    TV's Location, Location, Location star Phil Spencer's firm 'going under'. He has started laying off staff amid fears it could go under. Garrington home finders days are numbered, couldn't do a link. :confused:

    Thats a shame as he has always come across as a genuine guy. :(
    Also he has helped many people get good delas over the years.

    I actually like the guy. Its his fat sidekick I cant stand. Anyone who goes on TV and calls a paltry 5% off asking gunning for a bargain is thick as two short planks. At least Phil put in a good 25% off offer on one show.

    Ex forces (boot neck) I believe.

    I agree. I can't see why everyone hates him so much.

    Apparently, 'Relocation, Relocation, Relocation' is being re-launched as 'Repossession, Repossession, Repossession'.

    Poor thing. Let's blame that female dog Kirsty instead :rolleyes:

    I beg to differ. The best defence for Phil is that he has never tried to pretend that he is anything other than a likeable dodgy geezer on the make.

    Now Kirsty is an FHM pin-up!

    Pays the bills I guess.
