BBC4.

Anyone watching?

Haaahaa.

What do these people expect? Want the rainbow, gotta put up with the rain!

We're watching. In disbelief.

They get £20 000 for a wedding, you'd think they could put up with what people who just happen to live near pubs etc get every night, wouldn't you?

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 21:22

Yeah, cry me a river, eh?

Take a leaf out of the Duke of Northumberland's book and pull every punter in you can. It's a business with a home on-site.

It's either that or you wind up having to sell it.

Or marry some shiek whose already got the money.

Oh, and dh just said in genuine concern, 'What's happened to her face? Has she been in an awful car accident?'

I'm thinking multiple facelifts, no?

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 21:30

She saw Joyce Wildenstein's surgeon.

HAAAHAAA. Well, I see the Count has a brain - he wants to pull in the punters.

As for his sister, well, he's the count, not her.

Yes I thought the same - miserable old bag complaining about the weddings on the lawn

Kathyis6incheshigh · 27/06/2007 21:33

I like the fact that the manager was willing to wait tables when it got busy.

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 21:35

Sounds like the son would be happy to do the same if it meant some money in his pocket.

And why not?

It's either that or you can't keep it at all.

Duh.

She should have married an Aristotle Onassis if she was so bothered.

If I were Henry, I'd go back to my lucrative career in Hawaii and leave those two to rot along with their precious pile.

It's always interesting when there is someone you would normally find quite annoying (eg Henry) and you end up rooting for them.

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 21:54

No shit, Katy!

the mother was beautiful in her day though, wasn't she? she shouldn't have had surgery, those cheekbones and almond eyes would have done right by her. i hated the daughter and her husband but did feel a bit sorry for them actually. it is their home...

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 22:04

Yes, but they'd have no home left if they didn't get a grip on reality.

C'est la vie.

Henry was the only one with any sense at all, and his move of living in the local area was an even wiser business move.

If the place survives, it will be due to him and his business saavy.

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 22:05

Feel sorry for them?

Cuz that's their home?

Well, break out the violins! Someone get on the horn and call a waaambulance.

Aitch, you are losing your touch

I think they should take a leaf out of the Dukes of Devonshire at Chatsworth.
They live there and run it as a business and have modern art in the garden. And they take customer satisfaction seriously and have lovely toilets.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 27/06/2007 22:07

don't know what happened there

Kathyis6incheshigh · 27/06/2007 22:08

dukes of devonshires' book, that should say

Aitch · 27/06/2007 22:11

i said much the same in the paper, tbh. although i made the SiL look like a shit.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 27/06/2007 22:13

which paper Aitch? or is that a secret?

Aitch · 27/06/2007 22:14

if you read them all you'll be able to tell... probably best keep it a secret. expat knows, she sends me scathing critiques.

Mercy · 27/06/2007 22:15

lol expat!!!!

erm, don't the 'children' have homes elsewhere - Hawaii for example?

I can't even remember the last time I shouted 'fuck off' at the tv screen - did several times tonight!

madamenoir · 27/06/2007 22:46

daily mail aitch?

Tommy · 27/06/2007 22:52

Lady whatsit is in another world isn't she? And rather unfortuate face lift I agree. Also found Henry the only sane one. Is it a series?

Aitch · 27/06/2007 22:59

gawd no. although they do pay well.

expatinscotland · 27/06/2007 23:08

I'm tellin' ya, the Duke of Northumberland's got the game going on! Caravan park, amusement park, advertising in every Asian and Russian mag going - Come help me pay my running costs and staff!, Hogwarts tours, etc.

Not cheap to get in, but worth every penny!

Hell, even the QUEEN has game going on Balmoral - riding tours, photo safaris, self-catering cottages, events galore, etc.

You don't hear her book ass complaining about the masses descending upon her home - she's too busy counting the coin.
