Ok, agree to a certain extent, very difficult to lose your roots, .. but will say, as you appear to have me cornered, that it is a very small percentage of the actors in Corrie that are from Yorkshire. The Southerners wouldn't spot the difference anyway. (Good tactic that Kate .. blaming them Southerners ... )

Still can't understand Rab though West Ender, or his sense of humour. Good to hear that he has come out of a bad time though.
