Corrie camera angle causes uproar

The Coronation Street Blog features in a story in today's Mirror saying that "fans took to our forum" after we reported on the "Chit Chat" Sh*t magazine camera angle on Coronation Street this week.

Well, that's not really what happened.

I found the screen grab picture here on another website and put a link to it on twitter after a fan tweeted us @corostreetblog asking if anyone else had spotted the magazine's title.

In response to putting the link to an external site on twitter, some fans did respond by tweet to us to say it was funny. And indeed it was.

But the two quotes by fans mentioned in The Mirror, saying they were left here on the Coronation Street Blog, weren't.  One of the quotes was the title of that other website and I've never seen the other quote they mention.
