Yes, Jonathan. I got back last Sunday after 5 weeks in Perth, Australia visiting a friend. Patsy Wow - 5 weeks! What was the weather like etc? Did you have a nice time? (Sorry - going off-topic...)

Go off topic any time you like. We all do. It was wonderful. Boiling hot. Rained a couple of times. I got sunburn and still have it. Even some I got on the 7th and 9th! The only downside really was the food poisong my friend gave me 2 weeks running and the $480 excess baggage I had to pay. LOL! Had a wonderful time. Even her mother was nice to me this time. LOL! I did have trouble with swollen feet from that heat but that seems to be settling down now I'm back and cold. She has a new house with a pool and that was wonderful. Nicer than the house she lived in last time I was over. There's some pics here letstalksoap.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1135465078&page=7 if you want to see them. Need to scan some more. Patsy

It was bit too hot for me. It was 28 the day I arrived. It really hit you as soon as you left the airport. 31 last Saturday when I left. I am glad to be home though. Missed my dogs. And the mobile bill will be a lot cheaper now my dad's not texting me all the time. I should never have taught him how to do it. LOL!

LOL, Patsy! 5 weeks in that heat must have got to you a bit after a while! I'm a big dog lover! What breeds are your dogs?

It did. It was far too hot for me. The humidity was quite bad at times and up in Kalgoorlie it's meant to a different kind of heat or something but it was just hot to me. Barbara's a cocker spaniel and Louise is a springer spaniel.
I got up to where Pauline had accepted Joe's proposal. She's been grinning a lot. I'd forgotten she had teeth! Dot was funny trying to get Pauline to the tube station for 3pm.

Bert said something like 'I've been away...' maybe Bert and Joe were in the nick together? If they had both been in prison Pauline could hardly be that harsh on Joe: Arthur, Mark and Martin were all locked up, and she forgave them.

yeah it depends on what they were in for though, Arthur was in for strealing the Xmas club money and part of his breakdown though, if Bert and Joe, have been in for something else, i have a feeling that they are con men

This better be good after all this build-up. When Joe said to him he had found a good woman (or something) I was thinking maybe they were lovers and he was trying to escape from his homosexuality!

Patsy More likely that 2 men locked up for a long time in a cell might give in to temptation, rather than apparently straight, married Sonia who now suddenly fancies girls.

The TV Times made a remark about Sonia saying they don't believe that. I think there's definitely more to Joe and Bert than just sharing a cell.

It could be that Joe was a murderer or something, and that is why... Just a theory.

Maybe murdered his wife? That old chestnuts, euthanasia.

Whatever it is he's done he doesn't seem very remorseful about it - he's only bothered about being found out and having to confess to Pauline. It might be something to do with his late wife as they made a point of showing him in one scene talking to her headstone. Maybe she died while he was in prison and he's still feeling guilty about that fact.

Could be. I just wish they'd hurry up and let the cat out of the bag.

Dot and Jim are quite funny at the moment re Bert and Ernie's(sic) sordid past.
Dot in a wheelchair with binoculars will get a boring if they drag it out too long but some of Jim's lines were good 'Whisper, whisper...nick the stuff, whisper whisper...bury it at midnight..whisper whisper....' or whatever it was.

This long-awaited coach tour that will blow Joe's cover is apparently to St Paul's Cathedral!! For those of you who don't know London let me enlighten you: The number 15 bus runs from the East End to right outside the front door of St Paul's Cathedral; the number 15 bus even runs into the fictional Albert Square (I've seen it, London Buses have lent the BBC a bus for occasional bus scenes). All London pensioners are issued with a free Oystercard Freedom Pass for travel on public transport. No way would any Londoner pensioner pay for a coach trip to a place that they can go with their free bus pass!! Other churchgoers who might not have a Freedom Pass can go all day on the buses for £3.50.
BBC - do some research!!

This storyline has been going on for ages, and although it has been funny to see Dot in the wheelchair - staring out from her sitting room at Joe and Bert like some Hitchcock film, it doesn't make up for how dreadfully drawn out the whole plot is.

How absurd that Joe and Bet are now staying with the Brannings. Not only is it a bad influence on delicate innocent little Bradley - but now the cat's out of the bag there is no need to tolerate Bert anymore.

And it is even more absurb that Pauline has seemingly forgiven him so quickly. Okay not fully but she is getting there!
