Poor Man About Town

BBC4 has this terrible programme called 'Living with the future' - this week's episode focussed on a (wait for it) a fucking barn conversion, the berk presenting this assured that it was not just any barn conversion with all the "chintzy" things. No we were told that the barn makes good use of light and minimalism (eek! - if I hear that word again, I'll scream). Heard it again "why are you drawn to the minimalism" the berk asked the owner. "Light and symetrical shapes" oh fuck. The interior of the barn was like your local health centre with bad acoustics - the sound of brats reverberating. The brats did more talking than the owner. The mother's bedroom looked like the sort of place in which you would not want to die. "The simple stone bath and sink are stunning"

I thought BBC 2 was to channel to deal with this shit.
