Relocation, Relocation is back -who feels sick ?

I was on about the contestants.

But if I had kids like the presenters I'd definitely spend it.

Coming soon to a channel near you….

Repossession! Repossession!

This will be a unique insight in to the lives of camp interior designers, scum property developers, rouge builders, and evil bankers now, as our cameras follow their everyday life in this unique climate.

We show how their cocky optimism that they have displayed over the past decade has mysteriously disappeared as their houses are repossessed and they are flung out on to the streets to join dole queues across the U.K.

We take the ‘know it all presenters’ of the past in to major high streets to be publicly ridiculed at just how wrong they actually were, and make them do community service in an effort to repay their debt back to the masses they have helped land in debt.

We invite all those couples who appeared on telly just to tell the country how much they would be investing on their next property back, as we watch arguments, divorce and poverty hit them hard.

Watch, out & tune in to Repossession!, Repossession!

A man/woman after my own heart.

I am getting a sudden feeling that the producers are deliberately choosing people who make Kirsty and Phil look prudent and savvy. And by having buyers completely out of touch, it helps to reinstate their credibility and the programme continuing for Channel 4. Cynical I know!:D

Could perhaps be a reaction to the backlash they got in some quarters last year, for helping to fuel the property boom and reckless spending over the years.....not that for a moment I thought they were ever responsible. But some people always need to look for an excuse.

It remains to be seen whether you're right, but I'm sure they used personality profiling to choose nutters for Beeny's programme. Let's face it, they are more entertaining.

If reality TV is too real, the viewers may fiddle with the remote. Just imagine......

Kirsty: Well, what do you think?

Sane participant: You've shown us four properties, all of them probably as good as we're likely to find in our search area. Weighing up all the factors for & against the two we like most, we think Property B is the best. We'd like to offer £245k for it. We might go to £255k if pushed, but above that we'd prefer to walk away.

Yawn!

That couple couldn't make a decision.

Hard you must be joking. I sailed through mine without even bothering to go to the classes, I just did a few question practice sessions and turned up, and still got betwen 70 and 90 % in them all. I have qualified, not just part qualified.

Sorry I bow down to your superior intellect. Obviously a very dedicated man, not turning up to classes and all.
In my sister's cohort, almost everyone has a 1st class degree and at least quite clever, and there is a huge failure rate.
My father is also a chartered accountant and he's hardly stupid either and he also worked hard for them and thought they were pretty difficult.

Seriously, I am not at all surprised that you haven't got a great salary but think you are entitled to one. Partly due to the fact you come across as exceedingly arrogant, and partly due to the fact that you give off an air of laziness.

Come on, this pair were a couple of clueless idiots.

Nobody needed to do anything to make them look like it.

They had no idea what they wanted, they had little constructive to say, they flipped from one extreme to another, she just kept on smiling saying it's not right or I can see myself living here.

I think she might need some psychological help.
I'm surprised they got on the show.

I see you know very little of how television editing works then. They were shown for about 15 mins of the program, I bet that was 6 - 10 hours of filming. I'd like to film you for 10 hours and edit that into 15 mins, I bet I would make you look an idiot as well.

My old boy worked his arZe off for 40 odd years and doesn't command a massive salary as a self employed painter & decorator, so that's rubbish.

I didn't say that all people who work hard get massive salaries, you are putting words in to people's mouths. But there are a lot of jobs in this life where you roll in to work at 9am, have your half hour lunch break, clock watch till 5, at which point you go home, and forget all about work. You don't ever try for promotion, you don't go for extra training. It's just about putting food on your family's plates. Which is great, and absolutely fine for people who are satisfied with that. However, there are other people who go above and beyond, training for decades, working every waking hour, sacrificing family life for studying, travelling with work, pulling all-nighters at work etc. That is a "balance" (or lack of it) that some people are willing to have. In return, many of these people get a higher salary. In essence, it's not an average job, and they don't get an average wage.

Like I said before my OH works very hard as a police officer, and he works long, antisocial hours. We only have one day every 6 weeks where we are off work together. But he doesn't earn a massive salary either. His reward is love of his job.

If you can love your job, AND get a massive salary, then in my eyes that's a pretty good predicament to be in.

I'm worth in excess of £1.5m net. I'm semi-retired, ie I'm a LL and developer.

I was on £100k plus package 6 years ago, before I got bored of all the B*llSH*t arZe kissing, jobs for the boys, uuuming and ahhing, making something easy appear difficult, etc, etc.

In the last 2 years I have increased my net worth by around £350K

Obviously staying at home, and doing up my house at the time was a better than going to classes on my study day (being bored sillly going through things that should have taken 30 minutes for 2 hours), as I beat everyone in the class by miles, and got marks that would have put me in the top few worldwide. :money:

If you have the knack for it it's a piece of p*ss.

Sorting out this sort of Sh*T when you have loads of your own cash is on the line, is hard work and difficult, doing some consultancy/accountancy in twice the time required, and the systems do most of the grind, isn't.

I worked in a chartered accountants when I was 15 doing full cash/bank recs, trial bal, balance sheet, and full P&L's, from just the last years accounts and a load of receipts in a bag. I did 3 weeks work exp, then he asked me to stay on for the duration of the summer, and any other spare time I had.
