Why do you think this is ridiculous?

besides maybe highlighting some bad grammar, what's the point of this thread?

Ja dude. Insult all you want, but this thread is like tits without nipples. Pointless.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah...

Ridiculous would be like trying to sell a house in Hillcrest and stating one of its defining features is distant Sea Views (for all the non-Durban ppl, Hillcrest is a good 30kms from the sea in Durban)

Yeah. What exactly is so ridiculous about that listing other than the omission (which would not be picked up by most spell checkers)?
I've seen on most boards.
And what does the EAB have to do with a over-eager estate agent's typo?

I've seen on most boards.

Ok. Ok. I admit, that was done on purpose - to bait the grammar nazi's.

No one pick up that the garden flat has no garden?

You need to understand Estate Agent Speak.
Perfect for Student - Renovated garage with the garage door still fitted.
Bachelor Flat - Renovated garage with the garage door replaced with a wall
Granny/Garden flat - see Bachelor Flat, but with a section of paving or ground outside that the owner can't use.
Fixer-upper - Had tenants in that ran a tik lab that blew a hole in the roof.
Quant - any of the above, but so small the toilet has a showerhead fitted over it..

And - yes. I can joke about Estate Agents - I'm married to one. They can find a photo angle that would make a fat facebook selfie feel inadequate.
