One just said that a Subway Footlong couldn't be an accurate measurement, because people had different foot sizes!

I despair.

Haha! A true Gogglebox remark.?

TrendyNannie6 Fri 16-Oct-20 21:32:17

I must admit I did laugh

phoenix Fri 16-Oct-20 21:33:55

Me too, but while shaking my head!

I've never quite got my head around a tv programme about people watching tv programmes!

Hetty58 Fri 16-Oct-20 22:05:08

I just love it, very entertaining!

Curlywhirly Fri 16-Oct-20 22:06:05

I know, it cracked me up too! Love that programme, never fails to make me giggle.

I was hoping to watch Gogglebox on +1 after Gardener's World but DH is insisting on singing along to Cliff Richard on BBC4.

Shoot me now!

phoenix Fri 16-Oct-20 22:15:02

No, merlot shoot your husband for crimes against taste!

Oh bugger, that might be enough to get me suspended again! sad

merlotgran Fri 16-Oct-20 22:16:50

The daft thing is, phoenix. I know all the words and he doesn't. grin

phoenix, we live in a metric world. What they would make of a horse’s height measurement I dread to think.

phoenix Fri 16-Oct-20 22:40:56

grumppa, metric or imperial, it was still a rather stupid remark!

Chewbacca Fri 16-Oct-20 22:52:35

Hmmmm.... Cliff Richards or Goggle box....... choices, choices....! Goggle Box!

I quite like gogglebox but can’t bear the brother and sister duo.

Lucca Fri 16-Oct-20 22:56:13

Don’t know why this reminded me ...unbelievable things people say I suppose....a student once said to me “ Miss, where is the leaning tower of Pisa ?”

MissAdventure Fri 16-Oct-20 22:57:43

I do think the dad in the black family is a very, very handsome man.

Chewbacca Fri 16-Oct-20 22:59:23

What did you tell him Lucca?

May7 Fri 16-Oct-20 23:00:31

How funny lucca they are our favourites. Cant bear the 2 sisters.
Good job we all like different types of people

MissAdventure Fri 16-Oct-20 23:02:26

I like Lee and I can't remember her name.

NfkDumpling Fri 16-Oct-20 23:03:14

Lucca

I quite like gogglebox but can’t bear the brother and sister duo.

Ditto Lucca.

merlotgran Fri 16-Oct-20 23:04:02

I like Gogglebox but DH has been having a bit of a down day so if it cheers him up!!

I think I've heard the story of him cycling with his cousin to Sheffield's City Hall to see Cliff and then getting a puncture on the way back a hundred times but I'm getting it again....hmm

Kate1949 Fri 16-Oct-20 23:05:09

I love Gogglebox. It wouldn't be entertaining if some of the participants weren't completely daft.

Kate1949 Fri 16-Oct-20 23:06:56

I also rather like Cliff blush

Lucca Fri 16-Oct-20 23:07:24

I love how the family with the big dog always have a plateful of cakes/biscuits artfully arranged. I like the gay man and his friend in the mobile home.

phoenix Fri 16-Oct-20 23:07:41

Yes, MissAdventure I would agree, but why is his hair a sort of lavender colour?confused

And that other family, the one that always has cakes on the table, does the father look like Winston Churchill with severe indigestion, or a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle?
