Watching this episode has gotten me really angry. The British really are not coming across well, rather really arrogant, naïve, ignorant, xenophobic almost and completely inept. It seems they woke up one day and thought "Oh, we're going to start marketing ourselves" without actually thinking about it. What is going on with Poole in China? I know China is far from the UK and a vast cultural and language barrier lies between, but was anyone overseeing what was going on, like, ever?
@0431537948241 yep, the representative is very arrogant, when he was served diner he made a disgusted face and in this video he calls them hobbits, lol
@0431537948241 I looked at it from the receiving end. 1) The Italian designer was total garbage. He had no right putting together an arty-farty exhibit for Saville Row so I agreed with the feedback from the Saville Row tailors. 2) The Chinese obviously took liberties. Also, the reference to "Hobbits" wasn't because they were smaller than him. It's because Hobbits eat breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea etc. All Hobbits do is eat, which is what the representative was referring to.
They really like speeches in china....

I find the Henry Poole rep's tie and shirt pretty hideous, am I the only one to think that a bright orange shirt and a white tie is just plain ugly ?

@MrFabiosciarretta Fully agreed. Not even the best fitting suit can make up for this tasteless combination... In fact, it looks naff and vulgar.
