I do remember 'Connie' but nothing much about it strangely.

	Hi Rose Wasn't that the programme with Ozymandias? - if so, I remember it well. the beginning of the Indie in the girl. That and Catweazle! Ref Connie, she (Stephanie Beacham) was the guv of a clothing factory in the midlands, and the series tracked her business and her love life. "It's a love job" is what sticks in my mind sue x

	I would dearly love them to start Coronation Street right from the beginning....But I understand that some of the episodes are not for re-release due to legal reasons....what a shame....I remember some of them and also my Mother enjoying what seemed like 'real' life......Tis not the same now though.... No I am not old!....I just have a very good memory as long as it wasn't yesterday :-)))))
