necker island looks horrid

[southeastastra]

just looks like its lacking something

His staff clearly need to have three credentials- beauty,a private education and a vacuous nature.

Also the "we" do this and "we" do that alongside the constant creeping to the boss would drive me crackers.

I've seen them do the bulldozing at Eastbourne

I bet it's a right swingers paradise

Something very disturbing. A undercurrent of pimping out staff to guests.

Or is it my interpretation.

Quite liking the school run though....

Well, his last comment re guests mixing with staff says it all

The 'straddled massage'

Oh my word

Def some pimping going on, the chef seems nice though.

'Group of friends'

DH and I have been scoffing at this programme. Yes, Dicky not coming across too well.

"Anything goes". Oh dear

There was definitely something a bit ewww about the whole thing. Feels a bit grubby.

Sea looks gorgeous but constant socialising with public school randoms who you are trapped with on an island is definitely not my idea of a good time.

Very grubby.

Shame, at the start I thought it was going to be lovely.

But yuck. All very odd. Undertones of sleaze.

Richard not coming out of it very well.

I guess if the guests are paying they can have whatever and whoever they want.

Eeew, that was a bit close to his bottom

Identikit public school randoms up their own backsides.

I really wasn't expecting it to be quite so vulgar Daahling, but I suppose it is Branson.

The disco?? WTF?? V Shagaluf

I don't think the Birmingham terraced house couple were public school randoms.

God it's really tacky isn't it!

The staff are one step away from prostitution, in my opinion. Ugly people need not apply.

If I was mega rich there's NO WAY I'd spend my money on that tacky resort, hob nobbing with the elevator salesman and trying to 'get face time with Richard'.

The brummy lady said it all when she said that nobody wanted to know her when they assumed her DH had the money, and once they realised she was the one with the money, they started being nice to her . And that everyone's interested in how much you earn and what you do for a living. How crass.

I always thought it was just his private island, with a handful of other holiday homes. I had no idea it was a full on resort.

Seriously lowered the place's reputation, I think

The whole golf balls made of fish food cinched it for me. Completely bonkers.

Paying £30k to have some public school blonde pretty people pretend to be your beasties for a week.

Enforced "how the other half live" itis.

Me and DH have just had a proper catsbumface on all the way through this. Just so sleazy 'could you mix a couple of piña coladas and deliver them with your shirt off please?' Ick.

Yes, I don't feel like that's done Necker any favours??

I thought the same about the staff being pimped out. The disco nights etc seemed tacky. I thought I'd misheard about eating sushi from the body of the staff. Also the idea that people pay to go there to say they've met Richard, or to plug their business ideas to him really cheapened the image of the place for me. The Brummie couple seemed honest and their suggestion that other guests were only interested in what you did and how much money you had was disappointing, and again made the place feel tacky. And the activities seemed no different to what you could do in other places.

I had the idea that "private island" meant something different. I've been to the Maldives and that seemed similar, but classier.
