The useful bit of the article - The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) says on its website that “in reality there is no such thing as a ‘down valuation’. What is being described is the difference between worth (to the individual buyer/seller) and market value”.

My elderly father had one of those early promotional mobile phone deals where it was just £10 for the phone and all calls for life.

Oh yes. Nodding and saying "yep" at the end of nearly every sentence. Just wish I'd gained the understanding many, many years ago.

Having seen boys in Holland wearing their designer-waist-banded underwear under their swimming shorts, the French rule does make sense. As long as you know and take budgie smugglers with you.
