It's probably more likely that she turned it down point-blank!

I agree that Rosemary and especially Miriam were very loud and sometimes quite rude, but usually to each other not the Japanese people. I don't think any of the group was partcularly comfortable beng waited on.

It would have been much more fun to retire to the Florida gated community, IMO.

I'll probably be unpopular for saying this but having seen both episodes I felt embarrassed watching Miriam Margoyles behave in such an undignified way.

She was often rude and demanding and as for the farting......

There are and have been threads on here about growing old disgracefully and now threads about the obesity crisis - well, if I ever need something to bring me up short when thinking about another slice of cake or a chocolate biscuit I think I'll watch last night's episode again.

Miriam and Rosemary made me cringe, waddling around being waited on hand and foot by trim, polite, dignified and attractive Japanese women of the same age.

I noticed Jan Leeming wasn't included in this series. Is that because the producers thought she was too slim, attractive and obviously likes to take care of herself?

hmm
