Some fun for all: Language problems

This clip from the classic BBC series "Fawlty Towers" (starring Monty Python's John Cleese) presents a very funny misunderstanding between hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and Spanish bellboy Manuel (who is from Barcelona) on account of the butter "on those trays". These two characters and the confusion created by their lack of command of each other's language have given us some of the greatest comedy moments in the history of the BBC.

Enjoy it!!
