Laura Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The National Assoc. of Estate Agents fear that because of the way their members interact with the public they could suffer disproportionately in the coming pandemic. "We have been warned that many of our members are at risk, & it is possible that whole areas could lose their estate agents due to fatalities. If this happens we fear that prices in these areas could surge out of control without our expertise in being to offer a steadying hand. These are difficult times & estate agents are needed to maintain prices at a realistic & affordable level. Our association is in talks with the BMA & they are sympathetic to the idea that our members are essential to the nation & thus should be given priority at doctors surgeries & at all hospitals, whether private or NHS."

macfarlan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Damn. I followed the link too. But deep inside I knew it was a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sorry guys. It was there earlier, so maybe it is being updated? I can't do much about it now as the Ashes highlights obviously come first. I will try to fix the link later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikhail Liebenstein Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Damn.I followed the link too. But deep inside I knew it was a lie. Some of it, the at risk bit, is true. If I get swine flu I'll be straight out making some viewings. Though on second thoughts most EAs probably carry far worse diseases - So might trump me.

R K Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 There's an idea:- Swine flu victims flash mobbing for a 'cough-over' * EAs * Troughing MPs * Banksters * BMW sales offices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salamander Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Nice one But let us not lose sight of the fact that they're very, very important, are EAs. If the Earth were ever in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star goat, or faced some other similar catastrophe, I'm sure that they would all have priority spaces on the 'B' Ark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wren Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It sounds like (and should be) a Daily Mash story One of the most accurate descriptions of the bank bailouts in the USA was a Daily Mash story. Many of us hardly realized that it was a spoof even several paragraphs in. But thanks to Laura for reminding us how vitallly important EAs are to the economy and everybody's well-being. They sound almost on a par with the banksters ("Masters of the Universe") without whom we would have no economy and be still living in the Stone Age.

Tis a shuddering thought that we are their descendants. I suppose if one can spot those that have not evolved, then it is evidence that one has? Talking of which, how does one categorize the mod that decided this thread was 'off-topic'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
