The only time I've heard mention of The Smiths on Coro was when Hayley's son in the record store said he had a white label Smith's 12" at home.

I know me Smiths and I am sure they never had no white label 12". Bah.

I bet Curly had a few Smiths albums tho. I've heard Liam mention Oasis a few times as well.

As Morrissey was(still is?) such a buge fan of Corrie, you'd think he or the Smiths would get more of a mention, wouldn't you?
