Law is indeed a noble profession.


I put estate agents in the same category as recruitment consultants. Both are necessary evils - you hate them until you need them.


I also know the 80/20 rule of stereotypes apply. It isn't that stereotypes of estate agents are dangerous because they mis-judge the 80%, but because we may mis-judge the 20% exceptions.


If estate agents and recruiters would increase their focus on customer service by about 10 degrees, there would be recast as closer to noble professions, no doubt.

Very nicely put Maurice - and Peckhamboy. Anyway, I am glad that not everyone misconstrued my original points; even H.P took it all rather well.


Of course there are some good estate agents (as with all professions), although there does seem to be a higher percentage of dastardly ones, as Maurice has so eloquently noted!


Anyway, I live in hope. Maybe one day I will meet a decent and compassionate estate agent, instead of either:-


1: a wide boy/geezer type.

2: failed public school boy

3: rather tarty female chavvy type


I am sure H.P is none of the aforementioned. :)

Jingles, you can be hired, used and fired and you'll probably kiss *rse throughout. Like most of us, your life choice is to be either a whore or a benefit recipient.


Come down off your high horse, stop sneering at others and stop perpetuating the myth that lawyers are ignorant smug tw*ts. Some of us are alright.

My sentiments exactly. Your profession is not as holy as you presume. Yes it is regulated and predicated on a particular level of trust and confidence but you typify the ugly underbelly of it with your arrogance. Conveyancing lawyers, personal injury lawyers and matrimonial lawyers are they any better than estate agents?


The point is your attitude does not engender warmth whereas HP does. So however superior you may feel you or your profession is people judge you by your conduct.

I agree with most of what you've said Jingles, but I have to say I know lawyers who would fit in to all of those categories! I also know plenty of lawyers who are in it completely for the money, and have no more scruples than your average estate agent about taking as much money from a client as they possibly can.


I also know lawyers who really want to do good and make a difference... They are the ones who earn ?30k or less.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
