I think people try and take the p*ss where they can. Where were they from Ton? Reason I ask is that I know there are programmes here on TV with peope trying to move aboard and the estate agents sometimes recommend offering really low prices because many of the people wanting to sell are desperate (because they realise they can't quite afford it after all) so will take low money vs no money...
But equally many of these programmes are a few years old and on repeat and I suspect that some folks watching them don't realise that
Ton, it is true what Ria says about those TV programmes, but it is also a fact that with economies flatlining people are after as much as they can get for as little money as possible. (((Ton)))
