minor things that make you fume

There's loads of them. They do packages, board and Internet advertising etc for a fixed fee, no commission, just a flat fee.

The only downside if any, is that the house doesn't get advertised in the local free papers
Would be interested to know how many house viewings originate from local paper ads. A small fraction compared to Rightmove, I'd guess.

I'd also hazard a guess that a lot depends on the area that you live in too.

If the house was in an area of high demand, a board outside would do the trick without any other form of advertising.

Where as in an area where that's less desirable, more advertising would be necessary.

There's an area by me, where houses to an extent are deffo sold by word of mouth, to keep families with no visible means of income and large Audi's from moving in !!!!!!

I live in a desirable area, but I live on a backstreet with very little footfall, so I'm not sure a board would be much use for me. Thinking of moving next year so will start my plan of action soon.
 
Solicitors fees
Estate agents fees
Always believe in my lifetime this will change
It's a massive con trick
Most properties are all filed on the internet so searchers aren't required
All they do is sign and countersign

Have a look at the likes of " Purple Bricks " or Sarah Beenys site. They'll give you an idea of the fees and how to go about selling without an estate agent. There are other companies that are cheaper than these two, but they'll give you an idea. If you're areas good, Internet advertising should sell it without it being in an estate agents.
 
Terrible 'Irish music' in the White Star this lunchtime. Out of tune singers with a terrible banjo player - tourists though seemed to like it.
Inadvertently swearing at the end of a job interview.
The hordes of fat people in the city centre wearing RS shirts barely covering their enormous bellies - both sexes.
 
People like this nugget I encountered today. To paint the picture, it was my last delivery of the day, (90 ish today), and to a flat in a posh block that has a security buzzer thing.

The accepted practice for 99% of the residents is to help delivery drivers get access, so their parcel can be delivered if they are out. If that makes sense. So never had a problem getting in, usually.

Anyrate, get out of my van with a large box, as some bloke, suit, tie, youngish, is coming out , so I say to him, "Hi mate, could you hold the door for me please?"

He doesnt. Pushes the door shut.

"We cant have all sorts in there you know", says the plum.

"Sake mate, just trying to do my job here"

"Whatever" he sneers. "You will have to hope they are in wont you, *giggle*"

I punch in the door code that unlocks the door anyrate, jump in the lift as he comes back in, (was going to the bin), and starts to ask me "Er, could you hold the......"

Lift to the second floor, deliver parcel, then send lift to the 8th floor, and bound down the stairs to see him still waiting for it.

"Sorry mate, pressed the wrong floor on the lift, see ya."

tldr, I know.
 

People (OK, women) that can't count to 1 - waiting at a gate to get on a flight, the lady on the counter reminds everyone that they are only allowed one piece of hand-luggage. Of the 12 people in front of me, 10 (all female) start grovelling about on the floor trying to put bags into other bags.
We ain't talking rocket science here, I'm sure everyone gets the same number of warnings via t&c's boarding passes and the like, so why in God's name do they do it.
Breathes into bag - deeply (and there's only one of it)

That's absolutely horrible and I'm sorry you had to deal with such a douche. "We can't have all sorts?" Is he really judging you like that on a whim?
