Default Rare Beasts Spotted

I've just met an estate agent acquaintance of mine in my street, with some British prospective buyers in tow! Should I write to The Times like people used to when they heard the first cuckoo of Spring?

I hope you gave them some good directions to where they were looking for

Are you sure? we have had false sightings before...it turned out to be a flock of Norwegians with ManU scarves.

These rare breads have either spread further a field or have started to breed as they've also been spotted here!

An estate agent colleague mentioned that he had two viewings the other day

Oh wonder if they're related to the bank that DIDN'T pay bonuses for failure (RBS and Lloyds)

I happen to know some of the people concerned, even the typists were driving around in Mercedes', although the top people at CAM preferred BMW's.

The local mayor became a millionaire, in fact all of them did. They've ditched the Armani suits now and most have moved inland or abroad.

I wouldn't have given Power of Attorney to my dog, and he's as honest as the day is long.

No football scarves or shirts (or even tattoos/shaven heads/visible piercings) in evidence with this family, I'm glad to say - they looked fairly harmless on my brief sighting!

We just smiled and said hello (didn't want to put them off, after all!)

Strange times - apparently things are taking off in London. Maybe this is starting to ripple out?
