Let's not forget that it said up to 500 rats. 1 rat qualifies as up to 500 rats, but 501 rats doesn't.That literally made my skin crawl, 500 rats :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Speaking of bones, I'm surprised no one has commented yet on the person with dreadlocks in the upstairs window of the flats adjoining. Male, I think!seven-day-weekend wrote: »It's got 'good bones' though . It could be a beautiful house.

That is the house of the late Eric Cousans, footballer and cricketer and recipient of a broken leg courtesy of Fred Trueman (playing football not cricket). He played a few games for Walsall and Gillingham in the mid 1950's before bouncing around several clubs and ending up at Canterbury with a transfer fee of £35 - a not small amount for a footballer back then. He was playing for Canterbury against Folkestone when another broken leg prematurely ended his career.Owain_Moneysaver wrote: »Plenty of windows in the bathroom, although it might be a bit cold and damp

Had he been born in the modern football era where there is more player protection and much more money, he would probably have had a mansion, as it was after he was forced to retire he took advantage of a Football Association grant to retrain as a physiotherapist and chiropodist.
He was also quite a talented artist.

An Englishman's house is his castle and what sort of castle wouldn't have a moat?

But a proper Englishman knows how to spell 'Theatre', (pic 13 - american spelling Theater). But they obviously like a bit of Corrie!:rotfl:0 -
Also here at The Register (a sort of Techie with a Tabloid slant site)We asked the good folk at Electrical Safety First for their thoughts on the setup, and they didn't quite know what to make of it.
"One would imagine it would overload the fusebox, although this might be dealt with if the room was on a separate circuit. But if you used all the sockets it would most likely blow the circuit breaker/RCD on that circuit. (Difficult to say, as we don't know what is being plugged in).
"Another thing to consider would be the number of holes in the walls created by putting in all those sockets – this could increase the risk of fire spreading, should one start."
They concluded: "While it might be feasible to have all these sockets, we wouldn't recommend it.
"As to what it is used for – no idea!"
Some more speculation in the comments there.
