Picture of the Week – and it has been some time since we featured the classic ‘man in the mirror’.
But somehow, this one proved irresistible.
On reflection, we think it is the sheer enthusiasm for his subject that comes over – the way the photographer is kneeling, intent on getting the best shot, while completely forgetting the bigger picture.
However, when it comes to Pictures of the Week, this one is a bit of a bargain buy in the manner of buy one get one free.
Indeed, the words are also to be enjoyed.
It is a charactaristic property, which “boats a substansial exension”, not to mention a perfect socail living environment and access to the “ameniaties” in Pontypool.

Apparently the spelling and grammar is coded into the company genetics.
Just got a pop-up box on their website asking
“Would you like to participant in some usability testing and learn more on the cost of selling with Purplebricks?”
You really couldn’t make it up…
Still not vigilant!
The same LPE is probably a sailing enthusiast
“boats a huge kitchen diner,”

It appears that EYE’s “PointOutAnAgentsCrappyErrors” feature is working perfectly – the majority of the multitude of mistakes, and the subject “OOPS!” photo have now been rectified… in a fashion. Just as well for PB that an army of vigilant Agents who actually believe in their industry and strive to improve its’ reputation are prepared to proof-read their often woeful efforts for them in order to raise their standards slightly off the bottom of the chasm. £899 or £89999 – their customers deserve quality.
Still five spelling mistakes though! Sloppy beyond description.
Call it “work in progress”, Mr O’D…
…it’s taken seven years (and counting) to get to this standard of sloppiness.
This is the company’s oldest listed property (according to Zoopla) –
zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/40705090
– complete with spelling and grammatical errors that have apparently gone unchecked since 10 February 2015.
UNCHUFFIN’BELIEVABLE!
(let’s see how long it takes them to correct the listing now…)
Just what I was looking for – somewhere to store all my eves 🙂
Shouldn’t LPE’s be called into question: “Experts”.
Maybe he was on his knees praying the owners wouldn’t notice that he was in fact a random passer-by, employed (self? employed) as a LPE and quickly asked to go and take the property details/photos.
Maybe it was the “Prophet Sdaltaf101″
Needs no explanation other than that this is the whole firm in a nutshell. A disgrace.
Pay peanuts, get Purplebricks! Ahh CONmisery. Obviously got what they paid for! Buy cheap, pay twice!
Vendors are wishing they’d paid peanuts and actually got a monkey instead!
Give a thousand monkeys a thousand typewriters…
…and you might get one decent set of Sales Details.
#CONmisery
I can imagine the sales pitch…
LPE: “Yes, of course, I can get your house on the market within a matter of hours”
Seller: “Wow, that’s amazing – but don’t you need to take pictures etc”?
LPE: Yup, I sure do… watch me work… I’ve got skillzz!”
FFS.
Word up bruz, I is the dog at takin pics and wot not, man-dem will be fallin over demselvez to buy yo crib when i as market it… …Axe-kin price? You chose bro coz you pay me dollar upfront you get me?
The Welsh have a special word for homesickness -“hiraeth”. It includes reflection on the past .
For all those born in the Eastern Valleys it would be stretching it a bit to hankering after “the ameities the town of Pontypool “even if spelled correctly. Long gong are the Viet -Gwent front row which dominated the world rugby stage when Pontypool rugby was at the top of its game filling the town on weekends
The town unfortunately is a sad reflection of its past .The main shopping area littered with help centres, charity shops and redundant pubs
The same LPA even spelled the name of the village wrong on this one Its Fleur de Lys not “Lis”

Is it me or are there 2 for sale signs in breach of planning regs…..
I spotted 21 spelling mistakes. Does the LPE get their dyslexic dog to write up their property descriptions? The vendor must be delighted with how their biggest asset is being described. Seems the great airline supremo Jan Carlzon’s mantra “Coffee stains on our flip trays suggest to our passengers that we do not service our engines properly” has passed the culprit by.
PBs software doesn’t include an automatic spellcheck. Not the best.
Duvet Cover of the Month?
With THAT carpet too?!?!
