Natural yet stunning for 90...she should be Dame Barbara...60 yrs in that same role. That's a legend.❤

Excellent, my daughter got to meet Mavis on her 93 birthday in McDonald's Plymouth. My daughter although diagnosed with Momgolism can communicate using 'communication buttons ' and kindly Mavis spent twenty minutes communicating with my daughter . A lovely woman. ❤

My mum went to school with Barbara Knox. She said that she went to school in her mum's high heels. People were so extremely poor then, but Barbara's family was a bit better than most. My mum said Barbara acted posh at school.

I recall watching Coronation Street as a very young boy in the late-1970s and always enjoyed the banter between Rita & Mavis in the kabin 😆 Lovely to see they’re still great-mates in real-life, evokes memories of care-free days when we could laugh more freely 😉

I remember the Alan Bradley and Rita beating story, it was all over the news and it was so popular with everyone. At that time public enemy number one was Alan Bradley and the whole scenario became fixed in people's minds against anyone named Alan Bradley. However, a funny thing happened to someone I used to know who was arrested at a football match by the police because he told them his name was Alan Bradley. They thought he was taking the micky so they locked him up and he missed the match. Later, after the match his mates went to the police station to convince the police that he really was named Alan Bradley before they'd let him go. I couldn't stop laughing about it and Alan ended up non the worse and even laughed about it too.
