    probably still on sale, they never buy anything on that show. Amazing villas and apartments at knock down prices and they don't like the colour of the tiles round the swimming pool so that's a 'no'.

    TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

    We want a villa with plenty of space and a nice pool. Must be near the beach. Oh no that won't do, the crashing waves will keep me awake

    A place in the sun is generally full of messers who ultimately just get a free holiday on ITV. Only drawback is having to meet up with the irritating presenters including that one who says ‘communal poool’ in a very odd way.

    Surely you don't mean our Danni? She looks like she'd be good fun on a holiday, she could even leave a stoool in my poool, I wouldn't mind

    We were driving in Holland many years ago, in the small hours of the morning, when we decided we wanted a drink. Quickly found a bar that was open and on entering noticed it was a gay bar. Oh well, what the hell; we were thirsty.

    It was a gay nightclub and indeed there were same-sex couples dancing. We ordered our drinks and sat down, soon to be approached by a couple of men who asked us if we wanted to dance. I thought quickly and replied "Thank you, but we are not gay" (I could have said 'straight', but that might have implied they were 'bent'.)

    Having shown that we were not judgemental, we got on fine. They asked us where we were from and then spent some time talking about music: the barman let me rifle through the collection of LPs they had there to play.

    I've also been in a gay bar in Cuba, and again was unmolested and treated with courtesy. I find if you accept people how you find them, and they reciprocate everything there is no trouble at all.
