enchiladas you're going you're going to go

for the enchiladas

yes

yeah yeah I'll go for the enchiladas and

I think everyone else apart from me

getting the enchiladas they'll be

getting a carvery right so now we've

ordered the food

we are going to suggest some of the ways

that Harry and I would ask for the

waiter if you need anything extra from

the food coming

excuse me mate excuse me mate excuse me

sir excuse me sir yeah would you use sir

what situation would use sir vs mate I

maybe if it was errm quite posh

restaurant with very high standards high

quality maybe

excuse me sir errm sorry mate sorry

could I..? do you mind if I ask you for

some salt?

mmm yeah do you mind is a really

nice way to make little polite requests

do you mind if I have some salt ohh do

you mind if I have some mayonnaise? Do

mind bringing us some tap water?

excuse me ermm where are the bathrooms?

American and a British excuse me where's

the toilet or if you're very posh you'd

say where is the lavatory? where would

one spend a penny?

where would one take a shit?

sorry to say this but we've actually

been waiting a rather long time for our

food is it coming? is our food on its way?

or is our food on the way?

yeah excuse me could we warm it up a

bit?

it's not hot enough because in some countries like

in Spain you often get

your food and it's not hot and it's not

problem for them but in England if your food

isn't hot it is a problem

yeah british people like their food

piping hot piping hot yeah exactly piping being

very right? yeah I I think I ordered some

chips with this dish

yeah so if they if they miss something

if they forget something you can remind them

0:08:19.870,0:08:28.340 I I seem to be missing the side veg

that I ordered

can I bring you any desserts ohh dunno (don't know)

I'm awfully stuffed but I do know

that the the ladies that I'm with

support a sweet tooth

was everything to your liking sir yes it

was exquisite minus the forgetting of

the veg the corn on the cob the chips

and it wasn't very warm

yes it was it was a good meal and can i

can i get the bill please? or you can just

do this can't you?

yeah and you've always got to have your

mouth open

yeah you've gotta look like a fish. Cash or card?

i will pay by cash. Do you

take card?
