    Excellent. Can't stand that ponce McCloud (get a proper architecht C4, not a 'lighting designer'). Love it when he thinks people are mad for doing something he wouldn't have thought of, then seeing it work really well.

    Nice one Cheesy.

    I love it.

    Better than Location, Location, Location.

    At least these people tend to have interesting ideas, rather that than…

    "Jasper and Hermione have £950,000 for a weekend bolthole in the Cotwolds, but with Jasper insisting on a subterranean garage for his classic car collection and Hermione demanding a double range cooker to keep her persian cat warm they may prove hard to please"

    Kevin McCloud is a designer, presenter and author. With a family background in engineering, a degree in the history of art and architecture and experience as a theatre designer, he brings many different perspectives to the Grand Designs series. Kevin has written and presented every series of Grand Designs, plus one of Grand Designs Indoors. "I went to Cambridge to take a degree in languages, which quickly changed to philosophy, then finally to the history of art and architecture" Not just a lighting designer it would seem eh!

    I've never seen anyone wear a Parka with the same degree of causality as Kevin McCloud.

    I've been known to have quite wild hair. What does that make me, Albert **** Einstein?

    McCloud's a PONCE.

    'Ooh look at me with my degree in History of Art and Architecture'.

    Ponce. Look at me with my baseball bat with 6" nails driven through it.

    SMACK!

    Not criticising their lime wash now, are you? ****

    Oh dear. they are referring to the old Bungalow as 'she'. not good.

    Did anybody else think that 'bungalow gobbling' could be a euphemism?

    If they were referring to a cottage, I'd find that easier to swallow.

    I believe psychologists refer to the phenomena as 'luxury problems'.

    you're not very imaginative then are you?

    Personally I'd stay in the Dales, rather than on the edge, somewhere walking distance to a good pub or restaurant, near the hill I wanted to ride up. Not in Hellifield

    somewhere walking distance to a good pub

    this being my second consideration when house hunting, right there after 'how much is it'

    Fair enough djg
    For my parents it was about staying in the Peel, they live in Ilkley which is as near to the Dales as Helifield. Some of the best Dales MTB routes are around that area, but hey ho.

    I like Kevin McC, but I wish he'd stick the boot in more often. When he told that clot his hideous extension looked like a water tower his reaction was brilliant.

    I was also astonished to find out that Kevin has a wife. I was convinced he was "unmarried"

    They are doing the old lifeboat station conversion in Tenby – that should be a good one.

    I think someone on here knows him reasonably well. Apparently a really nice bloke.

    The woman this week didn't end up preggers after Uncle Kevin's visits.

    You can always watch something else.

    If you don't watch it, why come to this thread? Just to sneer?
