But....there is hope

Look at this dear wee house, I am quite charmed by it. Hope the agent is not a total tit. Am now totally up on the estate agent terms used , so know what to expect. This ad contains the following, which I will interpret for you.

'Very good decorative order throughout'.....means crap wallpaper and carpets

'Front aspect sash windows'....no double glazing

Victorian style radiators'.... have not worked since Victoria was on the throne

Off road parking'.....your front garden is tarmacked

'Close to local shops'....smell the fish and chips

'Luxury fitted kitchen'...has a nice stove.

The phrase I like very much is 'keen to sell' ...means negotiable

And wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles, 2 bathrooms.

Not that I am cynical or anything.

Hope they take the statues away with them.
