"Genuine reason for sale"

[skotl]

A lot of for sale ads have this phrase, but I think that @jordan1's wins the prize

"Good heavy ladder, had little use. Closed 16ft, fully extended 25ft... £45. Just moved to bungalow so no longer needed."​

(didn't want to pollute Jordan's for-sale thread. but couldn't resist!)

It like the free to good home cliche, they never advertise how much to a bad home.

My favourite is used by estate agents....
"Viewing is highly recommended". Well you're not going to fork out £xxxxxx on a house without going to look at it first are you!!!!

I had the pleasure of visiting Jordan1 when I bought his mig from him. What a lovely guy and what a workshop - a fantastic collection of bikes in various stages of restoration. His wife was lovely too. We didn't have time for a cup of tea but she gave my kids Crunchies.

Good luck in your new home, Mr and Mrs Jordan1. Hope you managed to keep a workshop, J.

I always knew I'd find miss right, I just didn't realise her first name would be always..

We were happy for the first ten years..... Then we met

I haven’t spoken to my wife for 18 months…..I don’t like to interrupt her.

I'm impressed that we've moved from "genuine reason for sale" to variations on the Lez Dawson "Take my wife... please!" theme
