While I despise most property-improvement shows, I do have a soft sport for Kevin McCloud’s Grand Designs which is well written, entertaining, well researched and never boring. But recently I am asking myself how Kevin choses his victims: the houses seem to be getting more modernistic (apart from that ghastly project in which the Addams Family met a Glasgow housing estate) the ladies seem to be getting er, more, rubenesqe, outspoken and challenged by fashion, while the husbands have been more ithyiotic: gasping for financial breath and observing their wives burning the money and driving the project.What does that tell us about Kevin’s tastes (in houses and ladies)?
