Sandra asked Andrew who Thomas was at which point Andrew told her Thomas was his brother from out of town. Sandra, becoming more exasperated, said "You two look nothing like each other" at which point Andrew said "No, mum worked in a circus". Andrew and Thomas are not related. English mustard is rarely available in Italian coffee shops. Sandra has since moved away.
