Default Walford - Does anybody leave the square?

Trams? Viaduct? Sure someone has not confused Corrie with "Whatever

vicinity of Ship pub?)

Getting back to Walford, I've not been watching East Enders for long, but
as I've yet to see anyone apart from Charlie (who's a tax driver) going to
work, what use have the residents of Albert Square (Walford, not the
Stockwell one)


I've not been to the Stockwell one. Has it got a Queen Vic like the
Walford one and the E15 one have?

got for public transport? If all of London was like this, there'd be no
transport problems, in fact the services could close up shop. With an
economy apparently dependent on pulling pints and flogging each other
gear, Walford is apparently self-contained, someone must drop them food
parcels by cover of night. Bit like the Prisoner, except nobody tries to
escape - well when they do, their cars hit barriers and burst into flames.


More like The Truman Show.

Weird! It's Science Fiction really!


Alistair McGowan explained that one - sometimes they go Up West and
sometimes they go to Manchester, but NOBODY EVER COMES BACK FROM
MANCHESTER!
