You're all correct! Paywall for non-UK IP addresses, limited number of free articles per month. Those using unblock-us or similar to spoof a UK DNS will probably be able to see it without charge.

From the guy listing a $1.8m house (which I hasten to add is many multiples outside of my price range) WHO PUTS THE DESCRIPTION ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE, WELL THATS EASY TO READ ISN'T IT?, to truly awful pictures that are too small to view, it seems that one is ill served for the 5% one lashes out to sell a house.

My favourite example of hyperbolae this week is "Overlooked by the market". Which means, I think, Overpriced/Badly built/poor location/or has some other overwhelming problem with it. What's yours?

(& for the Realtors that post here, I'm sure you are the jewels amongst the general sea of mediocrity. Please don't get offended. You are, at least, more highly regarded than Lawyers & Politicians).

I think you meant "hyperbole" however even that is not consistent with your argument..."hubris" is the concept you are actually describing. An example of hyperbole in these circumstances might be: "A real DIY dream come true". But what do I know. I am scum.
