Re: Gas Advert on UK TV
Afraid the only thing that made me laugh about that is calling gas repair/maintenance technicians 'engineers'....

Re: Gas Advert on UK TV
Hi
yeah always made me laugh the 'loose' way the term engineer was used in the UK..
I really messes up your resume if you use it here,I re-phrased them all to technician, (even the real engineer ).
About the only thing here I miss Uk TV..
even when it was really bad, I really never new how good it was.
nearest thing I find here is 'the red green show'

It's taken from a great film called "Blazing Saddles".
