Squatnow's cynicism is well placed. Dealing with an estate agent is like dealing with a wasp. You feel the pain of their sting very quickly. Financial advisors are like mosquitoes. They bury their probosis into you but you feel no pain. Years later you discover that the pension or endowment policy they arranged for you is about as desirable as malaria or sleeping sickness.

Sorry to hear you have it - hope it's not too bad....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
