Mercenary

[poliphilo]

We had two estate agents come round to price the house.  One was big and smiley and talked about cricket and made a fuss of the bun and the other gave us an estimate that was £10,000 higher.

You can buy a lot of cricket-talk and bunny-fussing for £10,000.

We gave big and smiley two lemon geranium cuttings as a consolation prize.

It's amazing how this house has rocketed in value. We put it on the market for £40,000 about ten years ago and no-one wanted it. Now we're told we can ask £150,000 and people will be flocking to buy.
