That program was very scary especially to anyone wanting to sell.

Think it was a good show.
The lady btl'er who invested up north didn't half get her fingers burnt, did feel the tiniest bit sorry for her though, especially with baby in hand.

Except Mr Broderick that was the Tonight programme with Jonathan Maitland and I for one had no sympathy for any of them.

If they had been Arabs they would have bought a wagon load of sand, but only after the guy selling the sand had been given his £8,500 to give them the address of where the sand was being kept!

All a bunch of greedy so and sos who know nothing about property, but congrats to Inside Track who have a brilliant business model.

Yep i didnt feel sorry for them what so ever. How the hell do you make an investment of £140,000 with out even viewing the flat is unbeliveble. When they also said thet paid £8,500 to that company for "inside knowledge" i nearly fell off my chair laughing.
