Preview clip of Susan = *facepalm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00hm113
Obviously the first bit was edited so it made her look like she was saying those things in-a-row, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at that. I can't wait to see Zoe's reaction in the episode

But the fact that she can quite shamelessly say that she has no idea about our closest neighbour on mainland Europe or their culture is a little disturbing. She could at least have exhibited a little contrition for her ignorance. |

She could at least have exhibited a little contrition for her ignorance. I referred to it as casual racism rather than any malevolant type. To be fair to her she does say she knows nothing about the French, although I would guess that can also be applied to maternal instincts and the human race. So her ignorance is an excuse. Like I say, she is a really plausible candidate. She has alot of growing up to do. |

Susan wasn't born or raised in the UK, so it's not that terribly shocking.
Susan could say she was an admirer of Hitler and there would be people on here saying 'Well maybe she's right' such is the love for that girl on here. Stop making excuses for when she comes out with completely idiotic statements. |

Most people do at 21!They have spent most of their time learning things for their educational qualifications and the specific skills they need to survive in their own world - what and wherever that may be. The question is, does she have the basis on which to build a rounded personality and is Sugar prepared to be a good mentor. Oh, and does she have a viable business plan? (Viable for a £250k investment, that is.) |

Neither was I (as my name implies) ...... and even I kind of figured that it was possible the french liked children and that they drove vehicles.

One can only hope that she's really asking the questions: "Do the French spend a lot of money on things for their children/cars" and just expressing it in a rather odd way. |

It would only be racist if there was some indication that she thought all races liked their children except the French (or some group selected on a racial basis). |

I'm not trying to make excuses, just pointing out that, for a large chunk of her life, France was not one of her closest neighbours.

I can't wait to see Zoe's reaction in the episode ![]() Possibly it’s an expensive piece of kit and Susan is thinking out loud before the task. Do enough French people drive and do they love their children enough …. to spend mega Euros on our product? It’ll be interesting to see if Karren embittered remarks are spot on or if Susan is pre-planning and just rambling out loud pre the task. |
