Default A Place In The Sun....

Am i right in thinking that the " A Place In The Sun " programme with Sue was meant to be scheduled for this wed ( 24TH ) ? Have checked the t.v listings and can't find it. Am I being a Fozzy and looking at the wrong channel???

This is more than likely but its not your fault you probably couldn't turn the pages properly on the TV guide with those unfeasably large wrists.

I wonder if they say on the program that she is now glad to be back living in the UK!

Seems bizzare that people actually emigrate due to some of the sunnier episodes of these shows, when in fact the person may have hated it and moved back.

Its like those property shows that are 4 years old, house prices can double and treble in that time frame.

We can always rely on Dotty to bring us back down to Earth!

Yes she is happily back in the UK, but I am sure she is glad that she tried it.

Read one of the threads where a life in the sun doco has aired.

Bad doco = poeple have second thoughts.

Great doco = umm yes now we are considering going there.

I agree with you people are mental. No wonder so many end up in shock!

Tinaj, your posts mystify me more than anyones. I think you should have gone to America, you do not strike me as Aussieish, snobby surrey girl, disneyland holidays, easily bored, love to shop, love to travel, yet you talk of the sunshine coast :scared: :scared:

My posts mystify you, down to earth, truthful, earthy info that saves people a fortune.

You offer people the chance to talk about dreaming.

I offer the nitty gritty.

I dont slag you off for posting wistful rubbish so dont keep dissing me for posting reality.

I thought you had me on ignore anyway?? Cant resist me eh

I'm not emigrating due to the fact that I watch a programme related to emigration, so you may as well put that sweeping statement away for starters.

My husband has lived in australia, I have visited - we are WELL aware of the price of property and can happily afford it - thankyou very much.

Posting negative comments is fine, people like myself get the opportunity to read the positive and negative and make up our own minds.

Do you not think - if you use your brain for a nano second, that some people may actually emigrate for reasons other than sun, sea, sand etc. you don't know me or my family and so are extremely unqualified to make sweeping statements.

It's easy to be nasty when you're hiding behind a computer screen isn't it? And if Australia is as bad and uninspiring as you'd like everyone to believe, then why don't you sod off back to the U.K?

If you are 'earthy' how can I be insulting you by saying that you are bringing us back down to Earth?

And as for your comments of me emigrating to America, I thought I was going for the next best thing Brisvegas or Brisneyworld as you call it.

I love Disney and Disneyworld and moving to Aussie wont stop me from going there. It will just cost me more.

Your posts do not mystify me, rather remind me why you should come back to the Uk - you will fit in well with all the whingers over here
