    47:43 A few years back, two American tourists 'doing Europe' asked for train tickets to Venice at Stockholm Central Station. The ticket-seller heard this as Vännäs, a small town in the north of Sweden. In Swedish, Venice is 'Venedig'. If you have a Scandinavian or German near by, he/she will tell you what Vännäs sounds like. Anyway, you can quite imagine that an American saying Venice might be heard as Vännäs by a Swede. The couple ended up in northern Sweden not far from the Arctic Circle instead of in the Queen of the Adriatic and their story made the papers.

      my partner ran afoul of the exchange rate, euros to dollars, he went nuts in a Finnish design shoppe because, he thought he was saving a 1/3 over the euro, back home the credit card bill was almost twice what he thought he spent. I wasn't going to argue, he needs to learn.

      Repeats a lot of his 'jokes' in many episodes, including the 'working her/him with your/my foot", explaining the joke to the audience, doing a spit take with a glass of water, and reading off the autocue to disrupt the host, particularly with Alexander Armstrong. And he has the worst poker face I've ever seen on a panel show. If he doesn't like someone, we are left in no uncertainty about it, especially noticeable during the Angus Deakin days..
