Anyone watch this?

I watch it most evenings but it really gets on my wick.Not because of the prats who present it,although that'd be reason enough itself,but because the prospective house buyers are just a bunch of feckin' time wasters who only appear on the programme to make out to their mates that they can afford to speculate on buying houses worth around £750k when, in reality,they have no means or intention of ever buying any of the places that they are shown.Wankers.

The worst ones were on last night.A south african couple who specified that they wanted a house with character,out buildings for their (supposedly) successful business and a few acres of land for their horses that they don't actually have yet.So the beeb provide them with 3 houses that go above and beyond what they are looking for within their ficticious budget and all the couple can say is that;

a) Oh it's really nice with bags of character but one of the bedrooms has a creaking door or something.
b) Oh the amount of land is fantastic but it slopes a bit too much and one of the horses that we don't actually own yet might topple over or something
c) Oh it's perfect in every way but the local school is ten feet further away than we expected and our lives are so dominated by our 10 month old children ,who don't even know what a feckin' school is yet,that we daren't make a decision without consulting them first as they might get lost or gang raped on the way to the school bus or something?

Oooh it makes my blood boil.

I'll be watching it again tonight mind while Mrs Sussex gets the dinner ready.Perfick.

They were probably looking for the horse they didn't have?
