That really was disgraceful and embarrassing! Most people would know about the dangers of over fishing/ cod stock depletion and for them to be flapping about umming and erring was enlightening about the depth of their knowledge.Herbsman. said:I normally don't like this sort of thing but it's about food. So I watched it last night....
Those twins were pathetic if you ask me. Marketing their brand as 'ethical' / sustainable.... but when they were asked about the sustainability of the cod...
Twin 1: Erm... I don't know (looks at twin 2) do you?
Twin 2: No
Later on, Raymond told them about how cod has seriously overfished for the last 10 years and that the stocks were seriously depleted. He asked another question about where the cod came from. One of them replied something to the effect of
"well... I asked the fishmonger in Selfridges and he said he doesn't know anything about it and that it would be perfectly fine!"
Jesus...
And the Selfridges remark?!! It was an eyebrow raising few mins.
Right twat and his crying wife is so annoying.Herbsman. said:
The big three will be interesting. Scottish couple (my new favourites), resourceful twins who are very good and the lovely Ghanian couple.
I think that Raymond will be too nice to choose and his inspectors will have to make the decisions for him.

Lets me see a Scottish theme, what shall we do? A burns night! No one has ever thought of that before! Jesus how unoriginal can you get.
I quite liked Flower of Scotland done Elvis stylee but her singing was cringe worthy to the extreme.
I'd have gotten a guy in with a kilt database and told them their kilts and given em a wee sample. Those without a scotish connection could have the generic kilt pattern the staff wear.
Unfortunately a prediction has come true for the ghanaian couple. One of the experts said a way back that they'd be short term success whilst they were a novelty and people would try them as a one off. However when the novelty has worn off and there is nothing that makes people want to repeat visit time and time again.
Why does crying woman survive week after week? Have a nervous breakdown and leave already will ya? (okay not really, i wouldn't wish that on anyone but go please!)
I'd have to say the twins to win even though they are nothing special.
