Tvor's Classic Corrie, Monday June 5

WTN Classic Corrie Monday, June 5, 2000
Welcome to another week of WTN Classic Corrie. Today we peruse the
diaries of some of the residents.
Vera writes... Rtommeh's poorly again, I just had him round two weeks
ago but I had to take him round again to the surgery this morning. I
asked Rjack to pick up sommat for his tea but he always finds an excuse
to skive and I can't show my face in Alf's now we've go so much on tick.
Well what are we supposed to do? Anyway Tommy has the mumps, doctor
said, even though he's a bit young for it. That's what you get for
waiting around in the doctor's office, you pick up all sorts. Well I
didn't know mumps could be devastating to a grown man, did I? Never
heard of such nonsense until that nosy Mrs. Pearce stuck her oar in and
from the way she was talking, grown men can be rendered useless to a
woman so that's it, Rjack will have to kip somewhere else until Tommy's
better. He doesn't like it much but I won't hand him any excuses on a
plate, he's got enough of them now, "Oh Vera, it's not my fault" Yeah
that's what he'd be saying. Any road, Ivy said she'd take him for a few
nights only it turns out Don chucked Jack back out. Come to find out
that he and Ivy aren't living as man and wife, he's kipping in t'other
bedroom!! And she never said a word to me! Well it's too bad, innit but
Jack is going to lodge at Curly's for a few nights when all was said and
done.
Maureen's wedding journal... Dear Diary, I can hardly wait to marry my
Reggie although I did rather fancy a spring wedding. Still we'll be
married that's the most important thing and sooner than later if
September is still a go. Oh there's still so much to sort out with the
wedding and all. We haven't even decided on a honeymoon. I was telling
Ivy at work over the bog rolls that I thought Paris would be sooo
romantic but Reggie has Rome in mind. Ivy thought Rome would be lovely,
what with the Vatican and the Pope and everything but I suppose that's
her sort of thing, being religious and all. There's even this one
ceiling with famous paintings on it, Ivy knew about it, the Sistine
Chapel it's called. Reggie reckons I would be seeing plenty of ceilings
in our married life and I should start with the best!! I didn't know
they rented out rooms there! There's one fly in the ointment though, Reg
is resisting moving in to my house with me and Mother. It really is more
practical and I just know Mother will learn to love Reggie once she gets
to know him better. He's really changed so much, so mature and powerful!
Well I'm determined to get my way on this even if I do have to give up
Paris.
Deirdre's notebook... Just a few lines while I have five minutes before
the tea is done. Friday is the day Mr. Scott takes over the shop. He
says I'll still have me job but I'm still a bit leery. He's an odd one,
is Mr. Scott, sort of oily if you get my drift. I think it's finally
sinking in with Alf that he's leaving the shop and I think it isn't half
bothering him. Wistful, he was today over a loaf, wittering on about
supplying Daily Bread to folks. That shop really has been his life since
he married Renee all those years ago. Audrey will be too glad to see the
back of it, I can tell you. She were on about it again this morning,
only she got on her moral high horse about being glad to see the back of
folk like Steve MacDonald just as his dad came in and heard the whole
thing. She wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise as she went on and on
about the lad's criminal past and not knowing right from wrong, probably
not taught at home. She were dead embarrassed though when Jim finally
spoke up and told her what for. I know he and Liz teach the boys right
from wrong and really that Steve is just too high spirited and
impulsive for his own good. But Audrey*. Well some folks just won't be
told. Then this arvo Steve were in for a sarnie and he certainly didn't
have owt nice to say about his dad. Terrible thing this falling out
between Liz and Jim with the lads caught in the middle. The boys don't
realize how complicated a marital row can really be and though I haven't
had any details from Liz, I'll be willing to bet there's a lot more to
it than we know. Steve was surprised to hear that his dad were defending
him to Audrey but he was too proud to back down*. Kids!
Curly's DayTimer... What am I going to do about Elaine Fenwick! She's
after my job that I know. Just this morning she was scolding Maureen and
Ivy for nattering. Why I should have warned her that Maureen is marrying
the area manager when I should have kept me mouth shut I don't know. Too
nice for me own good! All I got was a load of bother and a quote from
company policy for my trouble. Then Angie had a go at me at dinnertime
in the pub, telling me I ought to "kill her with kindness" as it were.
Be nice to her, she said, she's probably lonely, she said. Well maybe
she's got a point, so I tried, I really did. But Miss Fenwick only
spouted more rules and regs about fraternizing with the staff and firmly
rejected my strictly platonic invitation for a quiet drink after hours.
Fine then, No more Mr. Nice Guy! And on top of it all I'm lumbered with
Jack Duckworth. Vera's evicted him because she thinks he'll be impotent
if he catches mumps from the baby. The worst that can happen is that he
would become sterile and I don't suppose that matters much at his age.
Jack as per usual, is going to take full advantage. He won't tell Vera
that there won't be any physical repercussions so that he can have a few
nights' peace and I suppose I do feel a modicum of sympathy for him,
trying to raise a toddler at his age so I agreed to say nothing.
Kevin's diary... What was I supposed to do, eh? I had to come into work
today in the end, I've got a wife and baby to feed and a mortgage to
pay. What else could I do but knuckle under to Baldwin but I'll be
damned if I go crawling to him to apologize for what I said. He came in
this morning, the toerag and insisted that it wasn't him what grassed me
to the police. Said there wasn't anything in it for him so why should
he. Well maybe he's got a point, he always looks out for himself, does
Baldwin so I accepted that. But I'm still not apologizing to him and I
told him so and he backed down for once. Still he made great pains in
pointing out that it were Steve that got me into all this trouble. Well
maybe yeah, but he's just a kid and Baldwin wasn't all sweet and
innocent in it all either. Later in the pub he started mouthing off
about Steve costing him money cause the insurance demanded repayment for
the accident repairs. Good enough for him, I say but if Steve goes down,
so do I and I think it bothered him more that he'd have to get another
mechanic than it did me getting in trouble. Why I put up with it I don't
know. One of these days I'm going to tell him what I think of him. I
will. Really. Then that prat Steve comes to my house when we're trying
to have our tea and starts shooting his mouth off about this side
business he's running printing tshirts using Mike's machinery. Sally put
the boots to that quick enough, what we don't know won't hurt us. Don't
need to give Baldwin anymore ammunition do we? At least he felt sorry
and said so and offered to pay any fine I get but that won't be enough
and if all we get is a fine, we'll be getting of easy, I say.
Jack's writes... I don't believe this! Vera's gone and locked me out
o't'ouse! Just because Rtommeh has the mumps. It's not even a serious
case! She says it can render me bits dysfunctional so maybe she's got a
point. As I were telling Raquel, Vera does worry about our love life. Ok
so I were putting it on a bit much when I said that Vera couldn't keep
up with me but I can't have a lovely young woman thinking I'm not up to
it, can I? That were quite a surprise to find out that Don and Ivy are
all but split and all but it didn't help me find a place to kip. Still
it must be true because Mavis were in and said same as Vera, about how
it can take a man with serious affects. Too bad I had to see to
something on the floor just as Alf came in, I couldn't risk him
mithering me about that bill we owe him. Mavis kept on conversing with
thin air though, silly cow. Alf asked her if she was ok and the poor
lass wittered on about so much we still don't know* You can say that
again, Mave and I'd have had a right laugh if I weren't trying to avoid
Alf!
Joe Broughton makes notes... Sally confided in me again today. I knew
there was something on her mind and I didn't want to pry but I assured
her if I could help I certainly would. In a heartbeat, though I didn't
say it. She's so worried about that clod of a husband of hers who really
doesn't appreciate her at all and I did tell her that. He's let her down
and now they are facing a fine and who knows what else, all because she
wanted him to help out a young lad. Ok so maybe it wasn't the right
thing to do but it seemed like it at the time so it really wasn't her
fault no matter what she thinks. She's a good wife and a good mother is
Sally. Johnathan really likes her. So do I if the truth be told and I
think she likes me too, or else she wouldn't trust me with her
confidences, would she?
