    LOL - Tavistock... there's a bit of a grim place for a holiday.

    Here it is:
    http://www.oldtavistockrailwaystation.co.uk/

    It's available from Saturday for 7 nights, for 2 adults, £950.

    There's one place I won't be going to then. That's a FORTUNE!

    Especially for the high end he is looking for. If you were going to spend £2k per week would you choose Tavistock? I certainly wouldn't.

    For a week's holiday I'd be looking for about £100-150 and near a beach.

    I would spend the odd week in Devon. In fact, we have once. It was half that for a small terraced holiday cottage (with elctric meter) which slept four comfotably in two bedrooms, and had asofa bed in the large sitting room. There was also a swimming pool, sauna and hot tub.

    JanCee: I agree, I don't like him. He does have very good skin though. I wonder what his secret is?

    He's very on. As if he is acting a persona for the camera. This episode isn't really holding my interest. They are very obviously just on this for the publicity and think they know everything.

    I think that is true of most of the people that appear on here now. I prefer the format of this episode though - just using one project rather than the usual two.
