I LOVE Giles and Mary, but why does Craig Cash always refer to them as 'Giles...and his wife Mary?' Even if it's Mary that's making a point, she always comes second. AIBU to think it should, sometimes be 'Mary...and her husband Giles?' Grin

I find Pete’s nuts resting on the sofa in his jogging bottoms really distracting.

You’ll never be able to unsee them once you notice. You’re welcome.

He on Earth are the Siddiqui's racist?😮

PrincessoftheSea · 29/04/2018 20:39

I really don’t like th family with the dogs on the sofa and shoes on the table. Makes me want to go over and give it and them a good clean.

slippermaiden · 29/04/2018 20:43

I love them!

WindyWednesday · 29/04/2018 20:51

I’ve seen the jogger bottoms issue.

Louis and Jesus sound similar so I can see my confusion.

Piggywaspushed · 29/04/2018 20:54

No you were right windy , there is another, older son and I think eh may well be called Jesus.

Piggywaspushed · 29/04/2018 20:56

Just checked : he is, in fact, called Pascal Grin

slippermaiden · 29/04/2018 20:57

No one has mentioned the 3 Caribbean ladies! They make me chuckle every week!

Piggywaspushed · 29/04/2018 20:57

I mentioned them! I don't like them . Prefer Mary and Marina.

BuntyII · 29/04/2018 21:01

@Joanna57 please tell us why you called the Siddiquis racist Confused

derxa · 29/04/2018 21:02

I don't like the Siddiquis- they make me feel a bit uneasy.

NerrSnerr · 29/04/2018 21:02

@Joanna57 you need to elaborate on why the Siddiquis are racist??!?

AHintOfStyle · 29/04/2018 21:09

Really love Jenny & Lee and the Siddiqui family.

Passmethecrisps · 29/04/2018 21:15

joanna thinks the word racism is overused so means nothing apparently. Weird to accuse three fellas of it with nothing to back it up

fleshmarketclose · 29/04/2018 21:19

I love Giles and Mary, I laughed out loud at the toaster and dressing gown palaver. She has more patience than I have for definite,he'd drive me mad.
I love the Siddiquis, Jenny and Lee and the Welsh couple. I like Ralf, the two elderly ladies, Amira and Iqra and the brothers T. The Malones Dad makes me laugh without saying a word. Not keen on Ellie and Izzy, Pete and Sophie, Stephen and his mum (but love the poodles). Can't stand the UKIP family (that revamped living room Shock) and the Tappers Mum gets on my nerves as well but I don't mind the Dad and brother.

FrozenMargarita17 · 29/04/2018 21:29

I loooooove them

UterusUterusGhali · 29/04/2018 21:33

Ah, Pass that makes sense. People who say the word racism is overused are just sick of being called it. Usually because they're racist.

They probably think three Asian British guys together without a white person is "white racism" or something. 😂

SwedishEdith · 29/04/2018 21:35

Giles and Mary are the funniest on it. I do find the Blackpool lad funny sometimes as well. The Malones dad has run his course now - just plays up to a cliched image of himself now. Boring.

Haudyerwheesht · 29/04/2018 21:36

I never used to like Giles and Mary but I think he is very dry witted. Also a bit of a day dreamer but then so are some of my nearest and dearest

Love the Siddiquis I think they’re just genuinely nice people.

Jenny and Lee make me laugh - mostly Jenny tbf.

Can’t stand the Michaels and their nauseating pretentious attitudes.

Quite like the dad of the Rottweiler family.

Can not STAND the Blackpool siblings - they never say anything nice and also they look so alike it’s a bit scary.

FrozenMargarita17 · 29/04/2018 21:42

I do wonder about the Tapper girl, she's always sitting sucking her thumb. It makes me cringe a bit.

BlancheM · 29/04/2018 21:44

In what way are the Siddiquis racist?!

Passmethecrisps · 29/04/2018 21:48

Oh yes! Just remembered who the Tappers are. Yes, that wee girl does seem awfully young, doesn’t she. They seem a sweet family though

Lacucuracha · 29/04/2018 23:04

@joanna57

Can't bear those Sadi brothers and their daddy. They turn my stomach with their racism

They're not racist at all and your pathetic attempt to spell their name says everything about you.

EdWinchester · 29/04/2018 23:10

In what way are the Siddiquis racist? I really want to know this too.

JessieMcJessie · 29/04/2018 23:11

I read that the Tapper boy did really well for himself, lost a load of weight and is now on a grad scheme or internship or something which is why he’s not in the show any more.
