Our favourite piece of estate agent's guff:

The breathtaking design of these executive apartments added to the panoramic views over historical Athlone and the majestic river Shannon, taken in conjunction with luxury features such as high- speed elevators, state of the art roof gardens and private mooring facilities, will ensure this unique investment opportunity of ever- growing capital appreciation.

Taken from a brochure issued by Meldon & Sons and Finlay Auctioneering for Custume Pier, an apartment scheme in Athlone where, it seems, the property boom will go on forever.
