Have to record 'What Katie did next' so I can watch this.

The 22 year old pikey girl Joan seems nice..............

I'm surprised that they say they are very religious and have strict moral codes but the girls dress like prostitutes!

But they are not sleeping around.

Indeed...That's what makes it quite fascinating. I wasn't expecting that and all...What's bizarre is how similar it's traditions/codes are to those found in the east.

Hmm

I wouldn't bet on it. Although having said that domestic violence must be rife.

I would be tempted to think that too tbh...The thing which I find odd is how these guys & girls appear to lead quite "sheltered" lives in the way that there lives are very much run by there parents. Sounds depressing really...Keeping in mind I had parents who applied the exact same principle on me, it just doesn't quite sit right with me that everyone is genuinely happy growing up when they're way of life promotes the total opposite to the "staying in" lifestyle they appear to have?

Mmmmm

Wasn't the whole of that programme one long advert for the woman who makes the dresses? I bet her phone is ringing off the hook today.

This is the UK we're talking about - home of the Chav, Katie Price and inexplicably famous footballers wives - absolutely.

I meant more the guests outfits. Oooh and when the girls went to that shop for the horse fair - I didn't know that there were shops like that. I need to find them and see it for myself. Call it morbid curiosity.
