as rats clean up and leave droppings but wasn't sure . 
I heard that rats don't like lights but hedgehogs don't bother he went on stoically chomping despite the flash of the camera .
