Corrie Bottoms

There haven't been too many references to spanking on Coronation Street of late, but the episode I watched last night had a brilliant one that I just have to share. First thought, here's one that aired several months ago.

Sally is unlocking the knicker factory door because the owner is taking a few days off.

"I'll be cracking the whip around here," she boasted. The eyebrows of several workers went up quickly.

"I didn't know you were a dominatrix, Sal," Joanne remarked

"there's a lot you don't know about me," was the quick reply.

Gloria, a pain in the butt new character on the Street, is the former owner of a bar in Spain and is related to several other characters, including the girlfriend of the owner of the Bistro. Since she's "family" she goes to Gail's house and asks for the keys to the Bistro. The double entendre in this scene is priceless.

Gloria: I thought I might come and do a bit of bottoming. [For non-British readers, that means a good cleaning.]
Gail: I'm the cleaner, Gloria. I bottom.
Gloria: I know, but you didn't see the cleanliness standard of my bar. Wait till you see a sponged bottom.

Kevin interrupts them as they stand on the doorstep. He's collecting money for a couple with a new baby.

Kevin: We're having a whip-round for Tyrone and Kirsty. 
Gloria: Whip-rounds. They always make me think of funerals and prison.
Kevin: This is for the baby.
Gloria: I can't help it. When you've been a gangster's moll you get used to your menfolk disappearing.

She snatches the keys from Gail's hand and heads off towards the Bistro.

Kevin: She was a gangster's moll?
Gail: With a sponge bottom, apparently.

Gail is not amused.
