    If you look closely at the pictures you can see that the neighbours on each side have their windows boarded up as well as this lady's house, which kind of makes you wonder if these properties are derelict and used for a photo op. It would explain why the entire interior has been ripped out.

    Also, in the right of the pic are two boxes, one of which contained a new toilet ('toilet to go' from one of the DIY stores) and the packaging is pretty worn, as though it has been there a long time.

    It all looks just a little bit iffy.

    Oh my word, what on earth is she wearing?

    A set of clothes designed for someone 20 years younger and 3 stone lighter.

    A tasteless 20 years & 3 stone off, though.

    There's also the most damning piece of evidence - this is a story from the Daily Mail.

    RM mate, we weren't looking at the house, just the state of what was standing in front of it.
    Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.

    My eyes were so appalled that they refused to look in the centre of the photo and instead sped to the periphery!
