Perfectly-toothed professional couples in matching fleeces (poss colour variance) with Peruvian hand knitted headwear, who take their 2 weeks vacation to go do voluntary work with Andean goat herders.

I'm not sure which aspect of this is like Kelowna but I've even less sure what the reference to Reno is intended to convey. Reno has divorce, hookers and gambling, does Kelowna have a lot of street level prostitution and one armed bandits?

Similar things could be said of France. And Horsham.

Purley-St-Newts or Little Pissington on the Hares or Upper Swiddlingcotes or suchlike quaint named village out in the shires where the dustbins still get emptied by chirpy whistling chaps with red cheeks and a cheeky walk and ladies that lunch go to the WI for a nice cup of tea and a demonstration of safe-sex practices by a pair of Romanian dominatreux who also bake a mean fruit fancy :confused:

I recall an episode where the flower gardens were ravaged, caused all sorts of havoc down at the Flea-and-Turbot, someone actually argued in public and a man spilled a pint of beer in anger. The village fete had to be cancelled.
