    My view is that some of the people on L,L,L and shows like Place in the Sun just want to be on the telly. They have no real intention of buying a house. In fact, I have seen the same people appear on different property shows at least a couple of times.

    One of the best L, L, L's was when a couple were interested in buying a dilapidated mansion. It went to sealed bids. Kirsty was advising them what to bid - they won, with a bid that was £100,000 over than the next highest one!!! Well done, Kirsty.

    I got fed up with L, L, L when it became all about desparately buying to get on the ladder and making a profit. I remember the faddy doctors too.

    All those annoying Londoners cashing in their equity to move to the country for a better quality of life. What, so the bloke can commute 300 miles every Monday and Friday and she can go nuts in a village with one shop. Their ego doesn't seem to allow them just to get a less demanding, but less well-paid job in London, they have to quit the rat-race altogether.

    Or to just buy a more modest house in a more commutable area. They almost always want something really impressive and it's obvious they are looking forward to showing it off to all their friends and making them jealous.

    Brilliant! As Kirsty would say, you can't be too careful, you've got to make sure you get that properdee!

    Im amazed that there is such hatred towards these two people, surley they can't be blamed for causing HPI? For the record, I didn't even know who they were until I joined MSE.

    People love a scapegoat as it's easier than thinking.

    Excellent news.

    In spite of the qualification "may", this statement may finally cook her credibility goose with the TV schedulers who have already given them several chances too many.
