Andrew Sachs vs. Zapatero

Well. How is a typical day of a Spaniard in UK?
One image says more than thousand words. And a video much more.
Let's play!

It's Fawlty Towers and Manuel is Andrew Sachs in the real life. Now he's a very old man but the pink people keep very good memories of him and when two presenter of BBC radio (Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross) made a series of phone calls to Andrew Sachs that crudely discussed the actor's granddaughter several tabloid broke the story and regarded the phone calls as obscene. Finally both presenters were later suspended by the BBC due to the incident, and Brand resigned from his show. The BBC was later fined £150,000 by Britain's broadcast regulator for airing the calls.
For a moment everybody in UK hated Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross but they aren't alone, ZAPATERO came to their aid.

ROSS AND BRAND ARE HEROES, SAY SPANISH         

The Madrid government last night sprang to the defence of Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross hailing them as the new heroes of anti-Spanish racism.

Prime minister José Luis Zapatero said the assault on Andrew Sachs was 'measured' given the actor's portrayal of a halfwit Spaniard who thinks a rat is some kind of Siberian hamster.

Zapatero said Sachs, banned from entering Spain since 1976, was single-handedly responsible for the country's image as a nation of greasy-haired chimpanzees who have to have everything explained to them twice.

A spokesman for the Spanish embassy in London said: "We've been leaving dirty messages on his answerphone for years.

"And every Sunday we camp outside his house and chuck handfuls of paella at his front door."

Spain's biggest newspaper El Pais said: "Señors Ross and Brand are the champions of every waiter who has ever served a table of drunken English tourists who find it amusing to answer all of his questions with 'Qué?' until one of them finally comes out with 'I'm so sorry, he's from Barcelona'."

Meanwhile, as Russell Brand admitted he had been 'caught up in the money', jumped-up researcher Jonathan Ross was last night told to apologise 18 million times over the next three years.

The BBC has also offered Brand's £200,000 salary to the Treasury to help pay down the jaw-droppingly out-of-control national debt that everyone seems to think is irrelevant compared to some swear words on an answering machine.
