    One of my favourite UK daytime TV shows is one where middle aged (and older) rich people buy houses in the countryside.

    It’s aimed at right wing, house price obsessed, retired people.

    Every third couple is gay.

    The show always describes them as “lifelong friends”.

    Like, I’ve got friends I’ve known for most of my life. I’ve never considered buying a house in the Cotswolds and moving in with them…

    There’s a UK daytime TV show (Escape to the Country maybe, although there’s seemingly a ton of shows to cater to the UK hobby of obsessing over house prices). I swear, every time I’ve seen it on at work, it’s always “lifelong friends” and a same-sex couple buying.

    Being on in the daytime, it’s clearly aimed at all the Daily Mail reading pensioners. I’ve no idea how they haven’t cottoned on yet. They must all be sitting there thinking it’s perfectly normal that good friends spend £850,000 on a country house together…
