We all know that Estate Agents are capable of Orwellian Doublespeak that would make Oceania’s Ministry of Truth wince and it’s was good to see that skills of ‘MiniTru’ lives on. Just round the corner from where I live is what is reputed to be one of the Henman (as in Tim) family homes, which is now up for sale. It’s a grand old pile that’s had a lot of work done recently and is on the market for the thick end of £4 million. Now I know if the Estate Agent is probably going to get a tasty 2% for doing the square root of sod all they feel honour bound to do something even if it’s just taking a few photos and sticking a sign up outside. But the sign is interesting as it claims the house is able to provide “16th Century Contemporary Living”. Now surely you can have “16th Century Living” or “Contemporary Living” but not both, unless of course you’re in the 16th Century which even the most cretinous of Estate Agents will realise we’re not. Oh hang on...
