Flid is sort of an East Anglia thing, Rutland, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire sort of area.

I hadn’t heard it either but googling it says this (thought it would save someone else looking it up). Noun. flid (plural flids) (UK, slang, derogatory, offensive) A stupid or physically uncoordinated person; a retard.

It's just a shortened term for 'Thalidomide'.

Googled that dogging film you mentioned (which I'd never heard of) and have never heard of anyone in it but was amazed to see the original music for it was composed by Tom Bailey!!!!! As a lifelong Thompson Twins fan now I'm gonna have to watch it...

It's hard for an American to react to a 37yo dating a 17yo, obviously in the UK it's massively frowned upon but not technically illegal so at the time was deemed ok to laugh at

The only other show I have heard use this word is in Peep Show, the episode with the school reunion iirc. I just brushed it off as a posh word because it came out of David Mitchell's mouth 😂

That was a weird episode. That Johnny Vegas Chantel storyline is just weird bordering on creepy. And that Jack storyline is ridiculous as well, he was giving off psycho vibes. Why would a young lad like him be obsessed with this women twice his age and follow her round? Makes zero sense. Weak script on this one but love the series overall.

Yeah, I'm in South of Scotland and I googled it when he mentioned it. I've never heard it. And haven't even heard it used on TV (although I have seem this episode before, it didn't register).

Weak episode, episode 8 is great (wedding ep) then there’s a special episode which follows on from episode 8, make sure you watch this before S3.

Hey love these reactions please make sure you watch the special episodes between series as these all follow the story line and are very good

I've never heard of the term "flid" before. I had to google it. It must be a southern British slur. I'm from the north. The most northerly city in the UK.

Make sure you react yo the benidorm special episode after series 2 episode 8 as its kind of a follow on from episode 8 so episode 8 and the special are like a 2 part episode

Gavin’s partner Troy told Donald and Jaqueline discreetly at the table that his mother has always had commitment issues, so just as he’s getting used to her being around and forming a bond, she does what she’s always done and vanished with no warning. As far as I remember I think that’s pretty much the end of that side story.

Johnny Vegas always plays a great drunk, when he first started out as a stand up comedian his whole act was a loud drunk, he won many awards for what he did.

The johnny vegas chantelle story line is a little bit weird. He is alot older and she is old enough for dating and sex but it's odd to me. Especially having young daughters myself. I would not like my 17 /18 yr old daughter going on dates with a 37 yr old bloke
