I could never imagine being such a crybaby in public like this. But what's even more disturbing are all his fans encouraging his tantrum. He's probably going to do this again since he got such a 'positive' response from his senile fan club.

I thought that too re price of Anna and Philip house, it's in Normandy if I recollect so perhaps that area more affulent than say where the HMN is situated. Did they pay one million or over one million for it whereas others seem to pay between 300 to around 600K for their heaps? Either way I am amazed when they say the cost when they are introduced in their segments on ETTCDIY. People here too who would know more than me especially re property like the run down chateaus, that you need minimum the same as what you paid for the house to cover the renovations if not more. Why anyone would take such a project on without funds or a business plan for the premises long term astounds me.
It was on C4 ETTCDIY
I’m weak. If you think it’s worth another try then I’m going to give it a go too
FOMO !
@NorrisCS 900k. They put 450k 'life savings' in plus 450k bank loan. It is near Honfleur, Deauville etc. and just two hours from Paris. So they will catch the weekend crowd potentially. Covid permitting... I looked at the room prices on their website. Astronomical.
Given the number of new members who have arrived here since Moaning Michael's vlog, he seem to have "done a Brenda" and scored a massive home goal. So many new posters saying that they were glad to find a place where they could question and complain. Wouldn't you think he'd have take a lesson from DB? All points to this being a knee-jerk reaction to being called out on his failure to post.
Indeed. So let's summarise: a fake Christmas dinner to make the punters happy; a fake dead granny to make the unhappy punters happy; and then a bleedingly obvious oh woe is me post to explain his absence to the punters who aren't happy again which will make them all forget the accidental granny post. Can't wait to see what happens next.
SJ didn't think about a business plan or finances because her parents paid for everything well into her adulthood. She was allowed, perhaps even encouraged, to live in her own fantasy world and let others take care of business. I still don't think she has a sound business plan. She just flits from one dumb ass thing to the next. I really think the whole lake situation sums it up pretty well. She panicked instead of researching and hiring an attorney like almost anyone else would have. Now she's got this incredible, complex and very expensive issue to restore the lake. I'm sure there are many of her panicked and slapdash fixes that will end up costing a fortune in the long run. She just isn't practical! I would definitely fix the outside of the chateau's exterior as it is the first thing you see when you drive up. That crumbling cement is hideous. Who cares what the double-face silk brocade bed curtains look like when the damn house is falling down around you and you're freezing your ass off.
My goodness. You’re basically insulting just about everyone in your post. Are you sure you’re amongst only classy people here? SMDH
Well it's true. All you have to do is look at her idiot stans and how they fan all over her for what???? As I've stated before it's beyond cringe.
Hi, I'm new to this site. I joined after watching Michael's whining YT vido. I feel that MP really needs a shot of reality in his life. People work. They then rent or buy themselves a home or project that they then carry on working to renovate/decorate to their tastes. They don't make a couple of YT videos and expect the world and his dog to support him in his project while he basically does nothing more than a little bit of filming whilst his senior father and his friend (Sean) do all the work on his renovation. Its obvious that Mick is a grafter but he's got his own property to graft on which I'm sure would give him more than enough work at his time of life. Michael should be ashamed of himself.Great post this
Originally I thought Michael was a fun person with a bit of get up and go. It slowly dawned on me that all he was doing was money grabbing from total strangers, so that he could carry on pleasing himself. His videos have become more and more boring and the amount of drone shooting (paid for by his adoring public) is monotonous. But his begging for me and more money has become more and more noticable. He wasn't memorable from ETTCDIY and it was only CD's videos that had brought him to my attention. The more of his YT videos that I have watched the more amazed I have become at his blatant begging for money and now even plates (at Christmas), I now find myself watching them just to see what he's begging for next, although I no longer watch the adverts.
He was employed by the lovely Angel to paint/draw a design that she had huge input into on the initial design. If he wanted to make an income from any upcoming revenues, this was the time when he should have voiced his expectations. It seems to me that the "boy" is peeved that someone is making money from something that he was paid to do and is now not satisfied with getting money for nothing just from his YT, Patreon and GoFundMe sites, he is fuming that he has been missing out on extra money. If I worked for Mr Ford and designed a car that I was paid to design, I would hardly expect Mr Ford to give me a cut of every car that was sold and call that car after me.
As to the rest of the Petherick family: poor Gwendolyne, the whole family has taken over her space when she was vulnerably emotional from the loss of her mother. Yeah, Mick's a grafter but they do have their own place so why have they now taken over the other cottage. Where does Sadie and her daughter and boyfriend/partner live? In the Chateau? Billy does do some work, but he doesn't really seem to give any support/affection to Gwendolyne. He's too busy with his buddies, doing god knows what. The poor woman looks lost and lonely most of the time while the leeches have just taken over.
After MP's performance on Friday, showing himself to be stressed and depressed from all of the negative/nasty comments on here about him, he seemed to perk up on the Petherick video about holes. If he doesn't want to receive negative comments, I guess he's in the wrong game. You have to take the bad with the good. Another shot or reality is needed there. I do wonder why there are so many people who are prepared to pay for him to live this wasteful, playful, extravagant lifestyle - one has to wonder how empty their lifes are?
Just had to get this off my chest. I'm enjoying the site. Its nice to have somewhere where people appreciate the shows I enjoy and where we can have an honest discussion, rather than the sickeningly sycophantic twaddle that is seen on YT comments.
Darling, I'm just poking fun at people! That's why I'm here. If you want to take what I say personally, well, that's up to you. This is just idle gossip nothing more.
The Chateau is owned by three people not just SJ or her family ( mother).
It is an entity and in no way should any of the owners individual hearsay wealth have any bearing on the operation or restoration of the Chateau. Up until Patreon I would imagine that development and maintenance costs would have to be shouldered equally by all owners. Getting people to agree is notoriously difficult and everyone has different rent calls on their resources. The donated Patreon money has been designated as solely for use for the chateau under the terms agreed with the French Tax Revenue Dept. Anyone who is familiar with the French tax department will know that they are very, very assiduous taskmasters
If anyone deserves some money it’s the Montmagner couple. They work their assess off! I’m worried for them too. That roof repair Bill might sink them yet.
She is NOT restoring a chateau, she's over decorating it, buying astronomically priced fabrics etc. AND refurbishing her B&B with new mattresses, linens and who knows what else. B&B that I'm sure, she might not run again, because why bother running a B&B when you have fools financing all your crazy ideas, and free labor from volunteers to clean up your
and cook for you and your entourage, while accumulating and hoarding piles of more I hope those towers and attics that have been abandoned for ages, don't end up crumbling down on someone's head.
And now she wants to create a garden more ambitious than Versailles, worthy of a "grand chateau".
This woman lives in Fantasyland, and for now, has the funds to turn all her dreams into reality. Just wait till the money faucet starts running dry, she's gonna find herself in debt with 100 unfinished projects.
And by the way, what the hell is that skinny boy Phillip doing there, glued to her 24/7? Weird. In so many ways.
(OK done, for now
)
Maybe Anna and Philipp felt unable to say no to SJ , taking part in the Come dine with me because of being part of Ettc diy?
I have had a look at The Facebook page, beautiful renovations and seems still very close to her former employer Balmain ? model photo shoot looks very sophisticated . Amazing what they have achieved in less than 2 years.
Anna admits to liking vintage furniture .... I just don’t see them fillling the place with tons of old tat.
Patreon.... not sure , but Philipp is a film maker so should have no problem providing high quality content . I won’t be contributing .
There was lots of grey contour used on them too.
Skinny Boy is being a mooch! He is such a bleep for the camera, always putting his gap tooth grin in the camera. He reminds me of that other camera bleep, Tomaz. Once P leaves the chateau, if he ever does, he will just be another nobody with a lame YT station and nothing interesting to say. I just wonder where he gets his money from. Obviously he doesn't work for a living and now he's become a porcelain piggy at the china factory shops. I think he's hoping that SJ will let him build his own little apartment at the chateau so that he doesn't have to deal with the big scary world out there where the rest of live.She is NOT restoring a chateau, she's over decorating it, buying astronomically priced fabrics etc. AND refurbishing her B&B with new mattresses, linens and who knows what else.

You’re right, it is at least the same amount again as the purchase price To renovate...properly!.
But anyone who believes that these people have no idea of the costs are kidding themselves. Of course they know...it’s all an act. Here , when a house is put up for sale, the seller has to provide a report which notes the condition and age of certain things , think it includes safety reports too....the report has a certain lifespan but certainly is designed to last a while and is then shared with potential buyers. So in effect it’s a little bit like a pre purchase survey but maybe not quite as detailed. And...of course a buyer has the option to pay for an independent surveyor and get indicative quotes for any repairs etc...so in theory a buyer should never get caught out
I think the ones on tv don’t always want to divulge their budgets and spending levels to all and sundry in the world of social media or whatever, perhaps for fear of being judged to critisised so they pretend they have a low or non existent budget and that they’re slaving away all night doing it themselves
the Honfleur place is in a nice area of Normandy , so will bump up the price as the rest of the department isnt super expensive. I think these were the guys I saw recently struggling to get their top floor family apartment kitted to live in and in one episode he was “struggling” to fit plasterboard and made a bit of a mess of it in places . Then it showed 2 “volunteers “ coming to help...and by the next episode the whole area was fully plastered without explanation or video to show who did it.so again, we‘re expected believe it was a one man job where he struggled on his own....mmmmm

Context dear, context!
Horribly overpriced and over-leveraged, even without dealing with a pandemic. They've achieved an amazing amount, but very financially naive IMO
