I think your mother was very wise, just think of the scandal she would have caused amongst the neighbours if she had a chip pan fire and especially if she used lard instead of cooking oil. My grandma was a speed peeler, she could peel and chip a potato in 30 second and smoke a fag at the same time, I was never allowed to brag about my Grandma's achievement because it was considered to be the epitome of commonness.
I understood as much as nothing, still after some watching I do not know why they are yelling at each other. Maybe it's just a usual Saturday afternoon conversation ? Also wonderful is that Public Service announcement - I never believed that humans actually do cook this way. BTW in the video's last seconds, is she barfing into the sink ? Possible throughout with all that oily air.
Just as well you understood none of the dialogue, it's not for polite ears. Have you ever fried onions and chilli together it creates a gas, breathe that in and you really have something to barf about. The bleeding old drama queen.
I am sorry Mitzi, but I never have fried anything. All this is absolutely unknown to me. I only came near this, when I was with some people from Hamburg,. They prepared raw potatoes their way, within oil, I forgot how they called it ("Kanten" or something, "Spalten" ?). I found it the least satisfying way to prepare potatoes, sorry. It took ages, wasted a ton of good oil, and was smelly. Forgive a soft Southerner please. I could have made a pan of good "Bratkartoffeln" in a fraction of the time.
They often serve Bratkartoffeln at the hotel I stay, in Benidorm, nothing gladdens the heart more, the only potatoes I do not like are undercooked ones.
I think I've only seen a bit of Rita Sue and Bob too as I don't remember that slanging match. Is Pauline Collins in it?
Just like Ms Scarlet's mum, I too was terrified of chip pan fires. Thankfully we didn't live 'oop North so chip pans were a rarity (although my friend Neil's mum had one, but she never cooked us chips when I went round his house).
It'll be too vulgar for Pauline Collins to be in it, maybe you're thinking of Shirley Valentine. Whilst flicking through the channels this morning I came across an old episode of Tales of the Unexpected starring Pauline Collins and Joan Collins it didn't end well for poor old Joan.
Wasn't the 1992 fire at Windsor castle caused by a chip pan fire?
"Fire, If you don't let it start, you won't have to stop it." LOL One could replace fire with just about anything, "Fascism, if you don't let it start, you won't have to stop it." I'm really happy with how Canada voted. As for the street brawl, reminds me of the poor neighborhood I grew up in, but with British accents.
I remember both clips! Thank goodness for oven chips - my mum was so scared of having a frying incident that she was reluctant to cook chips.
