    I first remarked this when Michelle, single mother, was doing a course and working at the cafe .... and yet raised a mortgage on a big house (3 beds) on the Square.

    Also, it doesn't matter how little they earn they all live in nice places and have money to go out and socialise in the pub/eat at the cafe and go out on the town and use taxis.

    It's not just Eastenders .... they do it on Caronation Street and in Emmerdale too... and even Home & Away in Australia sees all the teens at school having plenty of cash to be spending it at the cafe after school every day!

    They buy everything from market stalls that don't have any overheads, and presumably get cheap efficient mortgages from stalls we don't see. They don't buy new cars onlmy dodgy repaired cars from equally dodgy locals.

    They also don't buy places with functioning kitchens so they can eat breakfats in the presumably cheap caff. They save travel money by going to Walford university. They hardly ever need to pay for a TV license or to heat or light up their houses as they spend most of the evening on the nearby pub.

    I alsways remember the time they were celebrating a baby's birthday by singing "For he's a jolly good baby" instead of "Happy Birthday to you" as they astutely realised they could save having to reimburse the copyright holders for their performance of that song.:D

    I've been Money Tipped!
    99% rottweilers with lipstick.

    Yes, but my lipstick is the most beautiful colour. :)


    Ok, if anyone's hair could hold an artificial curl it should be mine right? My 'Cheryls' have dropped out again. And they had have a can of hair spray in them. So now I have sticky slightly wary messy hair, lol.

    Still nice to be dolled up. I'm ready far too early of course and have to twiddle my thumbs for a bit.

    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    There's a thread on this forum which may, shall we say, help shed some light on this, it relates to a recent book. This version is 99p on kindle.
