Things you never see on soaps.

They never change their bedding.

They rarely arrange meeting times - I'll meet you at so and so later. In the pub they ask for 'a pint please'. A pint and of what?

They never seem to run out of space - their houses seem to accommodate everyone who needs to be there. I often wondered how many bedrooms the Queen Vic has.

They never seem to decorate their houses, though many have wallpaper, curtains etc which are now in the shops. You never see where those who have cars, actually park them

You never see anyone pacing around, saying "Can you hurry up, please?" at a toilet hogger.

They don't spend most of their time on social media, posting pictures of their dinner.

All appear to have plenty of money whether they are employed even in a menial job, being able to go out for breakfast so frequently.

You never see the frustration of waiting for a court case, everything gets sorted out within weeks instead of years!

They never say what time they're meeting up with someone.

Great minds and all that boheminan!

They never catch their sleeve on a door handle.

Very few of them seem to use the bathroom either - I mean I don’t want to see that obviously, but it is a fact of life

...They never go to the toilet
