Quote:A newspaper page turner, so I can read The News of The World, whilst enjoying a full English
I was told that the NotW was too provincially bluestocking to be suitable to accompany a full English.
Aztec Religious Practices is what I'm told the mature Lady prefers.
You prurient little voyeuristic nosey-parker you.
I think Corrie is successful because it caters for nosey-parkers by giving a semblence of peeping into private lives. With all the cutting and pasting they do it gives one a feeling of frantically running up and down the street peeping in all the windows and trying not to miss anything. Corrie is No 1 because it does it best. It really is expertly done. It sits you right down in front of all those adverts which pay for it.
The introduction of commercial television was a disaster. It handed power over your minds to a bunch of ambitious people whose expertise has been gained in the institutions of the higher learning at the expense of the very people whose minds they play with.
You are just having your urge to nosey-parker used to stick you to a seat to watch adverts and be laughed at by those you raised above you on the slogan "Education, Education, Education."
I gather the third "Education" had been dropped by the end and replaced by something equally nebulous such as "Life Skills". As if we need the bloody state to learn those.
