you can still quote word for word scenes from Fawlty Towers. 30 yrs on. A little sad but impressive

I'm off to insert a large garden gnome in Mr O'reilly!

Seems like a reasonable way to emphasise it was the BMW MINI (tsk, not Mini Dave!). I mean. BMW are the ones who insist its MINI not Mini, so how are you meant to convey the capitalisation in speech? Shout? A deft click of the heels and/or a quick salute seems as good a way as any.

Wouldn't want people to get confused with that old Britsh tat now would you.

I knew a woman once. I took her to see India.

India?

At the Oval!

[YarisSi]

Ahhh the only way to upset germans more is to call them fat and talk about the Euro.

[nonegreen]

I think it was Krups made the ovens, perhaps all the PC lot could be got rid of in the tried and tested way?

[vario-rob]

As chez Vario Rob is a 50% Canadian household I regularly taunt my wife with the Moose sketch



Where do you think it comes from Major, Canada?

No Fawlty they’re not clever enough, it’s Japanese

Makes me laugh every time

I thought the comments were funny, esp MINI Satnav which can only take you to Poland. I suspect that 99.999% of Germans also found it a: amusing b: rose above it and took the comments as a joke rather than a deliberate slur on them or their culture.

Tis only some PC tw@t who probably hates JC for his non-socialist fossil fuel burning lifestyle anyway.

Bring it on, every time some idiot makes a complaint like this they look all the more foolish. Don't particularly like JC but I love the way he refuses to toe the PC line

Don't be so quick to think JC isn't PC...he bought a herd of sheep (or was it cows?) to keep his paddock trimmed instead of a V8 lawnmower.
