10.59 am “Hi. Are you the agent?”
“Yes." “We have been waiting for twenty minutes for you to turn up!”
“The opening time is 11.00am. I will be with you in a minute.” “So I guess we will just have to wait even longer?”
11.01am “OK. Sorry I will just open the house and you can come through.”
“We could have been and gone by now.”
“Just give me a minute.”
11.03am “ Ok. If I could just take your details, name, phone contact and email.”
“You’re not getting our details. We are just the neighbours. We have no intentions of buying. We just want to have a sticky- beak. By the way, you are very rude asking for our personal details.
11.15am “So could I build a block of units on this property.”
“I doubt it. This is a two bedroom semi detached property over 340sqm.”
“So are you telling me I can’t do it! What! Are you on the Council, denying me the ability to build! Saving it for your developer friends, are you?”

12.42pm Phone: “ Hi Jennifer. Listen, It’s the Bronsons, can we bring forward our appraisal meeting to 1.00pm. George, my husband, has got an ingrown toe nail and the doctor will only see him at 2.00pm."
“But we were supposed to meet at 3.00pm.”

“OK. I will see you at 1.00pm.”
