A camera hidden in plain view next to the Wharfedale system. On a shelf which Yasmeen meticulously cleaned daily (if not more frequently) and which we all considered was going to be Geoff's undoing. And how blind are the Socco's? Surely one of them might have spotted it and asked for the recordings. However to get rid of this rather annoying plot point Geoff regained access to the house and was able to delete the recordings of the week leading up to the attack. But it has been there for months - why not delete ALL of the recordings? They can only assist the defence team if they ever become available. And the camera has gone to the tip.
I am not entirely sure when this episode was due to be transmitted - probably about three weeks ago. However I think I can guarantee that whenever Craig becomes a policeman it will not be 22nd of June on any calendar in this house. Indeed I wonder if it will ever be mentioned again as the episode planned for that date had not been made at shutdown and I believe we will be past that date when the new episodes arrive.
Come Wednesday a new day dawned and as the writer also wrote Friday I suspect that this was originally a one-hour long Friday episode. John Byrom (29 February 1692 – 26 September 1763) - poor man had no birthday in 1700 as there was no leap year, a poet, inventor of a type of shorthand, landowner and apparently also created the terms "Tweedledee and Tweedledum". Although I have been told that you cannot believe everything you read on t'internet. Throughout this episode various people asked after Byron assuming it had been mispronounced!
Imran had sent a text that the cleaners were coming at midday to Adam who wonders why he did not say 12; Imran was concerned that Adam might interpret that as the middle of the night - but Adam says he is not aware that cleaners regularly work in the middle of the night. But why would want noisy cleaners in an office at midday - there might be clients, there might be phones calls? Surely before 9 or after 6 to ensure they comply with the physical distancing needed these days?
Teenage life is so unfair, you start a fight so you get your schooling upgraded at vast cost and have to do shifts in the kebab shop because your sister cannot keep her clothes on and to enable Dev to stay solvent. Yep put like that it really does seem so completely unfair.
On Wednesday Beth and Kirk fell to discussing socks. Like all of us the mystery sock black hole has turned up in Weatherfield and poor Kirk has been losing socks. At one point he had it all sorted. He had socks with the days of the week and he could wear the right socks for the right day so he knew which day of the week it was (and recently we have all struggled with that concept and he is not in lockdown!). Anyway he ended up wearing one Tuesday sock and one Saturday sock and he did not know which day of the week it was. He found out he was wearing odd socks on the way to the Weathy County ground, so it must have been a Saturday. Paul thought about this for a moment and then said that perhaps it was an evening game and therefore might have been a Tuesday; which really left Kirk confused. Anyway Beth suggested buying all black or all blue socks so they all match up. Kirk ignored the instructions and bought some blue and some black. It just won't work will it?
Which just about wraps up the lighter side of the Street for this week.
