Top tip - smashed one of your outdoor plant pots? Simply paint one on the wall - no one will ever notice!

Fox have never struck me as the brightest buttons in the box, but to start a description with, "Enjoying far reaching views from the rear...." when the evidence from Street View and Google suggests otherwise, seems the height of folly.

Or am I just grumpy this morning?
If you saw my little backyard
What a pretty spot you'd cry
It's a picture on a sunny summer day
Wiv the turnip tops and cabbages
Wot people doesn't buy
I makes it on a Sunday look all gay
The neighbours' finks I grows 'em
And you'd fancy you're in Kent
Or at Epsom if you gaze into the mews
Its a wonder that the landlord
Doesn't want to raise the rent
Because we've got such nobby, distant views.
Oh it really is a werry pretty garden
And Chingford to the Eastward could be seen
Wiv a ladder and some glasses
You could see the 'Ackney Marshes
If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned and miserable, but I hate stuff like that! If I was the vendor I'd be straight on the phone to the EA to tell them to remove it! There are 3/4 photo's throughout that ad which are pointless, and add no value, other than some misguided attempt at being 'trendy'.
Like I said, maybe I'm just miserable. I'll get off my soap box now!!0 -
Yes, through the poplars, which lose their leaves early in the autumn, but the aerial shot and Street View show that this vista is much impeded for half the year when they're in full leaf.lincroft1710 wrote: »Picture 2 seems to show a view of the distant countryside, possibly North Hill.
But I am probably just grumpy today anyway.0 -

Close up of a tap in use!
Whenever I see these arty close up photos from EA I think that the house must be so !!!! that they are desperate to find things to photo.0 -

And this is what your beautiful new bathroom could look like when your crawling to the bowl after a few too many.
I feel like the EA's making some kind of social comment on the pool of potential buyers in the area."Meow meow meow? Meow meow-meow meow!" - Minkybob0
