Mekong Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Is it just me or does anyone else find the incesent barrage of Ads by Profitable Plots[color:red]You Too Can Own Land In UK[/color]slightly annoying? Not that I watch much TV, usualy just the English Football Programmes, every fucking ad break Profitable Plots, the wankers even sponsor "Goal of the Week" but getting asian families grinning in my facing [color:red]I Too Bought Land in England[/color] does get rather annoying since [color:red]I CANT OWN FUCKING LAND IN THAILAND ![/color] So when I read This Article earlier I had a little chuckle to myself.

Mekong Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Nice! Like they did in the USA years ago...sold swamp land (which remains swamp land today) as housing developments. In Thailand they cut their losses develop on it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhumvit Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Note it's Indians ripping off other Indians. This is a long standing scam. Agricultural land can be bought for about £3k an acre. It's then subdivided up into dozens of plots and each sold for a small fee. No way to get planning permission but fools hang onto these plots hoping that the moratorium on new build on green belt will change and that prices for their "building plot" will suddenly sky rocket. Dickheads. :smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have noticed a change in the Ads, it is now "Buy PP Land" (Profitable Plots) and not UK Land. But the Ads are shot in London, do they believe people are that gullible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 When I was a kid I used to see magazines advertising"half acre ranchettes" for sale in Columbus, New Mexico. It was supposed to be for retirement homes. I've been to Columbus, NM. It's right on the border in an area that is virtually a desert! The usual saying is that it takes at least 40 acres just to graze one cow. Don't ask me what anyone was supposed to do with half an acre of desert in the middle of nowhere. p.s. There is a little town called Las Palomas a few miles to the south on the Mexican side. It looks just like the setting for a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western!
