A bit council (Vol 3)
Discussion
What's distressing about the DM article is potentially there were children in that house. In the private sector, people I think get left alone more, especially if landlords are elsewhere/far away.
At least in the social side, staff are on estates, people can text/email in issues, we'll certainly enter every home with gas once a year for service and so on.
Not to say it doesn't happen- but generally its old men/women on their own or young drug addicts/drunks.
thank goodness, families living like this are rarer to find these days.
So I was at the hospital for a good period of time yesterday- poorly child, but all is well.
In the bed opposite was Nico. Let me tell you about Nico. A lovely young man aged about 11/12.
He was rushed in with some sort of allergy/asthma thing. I'll be honest I couldn't see a thing wrong with him. The mother was one of those round, angry faced women, hair scraped back and angry women's glasses on. Never a moment passed without her engaging in some sort of mobile phone activity.
His younger brother wasn't in school either, strangely.
Nurse, doing the forms: "So Nico, what school are you at?"
mother " he's not at fecking school, because he's been expelled because the teachers are bullying him".
At no point during a very long 8 hours adjacent to him, did he
stop playing on his phone- even under examination
stop giving a running commentary of what he was doing within his game
give any consideration to the other adjacent beds with poorly children in (as did his mother) to the volume of noise he was generating.
even when angry mother kept going off with another round relative to go outside for a smoke, did she do anything like turn her TV off to give people a rest.
I wonder if anyone can work out the connection to Nico's asthma and his big fat mother's smoking. I think I can, but I'm not a doctor.
Anyway, I'll repeat myself.
He's been expelled because the teacher's are bullying him.
I tell you, Corbyn's Britain, it's doomed I tell you, doomed.
Like my wife said: they're probably your tenants. I said, if they are not now, I bet they are aspiring to be.

So, they either left the windows open all the time or the place was very damp.I am not excusing the filth and damage but i am wondering if these are slum tenants housed by a slum landlord..

I work for the NHS in Adult Mental Health/ECP. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Nico in a few years.

There are people like this everywhere. Here's a few from a place I was in today, that's cat s
t on the floors and bed.
This isn't a very bad one really, although it smells pretty powerful!
Found any sex toys yet?t on the floors and bed.This isn't a very bad one really, although it smells pretty powerful!
I know someone who used to work for a women's domestic violence charity. A lot of women left vibrators and dildos when they moved out of the refuge.

We used to have a few rentals at the lower end of the market and yes, loads of sex toys (often really really filthy and left out on display to absorb all kinds of airborne ash and dirt - minging), bondage equipment, drug paraphernalia, smashed phones, broken games consoles, umpteen sky and virgin tv boxes I know someone who used to work for a women's domestic violence charity.

Under the house (NZ house, so about 1m off the ground) was filled with pizza hut boxes.
We felt sorry for the landlord, he was looking at either big discounts on the sale price or about $20k fixing it all up to sell.

At an old place of work a manager had their company car in the workshop for an evaluation exercise (vehicle development). There were tales of it having a rather impressive "neck massager" in the boot.A friend started dating a girl and she lived in digs with a few others, this girl invited him back for lunch at hers. One of the other tenants had left their rubber fanny out on the sideboard of the kitchen sink. Said he quickly vacated the premises.
Those pics above with the cat s
t. I cannot believe people live like that. Bleeuuurgh.
