Mother: Rat cake, rat sorbet, rat pudding, or strawberry tart.
Klaus: (eyes lighting up) Strawberry tart?
Mother: Well, it's got *some* rat in it.
Klaus: 'Ow much?
Mother: Three. A lot, really.
Klaus: Well, I'll have a slice without so much rat in it.

Not a chance, this thing from top to bottom is terrible. To top things off they've just completed a cheap 1990's green wannabe french style roof. They've gone out of their way to stand out and they've used a mish mash of styles and materials to do it. It may have nice floor plans and terraces but not much else. It could have been done well, it has nice proportions, that's about the only thing I like about it. Saying it has character means nothing, character can be bad as BSN has shown us.

I'm ashamed to admit that many of the skits are still locked in my brain from 35 years ago! My Chinese sign is "monkey", and I am wicked at mimicking voices.
