If you were buying a holiday home anywhere in the world - where would it be???

[soapbox]

Can be UK or overseas?

Earl Grey with Sheila and Brian

A wee dram with Hamish and Morag

Mint tea with Mohammed and......Mustafa

Tapas and fino with Miguel and Margarita

It's all the same.

it is true that the locals resent them on the whole, unfortunately

Can we bring this thread back round to what it is about? Ta.

I would like a place in Cornwall please.

I've never had PMT in my life.
Tourists,yes!!
Second home owners...booo hisssssssss

cornwall!

thats dead badger nailed to your door territory

I quite liked The Wicker Man so bring on the badgers.

I'm still not sure why anyone else's like or otherwise of me would influence where I holiday????

Afterall its not often that you go on holiday and become best buddies with the waiters is it???

In fact I'm actually very anti-social on holiday so would probably say no if Hamish offered me a malt!!!!

Normandy.
Nice and close and not too foreign.

yeah but you have to stay in with the locals or the plumber will never come out and see you

I don't want to fit in with the locals down Beauchamp Place. I vant to svan around - I vant to shop, theatre, cinema, go to Waitrose on the King's Road, eat at the Gay Hussar. I don't give a flying um, fig, about my neighbours.

I get all the Pastis a girl could drink already, right here

Oh and the Gap, I want the Gap, I want a choice of the Gaps......

Is it because of 2nd homers pricing existing residents out of the market moondog/enid? or jealousy/dont like strangers round here type thing?

I marvel as I said at the insensitivity of people somewhere where they are not wanted or welcome.
(Short holidays don't count-as you say soapbox,noone is going to get in with the dishwasher and his tribe on a long w/end in Barcelona)

Jealous? Me?
Good God no,I could pick and choose my second homes if I wanted one.I've got wads of dosh.

I do make sure I as unpleasant as possible to any second home owners round here in the hope that they'll all p**ss off back to where they came from however.

And on that note,I'm off to school to pick up dd.

Moondog - I suspect it would be the same if it was a full time resident though!!

Not exactly a welcome in hillsides kind of place then is it!!!!!

jersey or France

where do you live moondog?

you sound like a lovely person moondog

It would have to be France, in the Alps for Ski-ing or failing that the Loire valley.

Wales!

I was going to put wales as well.

Oh it is - not a guess!!!!

SOmetimes its Turkey though!

sometimes what is turkey?

Sometimes Moondog lives in Turkey!

oh really?

A second home?

burn her stone her pi$$ off where you came from etc

No she rents I think - while her hubbie works there.
