[QUOTE="Barbara Fan, post: 245173, member: 21"] Hello [USER=70]@Englishboy[/USER] , thanks for your questions My favourite UK soap was always Corrie, I remember watching if before I was 10 and in the days of Albert, Ena, Elsie, Annie Walker, Stan and Hilda Len Fairclough and co In the 80s it was the kind of show “I set the VCR for” if I was out at GB or badminton or whatever I did as a teenager! And would catch up with it later – that’s when it was on Mon and Wed and I have always followed it and enjoyed it until a few years ago. I think bouncing Billy pushed off the cliffs and falling 100s of feet then back up walking 3 weeks later was the beginning of the end for me. I don’t really follow it now, I have dipped in and out but I don’t think the acting and storylines are great now and it lacks that northern gritty wit and pathos. I still think this is one of the best 5 mins of writing in any soap, sit com or comedy [MEDIA=youtube]e54gzq5Xr0Y[/MEDIA] I used to HAVE TO WATCH Crossroads if i was staying at my Nans in England and I did get into it when when at school and remember the hoo ha when they decided to write Noele Gordon out (My Nan never got over that one!) The show was never the same without her and something was missing. She had charisma and stole every scene We didnt get a proper signal for C4 in early years so missed out on Brookside, and saw 10 mins of EE in mid 80s and it was 10 mins too long for me and have never really watched Emmerdale (Farm) If i was at my Nans I went for a bath then lol 2 My Fav US City – that a hard one, Ive seen a lot of the states (ticking them off but haven’t been for a few years as I usually visit when there is a Storm, Hurricane, Natural disaster or ash cloud!!) I love the great outdoors of the USA and the national parks – they do that really well - but my favourite city is …………………………NOT Dallas – there isn’t much in the centre of Dallasa and no real shopping!) My Fav city is New York, went for the first time in 2002 (was supposed to go on 14.9.2001 but that didn’t happen) It didn’t disappoint – it was exciting, thrilling and great fun. I felt i had seen it before from all of the great films and TV shows. 3. Not really other than Face Book – I post the Dallas calendar and I dip in and out of Terry Wogan, Ken Bruce pages but I’m not really a FB fan Im not on any other Forum except here and not really a twitter fan either 4. I work in the NHS – a therapist in Neuro rehab Thanks again BF x [/QUOTE]
