    I'm not ashamed to admit I watch Corrie and t'Dale but am becoming concerned about the increasing prominence of 0.0 fonts in bar scenes at both the Rovers and the Woolpack, with even regulars asking for 'a pint of zero please'.
    WTF sort of world are they trying to portray or, more likely, how intrusive is nanny state intervention or influence becoming..?

    edit: messrs Newton, Ridley and Monk would be spinning in their graves!
