Did anyone watch this tonight? Had me laughing several times specially when the jag got damaged by one of his own trucks.
I loved his attempt to say easy DIY assembly in french it translated back to english as something like " 1..2..3...Erection" No wonder the girl was laughing.

I saw the original series, I think it was, last year. They're so cringeworthy. In the previous series they really had an attitude problem with their employees. What made me laugh even more was the fella didn't speak French, so he put a French accent on English words!

Yeah, that really makes me laugh when people say english phrases with a silly accent thinking that they are going to be understood.
His wife was a bit better but, what she said didn't actually make sense according to the subtitles.

Aye, especially when they had presumed that conservatoire was French for conservatory, or rather, it meant music academies

I was thinking what must have been going thru the french guys mind with them two talking rubbish to him in broken french. He must have thought they were a couple of nutters.

I love the way the wife only reads self help books and just spouts passages from it at the most unapropiate times........''I'm going to put my foot down with a firm hand!'' was the best last week
Basil Meaney must be a made up name
