Now, let me have all your negatives!
God's teeth - I'm sorry I clicked on the URL, feel like puking now. All those nice Arian looking people in their nice cutsie artificial environment. The girl on horseback can't be true - there would be 15 million covenants against what comes out of the back of the horse.
And what about those old farts in the swimming pool - group swimming every Tuesday? No thanks. It just looks and feels like a place to go and quietly rot - I can hear the zimmer frame wheels squeaking from here - - Sorry, but I intend to wear out, not rust out.
Oh, Lord - save us from the types of people that are attracted to plastic worlds and unreal lifestyles that are insulated from reality. And quite frankly, I've long ago had more than my fill of up and coming bloaty headed yuppies who needed their heads pulled out of their rear ends before you can say 'hello' - - so what maniac would possibly think that I'd ever consider going near a place that would have high concentrations of such devils spawn.
Not that I'm prejudging anyone who would be so devoid of personality to ever want to live in such a tasteless and unimaginative environ. It is, after all, a free country that respects everyone's right to be as bland, featureless, dull, boring, kitsch, tedious and dreary as they like.
I hope I haven't upset anyone. Then again if they are upset - they are probably not someone I would be heartbroken about upsetting anyway.

http://www.mapleham.com/. I should probably put a “Viewer Warning” on it for you – but I’d much sooner see your considered opinion on this development.
You are trying to kill me. Actually, it's my own fault - I ignored your warning and clicked on it. My retinas detatched, my brain atrophied into sludge and my bones decalcified in an instant.
Just before that - there was one moment of joy - a halarious moment: did you notice the 'nice' foto of some dude sitting by an open fire outside (presumably) the club house? The fuel for the fire looks exactly like the stuff that comes out of the horse which was in the Pegasus ad blurbs. I wondered what they did with the horse poo.

It was truly eye-popping. We couldn't get out of there fast enough, back past the immaculate gates to the outside world where there was at least a little bit of dust and long grass and real people with slight imperfections. My friend had warned me in advance that I would be shocked and she was right!
Please.. if I ever get to retirement age and start to lust after something like this, someone do me a favour and belt me over the head with a spade... really hard... :rolleyes:
Hmm. All joking aside; it really is a little disturbing - artificial societies and environs are not sustainable in the broader sense - have a look at what's going on in Dubai now that reality has struck.
I'm in the camp which regard towns and communities as having to exist for real reasons - economic and social. Tinsel and tea with the neighbours only happens because these places defy entropy - - a concept in physics which says that you cant do anything without making a mess - to keep places like this '1950s American Dream' tidy and tickety-boo, then how many slums have to be created to support such a fantasy?
Oh - and as for the spade whacking - could you do similar for me and take me to Dr Lee-Enfield (please aim true, make it clean and quick). On second thoughts - let me join such a community today - - it should only take six months before I'm blackballed and run out of town. It will be a hoot.
