"Suburban" ?

I don't recall the episode title; Rumbold comes to the sales floor to implement a "new" approach on how to increase sales..(gee, really?!) haha! He suggests what might appeal to a typical "suburban" couple, and Peacock objects to the term, favoring "upper middle class". Rumbold then bluntly poses three "qualifying" questions to Peacock, and after Peacock's final answer, Rumbold deadpans, "You're SUBURBAN!" hahaha! I remember one of the questions was about the number of gnomes Peacock has in his garden, and the other mentioned whether he was within walking distance of a metro rail station, but I don't remember the third...??

but I don't remember the third...??

The third question was:

Have you got two bathrooms in your house?

Actually, Rumbold asked that question first. 

Episode is "Sit Out", in case you were wondering.

Thanks for the help, Jokers; and no, I didn't clarify that the "third" question was in order of questions asked---I was seeking only the missing question from the other two, regardless of the order Rumbold asked them. I just think it was a humorous exchange, anyway! :-)
