Madam, - I'm no George "Jonah" Lee or David "Decklander" McWilliams, but when the Irish Times Property Section is advising vendors ("City Living" by Edel Morgan, Nov 9th) to "cover chests of drawers in designer wallpaper" and "apply batik to cocktail trolleys" in order to sell their houses, then I know panic is setting in and the Residential Property Doom is only around the corner. - Yours, etc,
