I'd have been about 10 during the Richard Hillman story and remember loving it.

Was this kind of the start of the serial killers/baddies.

I know Alan Bradley was in it however since Richard there always seems to be bad baddie in it.

People always say now that Coronation Street has gone to dark. However was there a similar feeling towards Richard?

He was constantly trying to kill Emily Bishop, scare Norris, scam Audrey, etc and killed a young mother.

On a side note I rewatched a lot of it online and Audrey was basically portrayed as an old woman at 58.

I'm 33 now and when I was approx 12 I saw a movie on TV.

It was about a girl/teenager being murdered.

I think it took some time for them to find her body.

I think the body was found in a swamp.

Her mother sort of turned decetive.

Somebody said on the morning they saw a man in purple jogging bottoms.

She noticed a neighbour wearing them.

The thing I'm certain about is the mother wanted to get the man's finger prints. So, she asked him to hold a drink can for a few months and she brought it to the police.

I don't think it a documentary or a dream.

Anybody know what it's called?

My earliest memory is something to do with Steve Mcdonald selling/installing a faulty gas fire for Rita. This is vague.

However when I took note was the Fresco's seige. I thought it was great all of them eating with the robbers.

I'll be 34 this year.

What's your earliest memory?

I'm sharing this to see if it helps anybody.

I first did a handful of lessons in 2014 when I was 21.

At the time money was tight, I didn't have access to a car, help was kind of offered but it was messy. I didn't click with my instrudtor.

I was about two lessons in. On a busy main road and he was texting and organising lessons. He was also very barky with me and didn't really explain things. However he is highly sought after. It may have been me.

I honestly thought I'd never drive.

Then in 2020, decided to get driving again.

However due to Covid my car was basically parked up for months.

I basically got on the road in the Summer of 2021. Practiced a good but of gears in a field. Started my lessons with a new instructor. He was very calm, funny and explained the bitting point to me very well. I often said I was going automatic. I was good with mirros, rules, indicators.

I did my first test in July 2022. Got 10 grade twos. I stalled the car at the start of the test and another driving instructor basically followed me around to show his student a test and I found it off putting. I also spent ages coming out of junctions.

I reapplied walking to the car from the test center. I did my next test in October. I took my left turns a bit wide because I got a bit nervous of hitting the kerb and passed a few weeks shy of my 30th Birthday.

If you think you'll never drive never give up.

If anybody has any questions feel free to ask.
