You have to see this guy to believe him and appreciate the ability he has to cut the crap from Estate Agenting, or whatever the hell you call it, and get right to the brass-tacks. If the place he's selling you is a dump that's exactly what he'll call it, but on the other hand his humour, honesty and utterly un-PC approach will have you buying it anyway before you realize what's happening. RB's website has to be experienced - not just visited! Oh no you have to sit down for this one, and make sure you have a drink in your hand, cos you'll need it! You can bet that Ralph had a few before he wrote it too the scamp! Who else on Earth could get away with describing a place as 'Smooth as a bishop's ball-bag' or 'Characterful as a vegetarian's fart'? No-one that's who no-one at all! Another recent sales pitch goes like this: 'Heavily used two bedroom terrace house just off the centre of town. Classically designed and then royally rodgered!' Unbelievable! P.S. Ralph gave me a Ralph Bending Extate Agents pen when I last visited yep you guessed it it revealed a nudie Ralph when you turned it upside down! The guy just isn't right in the head! But he's the only estate agent you can shake hands with and not imagine yourself throwing him through a window!
