To hate everyone on Location, location....

[NormanTebbit]

I know this has been done before but...beautiful £800,000 house in Marlow, stunning but y'know -just not quite good enough for them.

Why is everyone on that programme so up themselves? It's lovely house, you are very, very fortunate, buy it and piss off.

I am slightly addicted to LLL and but wonder what is the point really of K & P who after showing the first (duff) house always whisper to camera "They're going to have to compromise on size or location." Then they suddenly find a house that's big enough in the right location, so they were wrong OR they don't find anything right for the buyer, who a week later finds their own perfect house in the perfect location.

Overused phrases that annoy me:
Yes "forever home"
"Ticks all the boxes"
"Blank canvas"
"Put our own stamp on it" (= make it look like everyone else's: wood floors, brown leather sofas etc.)

I like Grand Designs. Kevin has been quite open about Ben Law's house in the wood being his favourite [and apparently the publics favourite too]. That makes him OK in my eyes.
LLL does piss me off a little bit. I think it is too skewed towards the £800,000 buyers. A few buyers towards the other end of the market would balance it out a bit better. Plus a few more open minded buyers would help. I do think a lot of the buyers would be better off just buying some land, or demolishing an existing house and building their own as they are so nit picking and demanding.

YANBU

They are all unmitigated bastards. The lot of them.

I hate how houses are "properties", rooms are "spaces", gardens are "outdoor spaces". Suck on mah baws, the lot of you. Media wankers. With stupid Algenon kids and Kumon maths.

Suck on mah baws.

Oh and "Damien" (I bet he was named Dave or Pete at birth but it wasn't 'media-y enough for him) was a right Nathan Barley. Was half expecting him to proclaim the cooking space (kitchen) to be "well jackson" or summat.

I can't watch LLL anymore, winds me up too much.

There are 2 Huf houses in Winchester. We walk past every so ofren. I was quite pleased when DD ran up the driveway of one of them, I managed to get a good look at it before I rugby tackled her. They look huge. Good black out blinds too, I didn't realise people were at home until we were quite close and I could see a crack of light around the window frame.

Bup didn't you clock the Wasp T12 in Damien's pocket? Well weapon.

i thought kirsty was rude to be perched on the sofa arm with her SHOES ON!

Yes! It was Nathan Barley made real!

well jackson

these aren't real people............its tv fgs

Can I ask please why people always say it's wrong to be jealous. Why? I understand it's best to avoid feeling this way for your own wellbeing but I don't get why its wrong?

I may feel jealous of someone who can afford a lovely house but I don't feel any resentment or hostility towards them.

I always wonder about the commuting distances they come up with. Marlow to Uxbridge in half an hour in rush hour! Really?

At least they admitted that Henley to Uxbridge was "slightly" over half an hour.

Love LLL, think it ok to be jealous but stupid to say you hate people because you are jealous of them.

I was more worried why anyone would care so much about being cool and wicked at such and advanced age!

Devils, I was blubbing too.

I hate how the couples in LLL, have a maximum of two kids, are shown a fucking massive house and then bleat about how there isn't enough space. Makes me want to bash them over the heads with a frying pan.

GD - no matter how much money is spent, or how many months fretting, they always end up living in a house which resembles a giant greenhouse. Yes it's high tech, but god it's ugly.

The house that Damo and his weird-haired ponce-wife bought in the end (the next door one) looked rank. Like it had been rented out to a bunch of students for twelve months.

Nylon ribbed carpet with no underlay is the dead giveaway. I burnt the one in my student bedroom ironing letters on curtains at 4am for my degree show. Smelt baaaaad.

I suppose though, that if the people on LLL weren't so fussy they'd have found a house for themselves in the first place and wouldn't need Kirsty and Phil's help, right?

Quite. They've all exhausted their search and are hoping K&P are going to pull a miracle out the bag, then get the massive arse when they realise Dream House doesn't exist in their budget, K&P or not.

apparently using phil and kirstie isn't such a great idea if you are desperate as many vendors refuse to allow filming on the premises- probably because they know some tosspot will wrinkle their nose or refuse to even enter, because the house is somehow beneath them. So it rather limits your options.

I actually do think I hate some of these people. Really.

Can I echo Bupcakes? I think she put it rather well.

They are all actors though arnt they? We have friends who went on escape to the country to genuinly sell thier home, and the people viewing their house were actors.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTT??????

ahem see my post further up thread - its not real

Maybe it's a prerequisite of the show, that at least one half of the couple has to be an annoying numpty. The viewer can console themselves with the thought that although they don't have £800k for a house, at least they don't also have to put up with the spouse.
