The Property List : Best Coastal locations

Did anyone just see this prog on 5 ? :confused:

What a load of crap. :rolleyes:

St. Mawes, on the Cornish coast in the middle of nowhere, they say "excellent employment opportunities". !!!!!!??? :confused:

And then about Llantwit Major, when they show numerous views of the pebble and seaweed covered rock "beach" - "some of the best golden sands in Britain". !!!!!!??? :confused:

And why was the male presenter Ian Blandford wearing his grandfather's clothes? :confused:

    I saw the 2nd half. Missed St Mawes. I looked at St Mawes in 1998-2000, but decided there was nothing there so if one were to be a bit impoverished one would be well and truly stuck. It'd be a day trip to get a few basics by using the bus to get to a supermarket.

    As for Llantwit, I hadn't realised it was AT the coast or I'd have gone there by now, so I did a quick maps.google .... and found [a] it wasn't it wasn't sandy.

    boooooo was my rating for this rubbish.

    it was indeed truly dire

    but the female presenter was far easier on the eye than Krusty from LLL.
    It's a health benefit ...

    It was more like an EA's publicity stunt for the purpose of flogging surplus 6-bedroom £1million houses.

    Bore no relation to most people's real lives at all :(.

    Thanks for that.

    TV Prawn is still trying to ramp Sandbanks. That is so 2006!
