Review

I have many people look at my house with a view to buying it. Today the guy was an hour late, so I had given up waiting for him, and had a bath and made myself a fruit shake, with some remnants of soft fruit that were getting ready to decompose in my fridge.

He came in and had a quick look round, in the way examining the garden through the window. Then he started squizzing at the floor in the sitting room. He explained he was seeing if he could partition the room from the staircase in order to turn it into another bedroom. Aha! One of those dreaded property investors who want to turn two bedroom house into dwellings for miserable students or weary poor workers. So I said jocularly, for actually I liked this guy, "you gonna become a property millionare" (an idea popularised by tv). No he just wanted to make enough money to get out of this crazy city(london).. and return to his country. Which country? Bulgaria.. His parents had business in a village there. He owned four houses in London. He had blue suede trainers. This man is the future, the lazy English middle classes cannot compete with the desire to escape England.
