I used to enjoy his travel programs but then saw one program about a less mainstream country I'd visited around the same time so knew the geography and how things worked. I travelled there independently and for somewhat longer than his visit and when I travel I don't adhere to the "don't discuss politics" as you often learn a lot about a country talking their politics (though I don't express my views, just ask their's sometimes too directly).

And knowing the country I was decidedly unimpressed with his coverage how superficial his "report". Some of the stuff is presented as really dramatic but for anybody independently visiting is routine and just part of travelling.

Cool story bro.

They never do. I think part of that is because the absolute worst of an area gets sought out to make it look like it's many times worse than it is.

If I believed local media, I'd conclude that where I live (North Shields) is a barren wasteland with less going for it than Gaza.

You. live near the "posh" bit 😂

Came as a bit of a surprise to see what Rick Chasey really looks like... turns out he isn't bald after all.

To counter this, while my good lady was in the town centre yesterday she saw a fight (because a fella had said something in front of the bairns, which was apparently unacceptable but facial rearrangement was fine) and Gregg's get robbed.
