Did this TV programme reflect truthfully the nature of the type of folks who populate this part of the world.All the boaters/horsey sorts and naturists seem mebbe only loosely connected with the real world.
As for some of the backround shots,just how many boats can you squeeze into a small piece of bay./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

If you looked closely, and you knew what you were looking for, you would have seen my boat there. Some of the weekends last summer you could have walked from the beach out to your boat there were so many there.
Can't comment on the people there as I don't normally talk to many of them! But I wouldn't call them locals, more well heeled types that have bought into that area from the smoke and the likes.

here here, lots of outsiders there. nice place tho' and the kids love it.

you can identify the locals....

they'll be the ones eating seaweed and pulling limpets from their shells.... the crabs do the same too.

What a load of unpleasant snobs, watched the next episode on BBC4 and they got even worse. The beeb will have swooped on these folks cos they know peeps like us would say wot plonkers. I'd hazard a guess that 95% of the other villagers would be completely different.

It constantly amazes me that people agree to take part in this kind of fly-on-the-wall prog because they must know that it will be edited in such way as to make 'good television' ie. make them look like plonkers. Are people so keen to see their themselves on telly that they dont care how they come across?

I have to agree...that awful couple share my surname, I hope they are not related.

As for their issue withthe National Trust over their former Hotel lease, it surely should hammer home to everyone the importance of reading and fully understanding the implications of any important document or contract before you sign it. Imbeciles.

Now if the sea hadn't been allowed to 'get on with it' through the lives of previous generations we wouldn't have Lulworth Cove - for example.
I think it is a very difficult balance, but should be a balance, and I certainly don't think a blanket leave it alone policy addresses it.
The constant references to the financials (not the Manor House Hotel ones!) of maintaining sea defences left me confused as to the actual drivers / principles being invokked in decision making. Always nice to have a choice of principles to bring to bear on any problem.
