If I had to pick a soap to watch, I'd take the humorous, light hearted approach of Corronation St over the ultra seroius Cockney steriotypes in Eastenders any day. If people on here think I'm a simple-minded, vacuous saddo without a brain or a life.....that's fine; I don't know you, I don't want to know you and I really don't give a monkey's what you think of me or my TV viewing habits.You all stick to your high-minded pursuits, I'll stick to Corrie and watching England beat seven bells out of Australia to retain The Ashes.
