Rochdale Online had a piece the other day about a lady called Edie Shufflebotham who was celebrating her 102nd birthday. Edie has watched Coronation Street since the first episode, and is such a big fan that she celebrated her 100th birthday with a tour of the Corrie set. Surely at 102, Mrs Shufflebotham must be Corrie's oldest fan?
Not according to the New Zealand Manawatu Standard, who feature the 103rd birthday celebrations of one Mrs Myra Letts, who has been an avid Coronation viewer since it was first aired in 1960. "I really lived for Coro, everybody watched it," she says. She'll be celebrating with family and friends, but doesn't want any presents, because, "I've got everything."
