Overheard at MIPIM 2018 day one

A few choice remarks from busy delegates that paint the scene at this year’s MIPIM.

“I started to describe the deal structure like a ratatouille and just thought to myself, ‘What on earth are you talking about? This isn’t Saturday Kitchen‘.” – A City agent

“My bum hurts.” – About 200 cyclists

“Who knows what we’ll do when everyone realises there’s too much luxury resi and PRS in the city. Let’s just hope people keep building it regardless.” – A Manchester agent

“The first meeting I could get isn’t until 2pm. We’re not top of anyone’s agenda here. We’ll just have to walk around and see if we bump into people.” –A lonely tax adviser

“Do we really need all this elaborate French grub after a long day? Can’t we just have steak and chips and be done with it?” –A weary council leader at a VIP dinner
