Yep, you can't escape it. Someone on my friends list has just updated their facebook profile to indicate their landlord is selling up and wants them out in brighton.

Another friend is selling their flat in essex.

Perhaps social networking will propogate happenings very quickly....

Most likely will do, you only need to look at the recent past with medja coverage of events and "the peoples" view taking an increasing role in reporting. They know the unwashed can't have their brains scrubbed clean with the traditional tube.
