Enfield is legitimately a national treasure, no one else has been as consistently funny, topical and relevant as he has in British comedy for so long, it's testament to him that these sketches probably aged so well they're more relevant today than ever before.
I wouldn't say consistently. That series he did in the early 2000s with Amanda Holden where he played an ex rock star was dire. Glad he got back on form though.
My mum owns and runs a performing arts school in a very affluent part of the country. The fees (set by the franchiser) are downright extortionate, so only people with more money than sense would ever think to send their children there. Now, I won't give any specific examples but... let's just say that the names in these sketches aren't as exaggerated as you might think!
"We moved into the area because it was, like, sooooo unspoiled? Literally, y'know, nothing has been touched since like 2010. I've even heard there are houses with no en-suites. I mean, can you imagine? And there was this quaint little shop that sold 'filled baps' whatever they are, with "cheese and onion". Not even 'gruyère and fermented garlic bulb'. Anyway, it's gone now and it's a shop that sells bath bombs and scented bidet cushions."
And One customer who has to google "most expensive" before she visits or buys anything . dumb cunts that think price is a guarantee for quality . daft bitch !
The biggest pisstake from them is that they generally get more business that the ones who actually do put in a lot of effort! I think the best example of that around where I live now (i was pulled kicking and screaming out of london at the end of my degree) is there is a independent coffee shop in Southend literally next door to a Costa. And despite them roasting their own coffee beans and making pretty much everything they sell in shop as well as the fact their coffee is literally the nicest coffee i've ever had and i've never had a bad cup of the stuff in there, AND it being around 1-2 quid cheaper than the Costa next door, they still don't get as much business. It's madness.
Be fair, they have to charge a lot for coffee in order to maintain their charitable services towards billionaires, deposed dictators and fugitive war criminals.
Jeez why have I lived I Crouch End in North London for 20 years? It's full of this unbearable sh*t. I detest the people who live there and the shops. Never made one friend in the 'community'. Sad this has infiltrated decent working class areas now where a loaf of bread costs £2.75.
Crouch End was a nice place. I used to walk through there in the early 70s with my mum on the way home from St Gilda's School at the top of the hill. She would go into Budgens then Dunnes bakery next door. Then Woolworths.
I ran a little coffee shop and we only stocked full cream milk. I used to love convincing the ladies (and it was always ladies) that they did not need non fat milk. I only ever had one who refused.
I think so many women order a Skinny Latte cos they think it will make them lose weight and its got the word skinny in it, so no guilt! So little difference really.
@@pushthetempo2 Usually it's either the ones who look like they desperately need some fat in their diets or the ones for whom ordering a skinny latte is like trying bail out the Titanic with an egg cup.
Well done - as you know the difference in fat between full fat and the rest is minimal, but tastes much better, as your customers no doubt found. I worked in advertising partly because I was fascinated just how easy it was to influence people......especially the ones who thought themselves 'savvy'!
We can mock all we like but it's not too different to pubs charging £12 for a frozen ready meal chucked in the microwave then served up on a square plate.
Theirs a lot of i saw you coming styled shops about. Chateau chunder a very nice Australia table wine found in the likes of the Baywater area of London.
just like any I Saw You Coming on a Sunday farmer's markets selling overpriced organic loaves, cheeses, fruit and vegetables...for those with more money than sense.
@MathematicalPhysics yep … is a scam 90% of free range eggs are only allowed to be called free range due to stupid legislation. The chickens never see the light of day
When I watch these I’m reminded of the current fad of ‘tiny homes’. Fancy millennial hipster name for basically a caravan - even if they are nice inside - if it moves it’s a caravan. Heartbreaking I’m sure to tell their friends they live in a mobile home - so we better come up with some marketing hyperbole so they don’t feel left out.
There's an artisan bakery near me, I bought a loaf for £3.80 and when I sliced it to make a sandwich it was nearly all air not bread, I guess that what artisan means?
I have Absolutely no idea how this show got in my feed, (I’ve never heard of it until a few days ago) , but it’s a pretty cool show and the girl character is so adorkable. ;)
There is a shop in Oxford called Wild Honey and they sell loaves of bread for £5.00 I know it’s 10 Years on from this but it’s just bread, yet it’s displayed in a hay filled rustic box and comes in a brown paper bag.
As a chef I can tell you there is actually a difference between a chocolate tart and a chocolat tarte. If the chocolat tarte is made with in house by a pastry chef with handmade pastry like in a French Bakery, it does justify the prices, cos it does take skill and time and definitely tastes better. However small cafes like this can often buy in their cakes and then its not worth the high price. You can tell by looking at cakes if they look handmade and fresh or bought in and taken out a box by a batista. Having said that, this made me laugh so much!!! 😆😆
It’s the difference between one made with a few ingredients by a baker, by hand in a kitchen at the back of the cafe ,and one with added preservatives so it lasts longer, mass produced by a machine in a factory and put in a big box and shipped to the cafe in a lorry driven by a polish dude called Pawel. Ain’t rocket science.
Now…after watching most of these little scenes, I used to think Marcus was appreciative of gorgeous but gullible women, and just merrily fleecing them…now I’m wondering from his expressions if he was actually intending to be misogynistic. Or did the character develop from one to t’other over time?
But you will have to go elsewhere for your: Homeopathy, Flotation Therapy, Exfoliation, Colonic Irrigation, Acupuncture, Tooth veneering, Liposuction, Buttock augmentation or Botox injections.
In case anyone is confused, at the time this was recorded £4.50 was an outrageously high price for a coffee.
And it still bloody is!!
£10.00 for a coffee here, the shopkeeper picks the finest beans from the packet though
That's inflation right there.
Ethically sourced organic artisan coffee beans
