He has always been one, from the start. No brainwash needed. One of the most self entitled people I ever came across, which is probably why there was an instant spark when IJ met him.

Not quite the benevolent old man that he appears on screen then!
One of my sons is a local authority councillor. Like most, he gets paid a sessional/attendance allowance and any out of pocket expenses. He has a full time career.
For a number of reasons, not least constituents' accessibility, there is no way anyone could do this public service responsibly, diligently, effectively and efficiently whilst living abroad for any length of time.
The only real life matching attribute would be old, because that he is.
It’s the same as the (terrible) American prank of “cow tipping” except with flies!
Fly-tipping is defined as "the illegal deposit of any waste on to land that does not have a licence to accept it", according to Keep Britain Tidy.
As Percy himself might say, it says more about Percy!

so basically-FANS are OKAY with thumbs up before video plays but not OKAY with thumbs down before the video plays -yep sounds about rightFrom yesterday's CD live chat...
Michael Morrison I honestly believe that YouTube should create a feature that disallows “thumbs down”’s before a video even starts. They’re not legit. That’s just hateful people trolling.
Sandi Foster @Michael Morrison look at all the thumbs up before the video is played... that really offsets any thumbs down
Kimberly @Michael Morrison I've heard that thumbs up or thumbs down doesn't matter to YT. They don't differentiate. It's all engagement and engagement is what matters.
Percy Attfield @Michael Morrison Indeed you are right about thumbs down before it starts
Michael Morrison @Angela Pa I literally think people spend their life waiting for these to be posted so they can do that. So sad. I think the core problem is just jealousy & envy.
Cynthia Lambert @Michael Morrison agreed. Just miserable people trying to ruin it for everybody.
Percy Attfield @Sandi Foster yes from a count by Youtube it doesn't matter ut @Michael Morrison is right about the attitude
Kimberly @Michael Morrison it's no fun to see our favorite creators get thumbs down, but we all know the choice to click that is more about the clicker than the creators.
Michael Morrison @Kimberly very true
Michael Morrison @Percy Attfield it’s judging a persons hard work & content before it’s had a chance to be displayed. It’s like giving an artist a bad review without bothering to go to the gallery. Just irks me
Michael Morrison The chateau is so full of life & progress these days. It’s amazing to watch the evolution over the last year and a half. You couldn’t ask for a finer group of people either @the Chateau Diaries
What was the Chatelaine trying to read on the label in the old wardrobe?? Certainly not what was written ! OMG She really thinks she can tell what she wants to her viewers...
I can not believe she's not able to read what is handwritten on the "plan" they found about the heating system. Maybe the drawning is (very) approximative but the written indications are very clear... And she was only able to understand the word Chapel !!!
I hope Amaury had a look at it.
As for the other plans, we can see more radiators planned but marked with a cross.
Her air of superiority and expertise when she explains to her cousin who haven't yet seen the plans and to Dan who can't read french that the heating engineers made mistakes makes my blood boiling !!
Unbelievable. I see what @Clara Burnett was saying about this woman in her earlier post.
As for the rest of the video... I think we have lost (once again !) our Chatelaine !
Completely hysterical ! I mean... more than usual. I wonder why ? What happened to her ?
BUT I love the way the cousin Amaury laughed at her when singing the intro. Genius !
PS : 69 dislikes (after 16 hours). Not as bad as the Christie's vlogs but not usual for CD channel.

Yes, I just want to go on record and say I do NOT support cow tipping.
(Sounds like a campaign platform! 
)they should but they most definitely won’t - their ”attire” is meant to portray their status in the chateau
My brother is softly spoken, my mum was too. I'm loud like my father lol! You just are or you aren't I guess, no particular reason.
Nice one!
But I suppose in Shattoo circles they call us a Tribulation of Tattlers!
That's an interesting take. I don't hear that. He just sounds like a middle class guy to me.
I’ve thought about that, too. Maybe it’s because we’ve become so accustomed to the over-the-top grifting, projects that start but never finish, and terrible behavior (crying vlogs about poverty after spending months in Spain with rent boys) that when Dan came along, he seems like a “saint” in comparison. He films consistently, works, makes progress, and has a good on-camera presence and personality. I wonder…if we hadn’t been so jaded by the likes of SJ, Teabag, and others, would we be more critical of him?
Still, I don’t think Dan has done anything so egregious…but I’ll be the first to call it out if he does!

For those of you in the U.S. wanting to watch the current season of "Chateau DIY", someone has been putting them on YouTube.
Big debates on CD and Dan's comments section about the reason for a trip in UK and a 2 days stay in London for Dan.
Some even mention some work to do at Steph's flat in London. Who knows...

Mooching around on youtube at 1970s classic pop songs, and realised Tatty reminds a bit of Noosha Fox. Maybe T should embrace that 1970s does 1930s look , as I think it would suit her
I may be wrong but I think he said he was in London for a couple of days so he must have stayed somewhere, I wonder if she asked him to switch the heating on in her flat and stock up the kitchen ready for her and BJJ's arrival? I wouldn't put it past her! It would seem odd to go to London just to film a quick walk around. If he just had a couple of days to fill up, surely he would have gone to see friends or his mum, whom, I guess lives in HampSHIRE!
It depends on the city/town you live in. Its certainly not usually a full time salary, nowhere near. I have a friend who is a councillor. It depends on the local authority you work for. Some pay more than others. You would usually need another job too. You can go on holiday but as you are expected to provide weekly surgeries for people living in your area ( apart from your holidays). I cannot see how anyone can do this while living abroad. You need to be in the area to deal with potential problems. You have to attend council meetings and you are usually asked to attend local events in your ward.
During the pandemic there were Covid restrictions in place and many meetings were done online, most events cancelled. The restrictions were lifted completely a while back, and everything is back to normal so the councillor in France should be back at his post or he's not doing his job properly.
