Without doubt, these two characters are my favourites from Little Britain. Timing, facial expressions and Matt mimicking word for word, Margaret is just hilarious. 😅
I work in grocery retail..... We sold out of Easter eggs last Thursday, there is a VERY LARGE sign on the door, NO EASTER EGGS...... Another sign inside the door, NO EASTER EGGS. How many times do you think we were asked? why haven't you got them? We had them for months.......!!!
@@drewb1263 Oh, they do exist. My first job was in a shop that sold a huge range of greetings cards, all sorts of designs for all sorts of occasions. "Haven't you got any that say 'Happy birthday, Step Granddad' and have a picture of a castle by the sea on them?", "Haven't you got any Sympathy cards with puppies on them?", "Haven't you got a card like this one but bigger?" It was always "Haven't you got", not "Have you got" as if we were being negligent in not having that exact card.
I worked in a model/ hobby/ games store. Some of the older customers were... shall I say, perculiar. This is indeed a documentary for incredibly over-specific, impossible time-wasting customers, with zero social skills and a talent for making everyone feel uncomfortable. The number of times I would spend 30+ minutes attending to someone's specific request for help with a project, find them a dozen products to help, show them tutorials on the exact thing they were trying to do, lend personal advice, and they'd look at the exact thing they needed and say "oh it's a few pence more expensive than I was looking to spend today" or "I think I'll get it next week" or the most infuriating one of ignoring all that advice and getting something completely wrong for what they wanted to do anyway...
used to work in a big electronics and white goods chain. There was a guy one time that came looking for tires, used tires in fact. We were so amused by it that we just messed with him a bit: i asked for a colleague in the "tires and used tires" section of the store(which we didn't have), then left him there to wait while i explained the situation to a friend of mine. He came and asked him for minutes about different things regarding tires, even fake stuff. In the end we sent him to another store we didn't like very much, after pretending to check if they carried the specific set of tires. I would feel bad but we were fed up with people asking moronic questions. The store wasn't even large, you could clearly see we didn't have tires on display..
This is absolutely spot on as a typical British village shop, because every British person has been to one of these small shops where the bell rings as you open the door, & after a minute an old man appears, looking grumpy because you've disturbed him from watching daytime TV, & watches your every move. You feel like you HAVE to buy something. Oh, & they all seem to have a woman named Margaret upstairs who knows what they have in stock.
@@bananabrooks3836 Why would anyone except the poorest of the poor buy something from Amazon, when you have to _wait_ for your stuff? Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. And obviously it's horrible for both people and the Earth.
'MARGRET.... MARGRET.....' is my favourite line from all of the Little Britain sketches. Matt Lucas's delivery and subsequent look while he's waiting for her to reply is just spot on. These sketches always remind me of a 2000s version The Two Ronnies four candles sketch. Would have loved to have these two do a Comic Relief version of that.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 Ooh I'll see if we have any of them in stock MARGARET!....... MARGARET ............................................... .. ................................................
"I'll just wait...........until it's made." I have a feeling, he's going to be waiting very long time. As much as 100 million years. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@jeremysmith54565 The great thing was that she could have said anything about her appearance because she was always unseen. Could've yelled, "I can't, I'm just a head!" :D
I'd watch that film starring Rick Moranis and Chevy Chase as a pair of cops who have to go undercover as rappers in order to foil a drug deal, certificate 15. It sounds entertaining.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Like something Samuel Beckett might pen. I love the sets, fantastic display of models vehicles. Also, beautiful wooden counter in the last sketch. Well done on the attention to detail.
I swear, 60% of good comedy is so often the writers and performers tapping into the audience's aniticpation and expectation. We know what's coming because it's a reucrring thing but we love it every time. Margaret will always say "Yes?" when called--- eventually. Same goes for "Keeping Up Appearances" whenever Elizabeth arrives for coffee at Hyacinth's. She will spill something, and it's just a matter of time.
Folks, there really used to be a guy like this in my city! He always went to the local Holland&Barretts store to ask the poor customer service agents all sorts of stupid questions. He pestered them for hours - he never bought anything, he was just wasting time. Well, he really stood out because he never wore pants! Yup, he was always dressed in a suit jacket and... underpants!!! No matter what the weather! No idea what became of him, I haven't seen him for some years now - maybe he finally got the help he needed...
@@janslehmann05 He looked ever so weird, as if he had just forgotten to put pants on - shirt, suit jacket, socks, underpants, shoes... but no pants. He was a very tall guy and one of the at the time very few black people in town, so he stood out all the more! The whole town knew about him! Wonder what became of him but I just hope he got the help he clearly needed.
I work in home delivery and I’ve had 2 like this. One wanted an item upstairs but insisted we couldn’t come into his house and the other ordered a giant tv that turned out to be too big for his flat but refused to accept he needed a smaller one.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge Margaret's hard work? She knows all the pirate memory games, all the people looking for dates, all the films and all the birthday cards. Margaret is the best asset all these shops have, especially when difficult shoppers come!
"Did I mention she should have a glass eye?" "Margaret, Margaret (HELP!!!!)"🤣🤣🤣 They are so very versatile and gifted these two, and the British provide such an assortment of eccentric and mad characters!
As a nerd who goes to model shops im so glad im not that guy👍 These two are grand, and davids books my kids loved when they were smaller, so funny this stuff, takes you back to better days
This is a celebration/commemoration of the hopeless, excruciating futility of life. The hopeless excruciating futility that gives life its fragrant essence.
