Perhaps is it because I speak American rather than British, but to me a shop is a place where the item(s) I buy can be carried out, if not in a shopping bag then on a truck (lorry). Assuming that “estate agent” translates to “real estate agent”, I would expect them to work out of an office rather than out of a shop. Love the “bike shedding” that this list promotes. (Not really, but I was unaware of that term until I joined this list and it really does apply to nearly every tagging topic covered here.) Cheers, Tod
