It has been official for some months now; Ireland’s economy is in Recession. That word, and its big brother, Depression, call forth memories of the 1980s.
But things are different now. Back then a fridge freezer was a luxury item.
We have dug deep into the Archives of Ambrand.com and come up with some brochures which exude light tan and sienna; the colours of the decade. Times were different. back then brochures actually showed diagrams of items, indeed back then car advertisements often had photographs of boots (or trunks to our American readers) to show their cavernious qualities or felt carpeted floors. Ah yes the “rule” of not including specifications on product brochures/boxes annoys this writer.
It will be recalled that we were not too impressed with apieceofireland.com when we reviewed its product back in March, well we not consider a competitor known as buyireland.com.
Disregarding all other potential problems, what stopped me taking the American Express out of the Wallet was that buyireland.com are not selling land freehold, instead the purchaser must settle for a 20 year leasehold interest. Now, consideirng that the footage of the land is token the Unique Selling Point I had assumed was that the purchased would actually own the land. But he will not.
Sure as a potential customerwhy would I waste my money at buyireland.com when a local farmer in Ireland will rent me an entire acre, near my house, for EUR 300 for a year, and during that time I can dig holes in the land, plant grass, do wheelies, live in a tent, or whatever else I want (that is not permanent)
Dear readers, the only advantage I see with buyireland.com is the decorative parchment. Thus it is a gift, if you are a principle it offers little.
