What is the collective noun for estate agents?

I like a Journey of Giraffes and a Parliament of Owls.


Which would be more fitting? David Attenborough outside Foxton?s windows last night, dressed in jeans, t-shirt, pin-stripe jacket and thick framed glasses to blend into the scenery, giving a commentary of the events inside in his trademark hushed tones.


?And as you can see the bonding ritual is well under way. At first it looks like a random meeting with no apparent purpose or structure but after watching for a while the subtle power struggles within the group become apparent. Note how the alpha males show their seniority by displaying the size and colour of their cuff-links.?


Or Steve Irwin, khakied up and popping his head out from behind the bus shelter outside the window.


?Look at that! I?ve never seen so many in one place before!?


?Now if you look there at the edge of the group leaning against the counter! That?s the most dangerous estate agent known to man! The young, ambitious, female! She a beauty isn?t she?! Pwoah! Crikey! Look at those!?


?Don?t be fooled though! Those nails are razor sharp and have been known to rip a man?s knackers clean off! I?ll wait out here until she?s more relaxed and then I?ll jump on her!?


[ps. That last bit is not overused punctuation. Steve Irwin did in fact end every sentence he ever spoke with an exclamation mark.]

    • Yet another reason why all supermarkets should be thrown down the pit. Along with all their lies and horrid carparks. And their disgraceful treatment and terrible conditioning of their underpaid slaves. And their horrible antisocial robots who no one can even talk to, which also make their slaves even cheaper. Get rid.   X
    • What are our rights here? An item on the shelf has a price tag and next to it a discounted price if you have a club loyalty card or whatever, the expiry date for the offer is a few days in the future. Clearly you expect to be charged the discounted price because you have a loyalty card. You get to the staffed till, scan your card but the discount for the item in question has not been honoured and you've been charged full price. You tell the staff member but they go ignorant and insist the price is the full price without the discount. You go to point out the label on the shelf but they just ignore it. It was traditional to be charged the price shown on the shelf regardless and then up to the shop to correct it there and then, they don't do that now they just call you a liar. I made a complaint online and was told it was not a staff issue, staff are employed as robots nowadays and self-appointed security guards especially in the express stores. I was told next time to go detective and take photos of all the evidence so feedback can be sent to management. That's more work that what the discount is, what a joke.
    • To me, it seems the survey asks questions about ease of understanding of the SPD rather than consulting the public on opinions on the content... What's the best way of objecting to this change in guidelines? Anyone who has been to any of the consultation events and can provide an update on this?
