Derby Road in Southampton is up in arms because a company want to make a programme about it being inhabited by immigrants. |

I think they should make a programme about Southall and how it has changed over the last sixty years |

I love Southall. After the grimness of the other suburbs there is this throbbing, glowing, pulsating colourful bit of exuberance. |

We stayed in the cleanest hotel ever when we went to Southall. Next morning we pootled round the shops and found actual fresh dates. Then the most amazing food at the big banqueting rooms for a wedding reception. (Didn't even notice till well into the meal that it didn't include meat). |

They seem to enjoy making programmes about areas where people on benefits and immigrants live. |

Sharron - maybe it was "Made In Chelsea" that was about the lives of the champagne-swilling heirs and heiresses of the Chelsea social set ;-) |

No, it was some time ago, could have been twenty years. It was just so dull it didn't hang on anything else in my head. |

Too many people living it. They wouldn't want to watch. |

I can just imagine Sharron - when I applied for local authority sheltered housing on the advice of my doctor, I am an insulin dependent diabetic with chronic heart disease which have resulted in mobility problems. Despite this and despite medical evidence from several of my consultants, it was unbelievable, the hoops I had to jump through, to convince them why I should be considered for sheltered accommodation, at the end of the day I had to seek the help of my MP and my local councillor. |

I just assume the ones who can live well on benefits must be more clever than I am if they can understand all the rigmarole. |
