enchiladas you're going you're going to go

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
