I remember thinking, back in April when this thread began on the Channel 4 4homes forum... how's Winter going to find time to answer all these individual questions, what with the strains of TV and estate agency and having to splash fuel into that expensive car?

Having trouble selling your house? Then why not seek advice from Selling Houses' presenter Andrew Winter?

Post Here.

Within four minutes of the post, the first question came in:

oh! me me! I have a question!

How do you keep so calm with these people you help out?!

Can't you just imagine his sinking feeling? Or the pet name he quickly developed for the C4 producer who'd come up with this bright idea? And then within a day, things had deteriorated to this:

Where DO you get those polo necks from?

And then, pretty soon, this:

Sadly... I believe that the recent hot weather caused a reaction in the nylon of Andrew's polo neck and he suffocated. Tragic. Well, it's as reasonable an explanation as any as to why this thread is still sitting here without any response whatsoever from Andrew or indeed anybody else from C4....

But still they post... when are they going to learn? Andrew doesn't come round here no more.
