What kind of sickos expose their finances, kids and personal tastes to a TV audience - there is something very wrong and disturbing about these kind of people.
I saw one episode where the guy said "yeah Barnsley is changing, there are a lot of immigrants and the town has changed so now, because I made a bit of money on my business, is the right time to retire abroad. But we would still want to be a part of a British expat community"... how that got through the BBC edit is beyond me.
So people coming to live in Barnsley are immigrants while he thought he was an 'expat'. What a prick.
I get great delight in telling 'expats' in Uganda that they are migrants and seeing them squirm.
