Does your statement about being loyal to your country, or deserving the mess you’re in apply to all those who emigrated to NZ and are now having problems, it just to Noel Edmonds?

Some of my family have emigrated. One might come back 😀
Other members of the family are immigrants.
Perhaps they should swap around. Oh, that would mean cousins marrying cousins. Perhaps not.

Our family members have been emigrating for centuries, must have itchy feet.

My comment was just about Edmunds. I have no knowledge of others who have emigrated, so can’t comment on them.
As with anything else, there are people who do things correctly, and people who don’t.
Edmunds is one of the latter. I think he and his comments are in danger of giving the UK a bad name.

I realise I'll have to change my username after writing this but here goes. I live just up the road from Noel Edmonds and his cafes and wellness centre. He's had very mixed reviews round here. Having someone trying to be lord of the manor and thinking he can bring some life to Ngatimoti does not go down well around here. Hard working farmers and rural people take a dim view of that sort of thing.
On the face of it he appears to be friendly and affable but he's been known to switch to being a bully and unpleasant.
Its sad to see his wellness centre devastated by the flood tho.
Theres only one good thing to come out of this flood which has caused an enormous amount of damage to a large area, and it will hopefully stop his rich cronies from coming and living here and causing our rates to go up.

I don’t think you need to change your username as it was interesting to hear your account. I’m sure most people agree with you.

I really liked him in his Radio days. He was an excellent DJ and TV presenter. Watched this shows first episode though and thought it was hilarious.

He's got plenty of money and seems to be happy in his new life. I didn't find it particularly entertaining though watching a very much man spending and making money. I'm not bothering with the rest of the series.

It does not compare to Clarksons' Farm.

The trailer put me right off

Not a fan so wouldn’t watch any more NZ you’re welcome to him You got my very hard working son so you got to have some axxx s too

I certainly do, for one!

Never been a fan so won’t watch

I have heard the similar comments as
FARMGRAN made about him, from a lady who knew him from his TV show "Telly Addicts". Apparently obnoxious, rude man, who was not at all friendly to the contestants or other members of the TV crew.

Makes you wonder if his reputation caught up with him?

I never liked him when he was on tv here in the UK. I think he is, as others have said, a show-off, full of himself and totally unbearable. I tried to watch it, but in the first 7 minutes he made several sex-related comments and came over as the prat he clearly is. I couldn’t bear to suffer any more and binned it. What an obnoxious man. He has got even worse since he left UK tv and I have got better things to do with my time than sit through this rubbish. What tv boss authorised this dreadful programme? I hope they got the sack as it’s an embarrassment, even more than that twerp is, and that’s saying something.
Ye gods - I didn’t think tv could get any worse but I was proved wrong!
If he wanted to emigrate, fine, but if he wants to leave the uk, I wish he’d do it properly and stay off our tv screens. How dare he ditch the uk that helped to make him famous, and then start contaminating the tv of another country? Poor New Zealand!

You enjoyed it , then, Crossstitch fan !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can truthfully say that I have never watched a single Noel Edmonds programme in my life.
Just one of those things , nothing that he did ever interested me.
Although I imagine if he met me he would probably think the same about me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I liked things like "Tiswas"

farmgran You certainly don't want Mr Blobby moving in next door! 😯

Has he improved since his association with Mister Blobby?

Well, according to Devon Live, people were thrilled to see the much-loved TV presenter at a venue in Cornwall recently.

I've never met him so couldn't possibly comment!

Nit feeling it hubby likes to watch it. He comes over very self righteous.

I watch it because it's set in glorious NZ and because the whole premise is so weird. He takes his enormous wealth to a very different rural society on the orher side of the world, throws his money at it, and its (very) slowly dawning on him that his plans might be totally inappropriate (on multiple levels). The locals are pretty divided between those who shake their heads disbelievingly and those who eagerly enable the latest ridiculous demand because he pays them so well in an area where many businesses have gone bust already.

Is it a Bad Thing for a hugely wealthy older man to make himself and numerous employees very happy by spend spend spending it like crazy ? While entertaining the locals, and me, in a schadenfreude way.

I thought he had retired in this country until I also saw the trailer. It was enough for me, I would prefer to watch paint dry.

He is 76 and it does not appear he needs the money so why not have a peaceful life?

Because he’s still full of ideas and has a we/I can do it attitude to life, which I love.
Give me him above those who think that life stops at retirement.
That’s one of the reasons he chose NZ.

We watched it. I thought he was 'up himself', crude, self centred, vain and quite frankly a bit odd.

Absolutely!

My thoughts exactly!

He's barmy, isn't he? I used to like his breakfast show in the 70s, but he didn't grow wise with age. He told a cancer patient that his illness was due to a negative attitude and promoted some sort of quack cure for cancer and other serious illness.

Then there was a financial fraud case - I can't remember the detail, but again it left a lot of questions. There was the theme park that went horribly wrong. Blobbyland or similar. And that is all on the back of the poor man who died doing the challenge on his TV show.

I saw him being interviewed on TV about Deal Or No Deal and he said that the power of the mind could influence whether someone had the big money or not, which was a stupid thing to say as it suggested the show was run on dodgy lines. Obviously when the boxes were sealed they couldn't be changed.

He's at best a loose cannon.

Although I have never been a fan of Noel although I am a similar age and do agree that he does like to show off too much. I do agree with his statement that, like everywhere, ‘the UK is not the same country as he remembers’ .
I only watch the programme as my son has lived in NZ since 2005 and I along with my late husband travelled around NZ when over for their wedding.

Say what you like about Clarkson but for all his bluster we have loved Clarksons Farm andI believe he genuinely cares about farmers and the rural community. Yes he's very wealthy too and has a bit of fun with it but also wants farmers whose absolute only source of income is that to get a fair deal.Actually took NE is a totally different type and therefore don't think I will bother watching.

I haven’t watched this. However my son in law was on “Deal or No Deal” years ago and said what a genuinely nice bloke he was.

According to Noel on the program; he was the victim of the fraud case ; it went to court, he was vindicated and the perpetrators forced to pay huge compensation to him.

Since the series was made his entire property has been flooded and he's lost everything.

I used to laugh when the late Steve Wright called him, Mr. Tidy Beard! 😂

I'm exactly the same as you, Gummie.

Watched all episodes as I did like Noel back in the day, from his Radio 1 Breakfast show, Top of the Pops, Swap Shop, Late late Breakfast Show, Noel's House Party, Telly Addicts, Deal or no Deal - plus Christmas morning visits to Children's Hospitals.
All fronted by him and yes, those progs were of an age but I bet we all watched and enjoyed some or all of them but he obviously misses those years in the spotlight and it showed with his showing off to the camera and sexual innuendos.

The area where he lives is absolutely stunning. I would like to have seen more, which perhaps was shown in later episodes.

He has 4 daughters from his second marriage but they werent mentioned at all, he's no doubt a grandfather by now. Current wife Liz (3rd) had her son there who Noel seemed to get on very well with.

And he did look good for 76 but a full head of highlighted hair had a lot to do with that, not new age crystals.
