Property Boards - we're almost in 2007 - has it come to this?
Look at this rubbish. Has it come to this? I was walking down one of the back streets in Covent Garden yesterday and saw this Winkworth for-sale sign. The ‘2 bed’ shitty little sub-label attached to the sign really, really winds me up.

If, Mr Winkworth, you are going to elaborate on the property, perhaps you could see your way to also putting a text-for-more-info option?

Or is this outwith your gift?

It really is ridiculous that, in (almost) 2007, I am reduced to having to place an 8k analog phone call to a branch that is SODDING CLOSED WHEN I CALL to get more information, becuase that marketing approach suits the property agent.

It is simply not good enough, especially for a firm with the reputation of Winkworth.

Hellooooooo? Helloo? Mr Estate Agent? Yes, you do know the whole nation is walking around with mobile phones, yes? We don’t all want to wait 12 hours before your branch SODDING OPENS to query the property’s details.

Just ‘doing internet’ isn’t acceptable. Add mobile querying. Get on with it. It’s a total arse having to take a SODDING PICTURE of your sign board so I can remember to call.


Cathartic, that.

Now, is anybody listening? …. hello? 😉
