Newspapers spent the weekend happily presenting the Roy Brooks memorial award to Mike Rogerson Estate Agents of Morpeth.
His description of a house, complete with crumbling handrail, dodgy steps and view of the town car park, was judged to be a worthy winner.
But hold on!
Roy Brooks spoke it like it was. Thus a house on the edge of Regents Park – somewhere where you could hear the friendly howl of the hyena on a still night – had nine rooms ‘all in pretty foul order’.
The problem with the latest contender is that, aside from the odd crack in the wall and a carpet that’s seen better days, it’s actually rather nice. Take a look at some of the interiors.
So, what’s going on?
Apparently, the vendor specified a Roy Brooks style advert, and the agents happily obliged.
The result? Well, it’s a bit of a pretender to the Roy Brooks crown – but in terms of the publicity received and the enjoyment everyone seems to have had, it’s a winner.
And no one seems to have complained to the Property Misdescriptions Act police.

Evening all! I have my handcuffs and whistle at the ready. Unfortunately all the jails are full at present with people stealing loaves of bread, and tins of salmon from Somerfield - so this agent may have a reprieve just for the moment.
Love the same picture twice . . . twice, and the picture down the open toilet. Classy.
