Property Snakes and Ladders; 2009

I reckon fc is right - it's more that she wanted to be on the telly, than she wanted to be a developer. She wants to be a presenter like Beeney. It all sounds a bit Single White Female now I think about it. Also, skinny enough to be a model, but not great skin for modelling.

I'm just watching the programme now. This 29 yr old kid in Battersea planning to sell his mid-terrace for £950k is just :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. After the day I've had I need a good laugh and this is just the ticket.

I know whatever else you say about the girl she isn't fat, she is in fact quite slim..

She's very slim. She was thin as a rake in the programme, and 45kg is next to nothing for someone of 5'4. Can't believe all the 'fat' comments, particularly coming from the female posters. Why do they put themselves under so much pressure to look like a skeleton? :huh:

I could understand if people said she's too short to have much success as a model because the industry does prefer much taller women. But she is both very slim to look at and underweight according to the NHS.

In a rapidly rising market, fuelled by cheap and easy credit any idiot can make a quick buck.

The mistake these clowns make is thinking they have some kind of flair for design or "project management" when in fact their weaknesses and lack of ability has been masked by HPI.

They decieve themselves into thinking it was their.skill that delivered the large profits.

Take away HPI and they are revealed as the ignorant chancers that they are.

Watched this on demand today and thought despite ignoring Sarah a fair chunk both houses eneded up looking pretty good.

Its just years of property !!!!!! had fooled these people and their parents that prices only ever rocketed and if you tarted a property up a bit as well you'd deffo be quids in.

Got to say !!!!!! was going on with the girls mum's hair at the end? Shaggy mess with a few curls on top that looked like they still had curlers wedged in :eek:

I was having a chit chat about my sector (clothing) and the whole HPI thing recently with a supplier.

The theme was the price deflation we have had to deal with over the past decade whilst all our costs (particularly costs to trade like premises) just soared upwards for no real reason.

We were thinking how heavenly it must be to cost the items, process the docket and *Voila* 2 months later we have made our original margin plus an added 10% Clothing PI on top for doing nothing at all.
