Let’s have a quick look at the highlights.
Much like the hilarities found on Craiglist classifieds websites around the world, our very own online classifieds website, Gumtree, has been known to give us the odd corker from time to time.

I took a double take, nay, a triple take this weekend as I browsed through the property section of the Weekend Argus.
