these sort of programmes really wind me up, they hardly ever buy the f-ing houses in the end anyway but they always need 65 bedrooms (it's usually a couple with no kids or a couple in their 60's) 20 million acres of land for chickens 
, a room for their wellies 
, a kitchen that brings the outside in, plenty of light and if they can hear a car in the distance then it's defo a no no oh and a library or a study is vital 
and a 200ft by 200ft kitchen for when they entertain

Delusions of grandeur much?!
PMSL Aims!! though I think you've got a point 
and I like watching them, just to see what I can't have, some people need to join the real world

I'm in the real world and I certainly don't want what they've got! 
i live in a 2 up 2 down and buses pass by every 10 mins and i wouldn't have it any other way 
i mean FFS who needs a room for wellies 
and god forbid if they can see neighbours i bet they'd like them in an emergancy and when it comes down to it, they never have sold their own house in the first place

I just want a bigger kitchen, tis all. I'm a simple soul 
I just want the new neighbours 2 doors down to move out. I'd happily buy them a caravan cos they deserve to live in one. With no toilet. And no electricity. Just candlelight and a hole in the ceiling for the rain to pour through nicely on their nit infested heads and dilute their Stella cans Blimmin noisy loud animals they are Now I'm in my elder years I enjoy a bit of peace and quiet, not blimmin reincarnations of shite chavvy nightclubs and Now Thats What I Call Music 2006 on repeat. I wouldn't mind but the music's shite Ohhh I love a rant! (sorry 
)

LOL Karma, elder years, I got a few on you 
but I know what you mean as regards neighbours. Been there, done that. And hey...we're all partial to a rant now and again, and that was a good un'

I love a good rant about neighbours ours where mainly about the kids and now their older that has all stopped, seriously though, who has a wellie room?

That aint even lukewarm for me When I used to have to commute through London on a daily basis my FB statuses were a therapist's dream But re neighbours, I'm all for live and let live, but there should be boundaries and respect for those around you when you live in terraced houses and in close proximity of other people (we have gardens backing on to ours so they'll get disturbed by it too). Parties and all that are fine but not all day every day when there's elderly people and babies living so close.Reference:

I can only presume this couple have gigantic king-kong size feet Reference:

Me too, they make their noise I make mine, but it does go OTT with them at times. Constant revving of motor bikes, early in the morning
Me and daughter doin't even own wellies so a wellies room would be lost on us, chavs i you ,
Yeah Aims, I don't have wellies either. Just shoes and walk in the tyre tracks in snow
I always get infuriated by Escape to the Country too Aimee - more money than sense if you ask me, and why don't they ever buy any? At least with Location x 3 they at least put in offers!!
And if they are interested in one on ETTC you never actually see if they buy the blinking thing!!
Everything that bugs you about it bugs me too.

True
I want a 6 bedroom house (one for each kid, one for the OH and one for me and my cat) preferably with all bedrooms about a mile apart (so that's a mansion) or I could go for Karmas idea and just have a nice wee one bedroom cottage (for me and my cat) and 5 caravans waaaaaaaaaay down the bottom of the 1000ft garden I plan to have
I do have wellies so a wellie room is essential

you is well posh 
do you have a place to hang all your coats as well? Reference:

Of course. It's called the bottom of the stairs. If I have guests they get flung...sorry...placed neatly in the cupboard under the stairs i hope you have a spacious hallway that's light and airy 
Aimee, I read up there ^^^^^ that you have finally got your new front door.
I do actually have coat pegs although the kids think they're ornaments. They fling their coats on the floor then moan coz spiders get in them
I think what I need rather than a bigger house is a picker upper just to run round after the kids

My new neighbours need to be living on the Hanger Lane roundabout. No other neighbours so they can party to their hearts content but lots of horns beeping and road rage. They might even be tempted to go out and play with the traffic with any luck

This is what I will be looking for...
3 bedrooms -
a good sized kitchen
a sitting room and seperate dining room
a loo upstairs and down
off road parking ...
oh and an enclosed back garden.
I am a simple soul really,

I cant imagine anything worse than escaping to the country in a big house in the middle of a field (slightly over exaggerated) I like it quiet but I also like to have other houses shops close to me,I often think when I watch the program have they real intentions of buying a propery in the country or is it a day trip outing to them oh not forgetting they will be on the telly
Eight beds, an orangery and two acres is quite enough. In a nice area though.
I agree Marg my mum is always saying why do retired people want a massive house like that, they say they need extra bedrooms for the grand kids, how often do they actually go and stay and what if they get ill and there's no-one for miles around
and yes Yogi, i am the proud owner of a new front door
