House hunting

Whilst I can currently afford a slightly cramped shoebox in the London environs, I have started to look around. Circumstances, y’know.

Interesting reading through the code once again:

“Well proportioned” == tiny.
“Delightful” == shit.
“Light and airy” == small, dark and cramped. Has a window, somewhere.
“…moments from the amenities of…” Miles. From. Everything.
“…on a popular residential road…” Miles. From. Everything.
“Well located…” == located, if not on, then adjacent to a busy railway track and/or motorway.

Cynical? Moi?

Can’t believe Foxton’s are still doing well after that BBC thing…
