Who can believe another year has passed

It all seems to go so fast

But then looking back to Jan 208

Little did we know of our fate

Yes, in Jan I think we would all have to agree

That sales were not coming in quite so frequently

But we thought that as 2008 progressed

We would see the sales number at their best  – but currency what a pest!

Disaster as Sterling dropped its rate

Made all our clients want to sit and wait

No matter what ideas we have had

They just replied – not while things are this bad – so sad

My great big baby Latitudes with its 23 staff

Had had to reduce to less than half

My heart and my soul went into building the best

French property company – a few cuts above the rest

When the worst is over this company will show

Our superb service, selection and how much we know

I know it is hard and soul destroying

To call people each day who find you a little annoying

But the time will come when they’re ready to buy

And it will have paid off that you phoned to say Hi

Lets hope that this market picks up very soon

And the press and TV shows sing a different tune

Prices are reduced, there’s bargains to be had

A capital gain in the making can be had

We know we were right when we told them to buy

That 1.35 might be the all time high

So we have the last laugh as they would now agree

They will soon have to buy at 1.03
