A programme about the strange people on Trip Advisor....

[Pagwatch]

Channel 4. On now.

They all look exactly as you would expect..

I'm amazed she lasted so long cat. The nasty passive agressive comments the woman kept making I was when I realised she wasn't talking to the husand any more but the punters.

Ooooh I'm gonna watch it again. I missed the first half. It sounds delicious

Hully !

I thought of you. I had to read bits of the trip advisor thread to dh so he understood my joy. He liked the lazy whores best.

Have you been having a life Hully? You can't leave me like that.

No, no better hully, still on the drugs and talking shit

Would you like seereals?

I bet she sits under the shower with her clothes on just trying to wash away the shame GetOrf

For some reason the word revies instead of reviews makes me roar.

I really, really, really want to go to the Wooky.

Arf at poor Spanish waitress. Badly cooked langoustine and in Norfolk.

I liked the owner and her ' all the twats visit in summer' speech. You just know pissed off guest was a July visitor

I bin around, Pag, not seen you about much?

How are we progressing Meet-up wise?

Getorf, still?! What next?

I would have given up trying to say cereals and would have shouted DO YOU WANT SOME FUCKING COCO POPS, DUMBASS.

This is why I am not in the hospitality indurtsy

I did feel sorry for the owners tho..

And ffs, as one of them said, they are just B&B, not bijou hotels. Those reviewers are insane. Than nan had it right, "I'd just say they'd brought the worng drink, why would you want to mention a little thing like that?"

Yes, I think the 'all the best geusts visit in winter' was such a terribly performed piece of passive aggression.

Hully they think I have a type of nephrotic syndrome which I cant' even spell or pronounce, but have to wait for more test resulkts as people usually put on weight with that, and I have lost 2 stone. Am on lots of horrible steroids in the meantime.

Loved, loved, loved the St Ives woman going up to have it out with them. All the frothing about the light.

"What can I dooooo?!" she wailed. "I could leap over the fence and smash it in but then ee might get a new un!"

A curtain woman, they are suggesting a curtain, not criminal damage. No perspective at all

I wonder if it is a special kind of madness that decends when uptight middle-aged couples complain about toilet brushes and kettle water that makes you go a bit bonkers?

The whole programme was about the reviewers, not the reviews. The owners obsessed about the reviewers. The reviewers obsessed about their own sense of importance and so it went on. With no one paying any attention to the actual points in the review.

Yes, Katie, it was a quintessential kind of English madness, I felt. Brought on by low grey skies, too much tea and plain biscuits.

And the little one who shook with excitement before checking the sheet that HE'D DRAWN ON IN BIRO.

Getorf, that is grim.

I thought both sides came across as nutters.

I really like the look of that hotel in the lakes with the stuffed animals and porn on the walls. Might take a trip up there. Can anyone remember what it was called?

haha at the shaking with excitement.

I felt quite sorry for him tbh. Imagine having only the power to count coffee sachets and check for biro on sheets. Someone should set him up with Esperanza the Norfolk waitress, some joy can come out of this pain.

yY English madness. We are a peculiar lot.

The condition is exacerbated by close proximity to other human beings and all their foibiles when we are, by nature fucking antisocial a solitary race.

I love those Cutting Edge documentaries.

I like the way they silently just watch the people they are filming and let them hang themselves.

Filming that ghastly looking seafood was inspired as well.

Yes, exactly Kate..."if only there was some device that could shield the room from outside light at night time...should I shoot my neighbour ? Is that what you expect if me? "

I was talking to ds about it, he thought hotels etc should have the right to refuse to be featured on trip advisor. What do we think?

It was the Eltermere Inn. Are you sure you can afford it?

JESUS CHRIST.

Well, I suppose me and DP could drive up there and look at it, and then stay in a Premier Inn in Preston or Carnforth.

Oh hang on £500 or so was for 3 nights and food.

Standard room is £100 a night so not bad.

Thanks Elderberry for remembering the name

My MIL has a holiday rental thingy. It's not on TripAdvisor and neither is the 200 room hotel opposite her house. Not everywhere is there.

Interesting you mentioned Cutting Edge GetOrf when I worked for a bank that was on the ropes we had people from Cutting Edge try to do a documentary but we were too boring and sensible so they all went home and we weren't featured.

Panorama took a different approach. They interviewed people on the other side of the street who had never heard of us who frothed beautifully and made a whole programme!

Does anyone on this thread actually write reviews on TripAdvisor? Or are you all doing what you should be on a night away rutting furiously enjoying the peace and quiet?
