Richard,

you might want to offer something a tad more appropriate to all these yachtsmen and women than a holiday as most of them probably go boatin' for their holidays and would probably prefer something like a new outboard or dinghy etc etc.....only a suggestion from someone who is in the early days of planning a great escape.

Hi,
not sure what type of family you are looking for, but we are husband and wife. We have had both flotilla and bareboat holidays each of the last six years. This year for the first time we took our daughter and grandson. Look forward to mre details if we are of interest to you,
Regards
Ann Worsley

Re: ITV seeks ultimate sailing family (free holida

I see that you've identified yourself in your profile NOT!!

Are you a troll ?
Prove you say who you are, why would anybody be stupid enough to be made to look a fool after you've edited the footage and broadcast the outakes all for the offer of a 'free' holiday?

having switched off several of this type of program i can confidently predict:

-you will be paired up with people you would go out of your way to avoid.

-the producers will load the script to provoke confrontation

-only the bad bits will be shown and you'll be portrayed as some sort of idiot and/or monster

the fact that you will have no control over the situation amounts to a form of public bullying as has become so popular on tv of late (weakest link et al). it seems to appeal to the types who would stand behind the playground bully and cheer him on.

reality tv is a cheap source of material that relies on a never-ending supply of people who will undergo any form of treatment for the sake of being on the telly. you too can become a celebrity. i recall an edition of a crimewatch style program where a burglar phoned in about his own crime to get on the screen!! doh!

I would have thought my direct line telephone number and e-mail address with my companies URL should suffice for ID. Many people in our shows such as Faking it and Holiday Showdown come out looking very good, I take it you have not seen an episode of either.

Though if you'd like further re-assurance, and perhaps a chance to participate in something which is at the end of the day quite a unique and exciting experience, then feel free to call me.

Regards,

Richard Lattimer

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your reply, we are ideally looking for a family with teenage kids who are all into sailing and who do it regularly on holiday. If you would like to call for a quick chat about the show then feel free, my number is 020 7013 4529.

Kind regards,

Richard

Dunno ...

Thought idly about this when Richard contacted SWMBO recently.

We'd probably end up as beach zombies in Benidorm, frying to a crisp all day, clubbing all night, and trying my luck at getting SWMBO senseless with sangrias so as to pull some equally pissed bint less than half my age.

While some poor trainee hair stylist from Romford, her used-car salesman and their snotty brat get stuck in a 40 footer on a crossing from Mallaig to St Kilda, without even a copy of Hello! between them.

Could I trade a few shots of my geriatric groping, in exchange for watching the other half trying to pull down a reef in a rising F6 while wearing a thong and party heels? Well, maybe. ;-)
