Little England - ITV1

[GTIR]

I've just watched about 15 minutes of this tosh.

Basically it's a series about boring people going on about their boring lives in France.

It's like a televised version of the "Tell us something really trivial about your life" thread but less car topics.

I'm off to top myself.

Ahhh you should have stayed with it! You missed a thrilling bit about a dog groomer (she lives on her own) and a builder from essex who is errrr building stuff, but WAIT! He has 6 sisters, count 'em, 6!

Gripping stuff.

Beautiful area and the fact there are so many brits there has put me off it now!

Don't let a dodgy TV show cloud the reality. There are a lot of British in the area but I would move there in a shot if circumstances dictated otherwise. We spent some time with friends who have a place near Aubterre during the summer. It really is idylic in terms of quality of life. Even better, the roads are deserted.
35c (dry heat not the horrible humid stuff), vineyards everywhere and genuinely friendly locals.

Maybe there is a conspiracy to deter Brits from that area by making it look st!

I caught a bit of this.... That chap did rock up to the airport to collect the six sisters and his mother in a Skoda didn't he? How does that work then?!
