Ebay Gum

On one of my occasional trawls through the online car-boot sale that's better known as ebay, I’ve found a bizarre little Coronation Street goodie.  It’s Coronation Street money issued by the Bank of Weatherfield. Whether it’s legal tender in the Rovers, the Kabin or Dev’s corner shop is anyone’s guess but odd and quirky it certainly is. There’s a fiver with the fabulous Elsie Tanner on the front and a tenner displaying the formidable Ena Sharples. If Tanner had been on the tenner, I would have bid for it myself.  With current bids standing at US dollars $3.99 with free shipping from overseas it might just be the thing you’re looking for to fill the stocking of the Corrie fan at your house. Or maybe not. But

it’s definitely worth a look and I couldn’t resist sharing it wit h you here. Is the Bank of Weatherfield that one in the precinct next to the pound shop that’s run by the woman who looks like Jimmy Saville?   I challenge you to find something dafter on ebay, Corrie related of course.
