    Poor cleaners. That must have reeked.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Would it not have all decomposed after 2 years and therefore not reeked?
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Note to self: Must get some friends so at least somebody will find my body.

        Though I think my landlords would notice if I didn't pay the rent for 2 years.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          I wad told the following by a work colleague but I do not know if it is accurate. Perhaps somebody could cooperate this.

          Any new housing development must have a certain percentage given over to social housing. This may be as high as 20%.

          What this means is that any new housing development will have undesirables among its populace and so you wouldn't want to live in a new development.

            You are indeed correct but it only applies to developments of a certain size, not sure how many houses are the minimum before this is applied though.

              The trick is to find a development that is too small to have to follow local council diktats regarding "social housing" and "affordability"

              I found one such for my second house which was built on the site of an old nursing home and comprised of only 12 4 bed detached houses

              hope this 'cooperate' this enuff

                  Ew.


                  I'd say 'poor guy', but it's not like he would have noticed that his death went unnoticed for that long...

                    Guy in my brother's building died and was not found for 3 months, when the person below complained about a damp patch in the roof above the police eventually broke in.
