The only food I can associate with near where I live is 'Black pudding'... now that is the right kind of food to insult someone with!

SHUT UP YOU... BLACK PUDDING! Man would that get the ratings in.
Ofcom would be on meltdown !!

She's from Bristol. The West Country. Not exactly Home Counties... It's not quite so insulting as referring to people as southern snobs.
That would make her a Cider head then.

Ha ha ha ha, agree!

Although, we could make a race of yorkshire people....Our country could be Yorkshire and capital city Pudding!
yorkshire is a great place!! there is quite a bit of countryside!! and we have a great east coast

scarborough, bridlington!!
Doncaster isn't so much of a nice area, but York has a lot of nice history
WOWWOWO THERE !!! whats wrong with Doncaster ? parts of it are good ,the same as anywhere
Well I've lived there for 22 years and still cannot find the good parts! Some of the people who live in it are okay!

''He's just a Yorkshire pudding''

She is so rude. Why would someone talk about yorkshire puddings all the time just because they are from Yorkshire.

Northerners are just benieth her. Obviously.

i sort of agree . but he is a BIG THICK TWAT

It isn't racist at all. She was using a Yorkshire Pudding to illustrate her point. First of all, she said that he spoke of banal things. Banal means boring or ordinary. So what she was doing was calling him boring and ordinary.

Let's change the words around so that it is more clear:

David talks of boring things like dry toast all the time! David is a piece of dry toast!

Is that racist? No.

yeah I laughed ...
I think she meant he was really bland.
David talks a lot without saying much... eg about car boots sales and how he loves a bargain .... I think he has a silence phobia

Shilpa was extremely dignified both in and outside the house, she never once said that she was happy about the treatment Jade & Jo were getting afterwards. And to make a comment like it was all Shilpas fault about the way people reacted to Jade & Jo is ridiculous!!
