House Crash - Surrey

Mail: Drunk Estate Agent Wrecks the Home his Firm was Selling

"After a heavy drinking session, Joseph Young, 23, collected the keys to the £650,000 house from his office so he and two friends could continue to party. Once inside, the trainee estate agent and friend ripped out door frames and smashed chairs, statues and picture frames. They poured Tipp-Ex fluid over duvets and damaged a vintage car in the garage...".

I think this young lad justs didn't understand that his coworkers were speaking metaphorically when they said that they had "trashed the housing market" in the noughties...

Yeah @7. Jacqui Smith can referee in her stab jacket when she's "stepped down" and bored of pay-per-views.
