We dont need Robbie round here

Quoted from: http://www.newsandstar.co.uk

'SO Robbie Williams is the latest superstar thought to be casting eager eyes on Cumbrian property? People with his earning power are probably the only ones able to afford to live in the Lake District these days. I don't really know what all the fuss is about. What do any of these stars bring to the table? Precious little. For them our area is a retreat. Somewhere they can hide away from the public whose money keeps them in luxury. It's not as if they are going to become part of a thriving rural community. In fact it's the second homes that are gradually destroying the traditional rural idyll. Sting may have one of his homes in Grasmere. Nicole Kidman once fancied the country life. And now Robbie casts his eye over the Lakes. But as far as I'm concerned, we can manage perfectly well without the rather false image of celebrity they offer.'
