    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I can tell by the style, that it was done, most likely, by a baboon!

    I wonder if any of them will recognise the possibility of using such a c0ck-up to their advantage?

    E.g. Scott. Just left 93 High Street where Mr & Mr Smith are anxious to sell up to go to Australia. These absolute morons showed me an offer from a developer for £545K because by knocking the house down, it would create room for a roadway into an extremely lucrative 12 acre plot at the back. They wouldn't sell to him because they absolutely hate the guy. They paid £185K two years ago, and are only interested in getting around £200. So let's get it on the books for that and make a quick 2% commission.

    I suspect they'd sell it easily the next day for £250K - despite the fact that it was only 'worth' £175 and the 'offer' never existed.
