VacantPossession Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I hope they go spectacularly bankrupt, and that those minis will be sold off for twenty pence at auction and the smarmy spivs running Foxtons repent their ghastly philosophy of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing, and end up in a Buddhist retreat in Finchley living on £12.50 per week, provided they do something useful.

From what I understand, those entering such a place (if they exist - do they in Finchley?) do not see it as a bad thing ... just a late night philosophical point.... and in no way meant to diminish the humour of your post...
