Interesting. It's regarded as ok by many of the posters here for Ramsay to mock someone for his *principles*.

I wonder would people feel the same glee if he did the same with *religious* dietary principles - if he fed a Jew pork or a Muslim non-Halal food, then sniggered and mocked and told the chef he'd "converted" the person.

For our American friends, a prat is, of course, the same as a gobshite. Clear now?
