Just like to mark Prince Philips last day of official duties and say you've done a grand job Sir and enjoy your retirement. Think he's deserved it at 96, our lovely Queen will miss him at her side...Sorry I've got all your backs up non royalists you'll get over it, ha..

Here, here, Cools.

Prince Philip has been a marvellous Consort for our Queen and supported so much more besides. I wish him a Very Happy Retirement .

About time the old biddy threw the towel in too

You want Chaz????

Even he is past his sell by date now

Sorry DD, did you mean Chaz Dingle ?

I think most of the Emmerdale cast would get my vote over Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor.

Mentioning Dingles, I only found out the other day that Cain Dingle and Rhona are married in real life. There is something going to happen between those two soon in Emmerdale.

Yes DD and isn't Debbie dingle married to David from the shop ?

Listen to you too ha,,and they say women are worse for the soaps!!

Only Emerdale and Corrie Cools, don't do that Eastenders s#it

I only watch them as well Dilly, not watched EastEnders for years liked in early days with DirtyDen and Angie. Also Billy the vicar and Daniel Ken Barlow's brainy grandson are an item in real life.

Cools, Corrie is real life !

Yes, but the last I heard was that they are both leaving. A lot of culls going on at the moment.

Eastenders is painfully boring, only watch that because its placed between the other soaps. Corrie isn't usually up to much at the moment and Emmerdale gets surreal.

It annoys me that they copy each other's plots almost non-stop, some characters are almost carbon copies across soaps.

If Eastenders had a stronger moral plot I would understand why the BBC are allowed to get involved in soaps, its supposed to be a public service broadcast the trashy stuff should be left to the commercial channels.

This thread has turned into A Corrie, Emerdale topic.Just shows how much people are interested in the old fart retiring

Its the mention of Prince Charles that turned it into a soap opera.
