A certain number of urban legends have also attended the rise of the Chinese catering trade in Britain. For instance, many Chinese takeaways close on Tuesdays. This is supposed to come from the time when Coronation Street was transmitted only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Housewives would down tools in the kitchen to watch on these days, leading to a surge in trade. Tuesday, being comparatively quiet, was taken as a day off. Or so the story goes.
