bottletop Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Saw it this evening. The bit where Kirsty was swanning round a £2million+ flat in london trying the remote control curtain closer, then said "If I lived here I'd be as fat as a pig"...brought a wry smile to my face.

On that basis I can only assume she moved in there a good couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pioneer31 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 surely she should have said "If I lived here I'd be as thin as a pig within a week" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 If you read that linked to page again it states The programme was presented by property experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer. Has that just been edited? Is someone at the BBC reading HousePriceCrash at 10.00 at night...?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echapps Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 So she's poking fun at herself being fat, and also never having studied at University. Can't remember which posh town it was but 55% (or something) are educated to degree level and Krusty quips along the lines of "that wouldn't include me!".
