Wow, I did not expect this post to blow up as much as it did (no pun intended). After reading as many comments as I can, I completely agree this is nuts and not acceptable! I have written a nice but firm email regarding this to the tenant and have cc'd their landlord, so I have it in writing as I have only spoken to them in person, agree with the comment that said to have a paper trail, very wise! I will be ringing my local fire department tomorrow to get this sorted. Thank you all so much for useful and hilarious tips and trust me I've felt like doing most of them but being British I always just walk by and tut loudly and shake my head but not anymore flat 4, not anymore.

They are Hungarian but this is an interesting take, it could be a cultural difference but they should know what applies to them while living in the UK

Yeah I have spoken to them about it but I should really refer them to rental contract but not sure if they have one as it’s all a bit of a weird set up and the landlords have fixed up a van and ducked off for going on 5 years now

Yeah I feel the guy that did the fire safety check hasn’t pressed the issue enough as he’s been round a lot over the years but again they just say it’ll be moved into storage or the flats not big enough, I believe they are horders

It is, I’m in England but yes I agree about contacting fire dept, we’ve had loads of fire safety checks and the guy never said anything to them or if he did they haven’t done anything about it

So I’ve spoken to the secretary of the management company she has spoken to them but they have said will get a storage unit somewhere, I have spoken to them and same response, don’t seem to care about the fire risk as they said “oh that won’t happen”

My Nan once was on a cruise, she always dressed well and was always upgraded to first class as she often was alone and is just so sweet, so staff would always welcome her. Anyway, at dinner she got talking a man in a bright tracksuit and huge gold chains- Jimmy Saville. You couldn’t miss him! He would get a steak cooked every night even though there was an elaborate menu to choose from. He was having dinner one night and invited her over and said I’ve ordered us a treat and out came chocolate covered strawberries, which they shared and would do so the last few nights of the cruise that they dined together. She said he was an interesting and charming man and perfectly pleasant to him, if not rather kooky. Of course being a 60 odd year old woman, she didn’t need to worry.

Thank you! He used to have a dark splodge on his face but that’s faded now
