It happened just after the New Orleans hurricane Katrina flooding. We were only out of home for 4 weeks and stopped reaching after 6. The 'shit happens' jokes wore thin but we were known as the "poo-house" for ages after. Don't mess with shit! I can guess them all. It happened just after the New Orleans hurricane Katrina flooding.

I'll blame the council anyway, even when nothing goes wrong! Spaghetti - I have a few stories I could tell about Management Companies, but I can't. Litigation is too strong in this country!

Problem was, it wasn't the Council's fault, it was my Mgt Company. The Council are easier to track down for liability. I am still fighting with the Mgt. Co. 17 months later..... Er, have a nice holiday, Grandad!
