I shan't venture any more upon the topic. <br /><br />Doctor, it has been my experience that the Determined Young Things on the Real Estate Circuit would merrily kick their own aged mothers out of the way if they thought the price and location were right.

My cover letter to Mr White is a masterwork of grovel and self-promotion (if I do say so myself), grovel and self-promotion out of all proportion to the generally recognised desirability of neon carpet.
