I myself am most impressed by the very snazzy "Patel Cottage" signage.

That is some grade A lunacy, right there. With only 26 letters in the Roman alphabet to go at (extra letters in some languages notwithstanding) and only a finite number of combinations that are pronounceable, it should hardly be a surprise that some identical combinations have different meanings in different languages. Or that words can be made up of several combinations that are other words. It does not mean that a carpet has any connection with either a car or a pet, or that bond (to stick) in English is cognate with bond (leap) in French.SteveUK wrote:WeRe bank fan and legendary lawyer Hayles Owen QC offers Rekha some advice to get her home back.
Nope, I'm lost too

Or even in the same language. I see a poster on Goofy trying to build his house of cards around the word "charge", and managing to persuade himself that a parking ticket (Parking Charge Notice) gets registered at the Land Registry.rosy wrote:... it should hardly be a surprise that some identical combinations have different meanings in different languages.
Especially if you're going to arbitrarily break up words and change vowels where needed.rosy wrote:it should hardly be a surprise that some identical combinations have different meanings in different languages.
That's what makes it majick! nonsense.TheNewSaint wrote:Especially if you're going to arbitrarily break up words and change vowels where needed.rosy wrote:it should hardly be a surprise that some identical combinations have different meanings in different languages.
I remember the show from when it first broadcast, She was told she was mad for even buying the house, she was told the work needed had to be done by a specialist, she was also told that if she breached planning or if she damaged her neighbours house she would get taken to the cleaners. She knew the score from the outset but decided to ignore the advice and what she was told what would happen has happened.SteveUK wrote:Sadly no longer available, but I think it's safe to say it'll be an "empty

I was exposing the Rekha thing to my wife. Miss SteveUK is in a very senior position in the teaching racket - and is amazed Rekha hasn't been in some sort of trouble with her employer over this.Bones wrote:I feel for her studentsnotorial dissent wrote:I am beginning to believe that the woman has serious cognition issues on top of just being flat out stupid and full of herself.
Three options, she may well have been and we've just never heard, the school is so bad that she doesn't stand out(their standing is very poor from what I understand), she actually is good at the one thing she really "knows" and doesn't go beyond that.SteveUK wrote:I was exposing the Rekha thing to my wife.

Wow, she's a living argument for the mandatory testing of teachers on a regular basis.He Who Knows wrote:Click on the recently published OFSTED inspection letter (11 Jan 2017) on the link below and it will show that this underperforming school underachieves mostly in Mathematics, Rekha Patel's subject. https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspectio ...
