I wonder if they will be selling off those minis cheap?
Foxtons, the London estate agency whose fleet of liveried Minis were synonymous with the property boom, has breached its banking covenants and its UK private equity backer has ruled out a bailout of the business.
I'm not keen on the Minis but maybe a beer fridge.0 -
I would so love it if they went bust

Here is a true story. A friend visited me last year who lives in a very rural location in the North. As we passed Foxtons on Chiswick High Rd (a fine example) he commented 'that looks like a cool bar'! No word of a lie.
Without a car I was a 'captive' buyer being driven round by them; they used to take me to different flats to view than we had agreed to see. They told me I couldn't afford to buy in the development I wanted to, so I joined the residents Google group and bought one privately.
a rival estate agency opened up opposite foxtons on balham high road about six months ago, they copied the stupid foxtons image and had a ridiculous beer fridge taking up about a quarter of the office floor space. that office closed within a couple of months. hopefully foxtons will go the same way.0 -

Not true. They also require hairgel.'Never keep up with Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper.' Quentin Crisp0 -
