    Looking at the Grand Designs list, there are 56 there!
    It appears I have only seen about 12 of them so far.
    Blimey.

    I know someone who has been to a talk by the guy who presents GD's, he said himself, don't believe what you see on the tv, its edited to make it look completely different to the feeling that comes across when they are filming.
    I also know of a couple that were on GD's and they also made a revisited about them as well. :D what do I say..........? Umm lets just say what you see isn't exactly the truth and thats all I'm saying :)

    3/25pm ... where's Doozer.

    These are repeats though... but the really dippy people who ripped a cottage apart for no good reason ... because they thought they'd get a sports car from the profits.

    Big biffer bird.

    Wha happened to the man who didn't finish his house because he kept breaking his limbs? Jolly looking man. His family were living in a caravan.

    He has a web site about the house:

    Not updated since March 2005 at which point it was still under construction - it must surely be done now? Would love a revisited on that one.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

    I watched 2 episodes of property ladder and the beginning of Location x 3

    Upper Street Islington. "I think we did really well" Yeah, well anyone can make a good looking place for £140,000. NOt everyone can create something worth £50,000 less than they paid for it. We could have built a good sized house for £140,000!

    No doubt they are all gleeful after the second bout of rises in London and thinking they've done really well. :rolleyes:

    Yes, I've been used to just 4 channels. Couldn't get a freeview signal where I was. Moved and got a freeview box for Xmas.

    We only have the basic 4, and a couple of them don't have great reception depending on the weather, runes, or some such. Doesn't bother us.
