There is one woman who values the houses sometimes: Marijke. I used to work with her. Lovely she was. It's always a surprise when somebody you work with pops up on TV.
Strangely enough, she's popping up on those programmes and the twin sister of somebody else I worked with at the same company used to pop up in those makeover programmes. Debra Veal http://www.cmmol.net/debra_veal.htm - I worked with Debra's sister while she was doing her Atlantic challenge, which is what made her "famous". Her sister would rush out of the office about once a week when her sister phoned her from mid-Atlantic as she was doing her sole Atlantic rowing challenge, phoning her from the tiny boat.0 -

People call me posh when they hear me speak, but I'm poor.

I could mention family/royal associations here, but it's not appropriate.zippygeorgeandben wrote: »You're practically in with celebs then PasturesNew!

But a close relative did end her days living IN the palace of the Spanish royal family recently. And was in their inner circle.
Still makes me poor. Which still sucks. 0 -

My Dad is on the TV and radio from time to time, giving his expert opinion on something or other, and I find it really odd!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
What annoys me about presenters showing potential buyers round TV properties (whether it's Location, Location or Homes in the Sun) is that they go into the room BEFORE the viewers.
Any fool knows you get the viewers to go in first because that makes the room look bigger!0 -

There is no way my Dad is a celebrity, though, he's not on TV because of being in Big Brother / shagging some bimbo / falling out of clubs drunk. He's more the Newsnight / Law in Action kinda chap!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Sorry PN, much as I love you, with your STR fund I'm not buying the "I'm poor" thang!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
