I got a call from a couple of the lads that work for me today, refusing to go back into the house due to it being unfit to work in, well with the house being a short distance from where i was working, i told them to sit tight, and id pop down to personaly judge the tricky situation, due to it being part of quite a large contract.
I arrived at the house which was a quite modern detached property with a brand new car sat on the drive, As i knocked on the door and then entered, the smell hit me square in the face, old food on the floor, thick dust everywhere, dirty desgarded cloths all over and ill not go into too much detail regarding the wc and bathroom, needless to say, as soon as i left after telling the lads to take the gear back to the warehouse, i headed straight for a shower, and all the clothes went straight in the washer.
Brand new car, massive flatscreen tv and hi-fi and ( sorry to use this expression ) a shit hole, and the son of a company director.
Im just waiting for his Dads phone call tomorrow, which should be interesting. anyone had an experience like this
Hey up it isn't my mate by any chance, no seriously his house sounds exactly the same and his old boy brought it him, i wont go round, at the end of the day he is a wicked mate but when it comes to having a takeaway or even going round on a lads nite in, i give it a widebirth, he dosen't see it, and no wonder he has problems with keeping relationships. Was thinking bout getting those two women off channel four to go around and clean it up! (forgot the name of the program)
After seeing some of the places people live in from that TV program with the 2 cleaning ladies ... I can't say I'm too amazed by what you describe ... it is frightening to think people can bear to live like that :shock:
I used to call for a lad on the way to school and one morning his dog peed on the windowsill. I mentioned it to his mother she just shouted at the dog and a fortnight later the pee had just dried to a yellow stain, they cant have cleaned up at all, they were really filthy. I think it starts with being lazy because even if you dont have much money and not many material things you can still keep what you have clean.
Did you find any pizza ?!
Well after being a visiting officer for the DSS that place sounds like a palace!! - you soon learn not to sit on soft furnishings!!!
p.s not a dig at anyone on the Benefits, but there are some real sh*tholes i''ve been in!!
i served my apprentship with the local council but you could normally tell what you were in store for by looking at the garden lol.
So many disgusting places and it's soooo hard to refuse the numerous offers for tea lol
Money is no substitute for cleanliness/hygiene.
That guy sounds like he should belong in a zoo.
We used to have a property we let out, in the end we sold it at a loss cause we got so fed up of having to go in and fumigate it after the tenants had moved out!
Know this scene very well used to do emergency wiring for local council, lost count of how many flats or houses i've refussed to work in. Cant always tell from gardens though, found a couple with perfect gardens and paint work outside but complete s**t holes inside.
:lol: :lol: 
Suffice to say it was bad.
