(estate agent) Sold signs

[Green Goose]

Surely any party that doesn't tidy up its own rubbish isn't worth your vote next time round?

On a similar vein, anyone who puts a party political poster in their front window has got to be a real dork.

yeah fancy admitting to supporting a political party. Mad!

Ah, so your suggestion that people should deface adverts with potentially defamatory remarks about the business operators being crooks is based on what you are being told by a trainee solicitor (i.e. someone in their 2 year training period?)!

Agents will now have to apply for consent from Wandsworth Council in London to display boards in the town centres of Putney, Balham and Clapham Junction, as well as parts of Lavender Hill. Any agency which erects boards without express consent from the council will be guilty of an offence under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and will be liable for a fine of up to ?2,500 and up to ?250 per day should the offence continue after a first conviction.

Wandsworth Council was awarded the powers to ban boards which are displayed without consent after putting in a request to the secretary of state.

I wonder how many comply? Our block of flats is in private grounds and putting up sales boards is forbidden. Doesn't seem to stop them attaching them to our front gate.

What we have taken to doing is removing them, putting them on the pavement and then calling the agent telling them that we have removed the board they attached to private property without permission and have now reported them to the council for fly tipping.

Potentially a nice little earner for Wandsworth Council.

What Robbin said. Articled clerks don't exist any more.
