snip question about GD

Dunno, but when my sis and bro' in law contacted Property Ladder,
there
was no fee from the programme makers involved;

Did they have to fill in a questionaire, which I imagine goes something
like this:

1) Are you an arrogant pair of freaks, who can agree on nothing?
2) Do you commit to ignoring all advice when given by a professional?
3) Do you consider your own 'research' (asking two of your freakish
friends and glancing in one estate agents window) to be far superior to
say 15 years experience in the building trade?
4) Are you colour blind?
5) Will you commit to buying a second property wihtout a survey half
way through renovating your first, despite it being a royal **** up on
which you will make no money?
6) Are you 'living the dream'?
7) Will you put your property on the market based on your own
(ludicrously high) estimates rather than listening to the guest estate
agents, who will over value the place anyway because they want lots of
commision?

Answered yes to all questions? We'll be in touch.

Answer no to any and it's bad luck I'm afraid, you're far to likely to
actually do something sensible which makes for terrifically dull
television.

Although answer our bonus question with a 'yes' and you can go on Grand
Designs:

Bonus Question: When you have exhausted all forms of savings,
investments, credit and indeed all fiscal avenues open to you 3/4 of
the way through your build are you able to 'dig a little deeper' or
'look really hard' and magiaclly find another =A350,000?


Of course despite this I still watch the flippin programs...
