I blogged enthusiastically a while ago about Barratt Homes dishing out free beer at viewings.
Let me now take the opportunity to raise a glass (or three) to Ludlow Thompson for their splendid Good Pubs Rental List – in ma hones opinun (hic) … iz a brillen idea.
It’s not, let me hasten to add, that they’re [...]

Cadbury’s recently bucked the trend of most other businesses when they announced their profits were up by 11 per cent over the last quarter.
There’s got to be a connection between that and the general gloom that’s going around, surely?
We might not be able to heat our homes anymore but goddammit, we can still afford the [...]

The brilliant Bird & Fortune explain the credit crunch…
Bird: … all the milk is standing around and gets rancid and hardens, and then when you get hard milk what do you get?
Fortune: Cheese.
Bird: No, no, no, no, no. It’s more like a jelly. It wobbles, you see.
And at this point the man in the [...]

Mervyn King, top banana at the Bank of England, hit the headlines today because he dared to utter the ‘R’ word – recession.
I like Merv. His press appearances at the Bank of England’s Quarterly Cure For Insomnia have always been enlivened by his intellectual sophistication and sly sense of humour.
He seems like a really good [...]

I’ve been looking at pictures of the Kingsway Exchange bunker complex … which has just come on the market … and I can’t shake off an overwhelming sense of dread and panic.
Maybe it’s because to my eyes those long yawning corridors look like something from the spaceship in Alien.
You just know that if you ever [...]

It’s official: Glasgow is great. The Dear Green Place has only gone and made it into the Lonely Planet’s Top Ten list of best cities for visitors.
Not only that but it was the sole UK city to be included. Even better, it beat Edinburgh! Bring it on.
Of course, this news comes as no surprise to [...]

Not that I want to blow our own trumpet (toot-toot!) but it seems the good people (person?) over at the Property Owl Blog have some kind words to say about how engaging our humble blog is:
“Findaproperty.com rightly identified this area recently and now produce a good and interesting blog, which is aimed more at the [...]

In honour of their 10th birthday Google are offering their earliest searchable database from 2001. (So what happened to the 1998-2000 databases eh? Did the cleaner throw them out?)
Anyway, I did a search for ‘FindaProperty.com’ just to see, curious like, and my! How we’ve grown!
Way back in the day, we had a mere 26,158 properties [...]

Here at Winging It, we’re all big fans of Charlie Brooker, the highly amusing Guardian columnist.
We also love Big Brother.  Okay, okay, that’s actually just me; the others have more refined tastes, if you overlook their unshakeable devotion to Kevin McCloud.
So it was a happy day – for me, anyway – when I read that Charlie, [...]

What would happen if the head honchos at our high street banks had to pitch to the fire-breathers on Dragons’ Den?
iBallTv reckon it would run like this …funny, sharp, and all too true…
