Never saw it, but I think I get the idea
They buy a computer monitor "made in Britain" which immediately catches on fire. They grab the fire extinguisher but it doesn't spray anything. He looks and it also has a "made in Britain" sticker. Once he looks at... The fire extinguisher catches on fire.
The scene where Moss calmly sits down to compose the email gets me every time
I'll just put this fire over here with the other fire...
I heard that in Moss’ voice of course
I'd be disappointed if not

Thanks
The whole scene is solid gold, but the bit with the "made in Britain" is around 0:35.
EDIT: And in case you're wondering what's the number he was typing when trying to call emergency services, check this scene out.
In these modern times, lots of people don’t have many phone numbers memorized. We just keep contacts in our phones, so we forget those numbers over time. I have a few that I still have confidently memorized.
The IT Crowd new emergency services number is one of them.
you have 5 seconds to get Jenny on the line.
Thanks
