For goodness sake of course they can afford new clothes they are 'loaded'. Its all for the cameras. Amanda has no need to use cast-offs and would give them to the school uniform club for less priveledged children if the cameras were not there. It makes for good viewing for townies, but knowing their real way of life, its quite funny people think this is 'ordinary' life in the Dales. I don't know any farmers who like this programme, but then again I bet quite a few Vets used to cringe at some of the antics on All Creatures Great and Small.
Kate Humbles programme 'escape to the farm' is much more truthfull -I enjoy this programme and she manages to do all her farming in sensible clothing, not a mini skirt in sight ;-)
