    She was calling him !!!!!! at the end... or it sounded like it.

    Plus he's going to go and live somewhere sunny and fun. Maybe I'm the muppet sitting in watching him :confused:

    What happened to the Brighton guy? I thought they were going back to revisit?

    Feeling ripped off, basically a repeat. And a bloke called !!!!!!?

    Sheesh - we all know an amateur developer who has got burnt in this market. Pickles - give Sarah a ring will you? She'll love that gravel drive.

    Gareth

    Spent £136k
    Wants: £385k
    Agents: £345k, £350k, £400k
    Average £365k, £140k+ profit
    Put on market at £415k
    He got full asking. £194k profit before tax.

    These amateur muppets. When will they learn that making a quick buck from property is pretty much impossible. Give me a slow-yielding government 2% bond any day of the week. Ohhhhh yeah.

    That was cheap TV - more or less a repeat - what a fraud.
