Urgh, as soon as any programme brings that Judi whatserface out, I can feel my eyes start rolling.

Reference: I'm sorry squiggle, I just don't believe that Tony Blair was this fiend who was dying for a war whatever it took. If he had'nt gone into Iraq, he would probably be called the best PM Britain had for decades.

The couple from Blackpool were the worst. He genuinely thought his address No1 made him exactly that, and they're not.

I completely disagree Squiggle. I thought the most stuck up with the superiority complexes were the two who didn't have the classification. The snobby Dorset couple and the pillock from Avebury were awful. They may have had picturesque homes stuffed with antiques but they didn't seem to give a damn about providing the guests with a good service, only about making money. The ones who did subscribe to the star system strived to give guests exactly what they would expect of that rating and more. [ more ]
