Jadoube Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 On the other hand. No piccy but passing through Aldershot saw an advertising hoarding from EA Bridges that blasted in garish colour "Bridges and the Market of Doom" With full themes graphics. "We'll do whatever it takes to sell your property" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 it's been posted before but it's still a classic... I wonder if it's specific to Connells or if every EA in the country has got one but hasn't had the cohones to put it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Seriously though, could that be construed as financial advice? or misleading advertising? Worth a call to trading standards I reckon, it looks like financial advice to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thucydides Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Worth a call to trading standards I reckon, it looks like financial advice to me. If this is real it's really bad form. I know these toerags need to make aliving but conning (mainly) young peole into buying at the top of the market (it's still top, IMO) is pretty disgraceful.

Nicholas Cage Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Saw this on my wanders yesterday. It was in the window of Connels in Malvern: Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning: I was much further out than you thought And not waving but drowning. Poor chap, he always loved larking And now he's dead It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way, They said. Oh, no no no, it was too cold always (Still the dead one lay moaning) I was much too far out all my life And not waving but drowning.

Dave Spart Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Are they sure? Perhaps they mean "It really is the best time to buy . . . . a one way ticket outta here!" Edited July 14, 2008 by Dave Spart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGaz Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Saw this on my wanders yesterday. It was in the window of Connels in Malvern: This is a real poster??????????? I've seen this before but I thought it was something that had been photoshopped for a joke. I am speechless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderpup Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It is real- I saw one in an estate agents in maidenhead a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these toerags need to make aliving but conning (mainly) young peole into buying at the top of the market (it's still top, IMO) is pretty disgraceful. They don't say when the market will recover, and so the advertising could be seen as 'correct' small print: market may not recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieChuck Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 They don't say when the market will recover, and so the advertising could be seen as 'correct'small print: market may not recover It doesn't specifically offer advice to take a mortgage on either, however the reality is most people need a mortgage. It appears to be quite cleverly worded, however factually wrong it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AteMoose Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) reminds me of an advert in my home town when i was growing up.... 'Buy a house for 50p' window ad was removed after a bloke walked into the EA, put 50p down on the desk and demanded that the EA gives him his house... @jaffa : you might want to remove the photo, your visible as a reflection Edited July 14, 2008 by moosetea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankster Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 One of our local estate agents had 'now is the best time to buy' posters and a special promotion weekend a few weeks ago. It closed down last week, the first in our town to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
