Carry on Ambridge: Top 8 Ambridge Euphemisms

Oh you naughty lot. The things you read into the goings-on in Ambridge. You should be ashamed.

1. Going Brazilian in the Tea Room

Jaws drop as the theme for the Village Fete is taken a step too far by Fallon and Emma...

2. Coaxing your pansies to bloom with a hairdryer

And though Lynda may have been ousted from the Brazilian festivities by the Ambridge coup, she's been there done that when it comes to some eyebrow-raising activities of her own...

3. Furnishing your yurt

According to Kate, this must be done in the precise style of the Mongolian nomad.

4. Greasing up the trailers

Pip couldn't keep her mind on anything else.

5. Harvesting the barley

In fact, every excuse that Pip uses to throw Rex off the scent of her dalliance with Toby sounds decidedly risque.

Harvesting the barley, recording a black cap... we all know what you're up to Philippa, even if Rex doesn't...

6. The classic: Taking someone up Lakey Hill

No list of Ambridge euphemisms could be complete without this one.

Go up there on certain summer evenings and one doesn't know where to look.

7. ... or up the polytunnels

A particular favourite of Adam's...

One can be forgiven for getting quite hot-under-the-collar with it all...

8. Going for a Nuffield

And there we were thinking Tom was considering applying for a SCHOLARSHIP.

Not sure why he needs Adam, Brian and Justin to get involved though. Some things are best done in private.
