Finally, some good news …
Property slump claims 20% of Rightmove staff
Rightmove, Britain's biggest property website, announced a 20% cut in staff numbers yesterday as it warned the housing slump would last well into next year. The move, part of the portal's plans to cut costs by £5m, came as the British Bankers' Association (BBA) revealed that UK mortgage approvals in September were 57% down on the same month last year. About 60 of Rightmove's 300 staff face redundancy as the company scales back its overseas business in response to dwindling demand.

60 people lose their jobs. Not really good news is it.

I’m not sure why you have a grudge against rightmove. As I understand it, they are not property sellers like EAs – they just advertise stuff. Their website seems pretty good to me.
