Fellow reporter Ed Follet told me that there was a Rovers Return pub from th
e British television program Coronation Street in SL, so I went off to find it. And there it was in a sim called Le Meteque – Rovers Return Inn. It’s very well done, the green and gold pub sign and the glass windows etched with the name of the pub. Inside there is a jolly looking barman with the famous Newton and Ridley best bitter on the bar in front of him. On the walls are pictures of the actual television characters, the original pub landlady with her husband, Annie and Jack Walker, Ena Sharples and Elsie Tanner. I sat down next to one of the customers, but he didn’t have a lot to say as he read his paper. He did look as if h
e was a visitor to the pub rather than a regular, could that have been a Norwegian newspaper he was reading? Coronation Street with its pub the Rovers Return, is known all around the world so it has many fans from abroad. I was going to ask for one of Betty’s delicious Hotpots until I remembered that I am a vegetarian, so I settled for a nice cold beer and a walk around the beautiful harbour outside.
