TV shows about the Costas

I have just bought my third off plan  property in Spain

Two are investments and the one I bought off plan in Feb 2007 was released late Jan and ready circa Mid 2009-best deal I have seen for a long time

Last week I bought my winter home 25 mins inland very close to a prosperous Spanish Market Town - 4 beds 3 baths 400 sq m plot  with room for a nice pool  - not a large Villa but very nice- ready circa 15 mths and the Spanish buy here-cost 217.000 € inc IVA  

But I am selective and they are all in Almeria-the east end and best part 

Costa del Sol has it problems but that is not 'all of Spain'

I thought the poor Filipina being "interviewed" had more class than the lot of them - and was far better looking too. And so what if they eat dogs? At least they'd know how to cook them, which is more than those Marbella Slags would.

Gerry has quoted me for the job - I'll PM you soon.

Go Jeasis, go, exactly what I thought of her.  That poor child, I think we should pinch him, I bet she wouldn't even notice.

Ahh'lll ave you knar she is a clarssy Essex bird - s'where i am from - (Irish blood I hasten to add)  - you have to remember that we were Thatchers twenty somethings and taught  to feel that greed was good - we spent massive amounts of dough on our Dagenham dustbins such as the XR3i and I myself owned two 3 litre Capris and then a 2.8i (before I went German of course) and the whole thing was whats the point in earning it if nobody knows you do.

Poor cow doesnt know any better as that is what she has grown up with all around her - City boys in their pinstripes with money to burn and a copy of the FT and the Sun under their arm - each to their own and at least she is able to laugh at herself - at least I hope so after what went out on air. Off to Milano next week eh - praps it will be sucky spaghetti time at the restaurant - QUALITY!

I saw this for the first time last night and to be honest Im sure a lot of it is taken out of context. I do know of a couple of the ladies in the programme and whilst they seemed rough, their hearts are in the right place.

The programme doesnt give a balanced view at all of the rich mix of people living on the Costa at all - I should know - I live here too!

Enjoy it for what it is and to be honest it could have been filmed anywhere in the world.

Well thats true. I lived for a 3 year stint in Hertlepool, just down the road from M'boro and of course Newcastle.

It is a shame when ladies dont act like it but then I guess if they are happy who are we to judge?

Im from central London myself and over here one meets all sorts. Most out here are hardwoking normal people and saty away from that end of town

I'm from Newcastle.  In the rough areas you will find people who swear a lot, BUT, they are real people, nothing plastic about any of them.  If a woman was seen trying to keep her hair dry while her baby was getting wet she had better run fast.  Yes, they do wear designer clothes.  And for all those men out there, we still have men only clubs!

I live in Northumberland now, 20+ miles outside of Newcastle.

Thanks you Smiley, I shall sleep soundly now.

Obviously 2 episodes was as much as anyone could take of that crap. Even rubber-necking car crashes gets boring after a while.

I guess we'll just stick to re-runs of BL, eh Smiley?
