From Fawlty Towers when Basil is having to deal with a guest Mrs Richards who is complaining about the view from her bedroom....
Mrs Richards:- "When I pay for a room with a view, I expect to see the sea."
Fawlty: "You CAN see the sea! It's over there, between the land and the sky!"
MR:- "Well, it's just not good enough!"
F:- "Well, may I ask what madam was expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom? Sydney Opera House? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain?"
MR:- "I expect a discount"
F:- "Why? Because Krakatoa isnt erupting at the moment??"
