Cheeky Kristian Looking Down on Renters (Open House)

Watching this right now. Asking the agent about who was coming to the open day and the agent said he had some people, who are renting at the moment.

Kristian's reponse was "They're renters? Are they the right sort, this IS a high end property?" ... in that snobby voice that really meant "renters? peasants? can they afford this?"

Quite annoying. Clearly out of touch with the STR movement.

    Kristian is an idiot. I'm generally a nice person but I find him ever so punchable.

    Does anybody care? The TV company have their programme made. The vendors have their home spruced up. It seems win/win all round, except possibly for the audience ...
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Kristin is ambitious. He's fully aware that only two men and a dog watch his program. He is very much a junior property pimp. But one day he aspires to be a fully-fledged property pimp and reach the stellar heights of krusty and phil and get a primetime slot for this sort of garbage.

    Who knows one day he might get there.

    This attitude sucks.

    I experienced it first hand today.

    I work for a property company and one of my tasks today was to go and collect some keys from an EA so I could go and do a recky on a property that incidentally they cant let.

    I walked in jeans, and branded polo shirt ( uniform) Immiediately some 2 bit suited twerp, looked me up & down and siad "you must want lettings"

    Oh how I wish Id been sharp enough to say " hell yeah as If Id buy in this market, youd have to be joking haha" Alas , I didnt.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Doesn't this joker battle it out in the ratings war with Jeremy Kyle, I rest my case. Must be good comedy viewing though at the min.
