Anyway, did you ever learn what you were meant to use the powder fire extinguisher for? If you weren't meant to use it for an oil fire, what was it being reserved for?

They're for electric fires aren't they? Seam to remember this from a safety lecture at some job I did once.

Cleaners? Actual cleaners? Not just a crappy half-broken off-brand version of Henry The Vacuum Cleaner in a closet in the flat that you theoretically had one of the seven use once a week but nobody ever actually did? They weren't proper full on cleaners. They just hoovered and swept I think. They didn't do your washing or the dishes. The halls were new and were rented out during the holidays for summer schools and conferences and the like so I think the cleaners were probably there to keep on top of the filth so that it wouldn't get out of hand. |

Nothing burned to the ground although there was a bit of a mess with the powder all over the place. That might have been her main gripe- the mess. |

Did they let nanny in to do all that? |

Get a grip. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59320814Look, I feel sorry for this poor bint. She's being done up the wrong un by everyone here, as are we all. This shouldn't be a matter for her or the taxpayer. This is another astonishing example of the "professions" treating the public like cattle for beef or dairy. |

"A fire safety expert is demanding ministers reveal whether "highly dangerous" cladding, secretly tested in the early 2000s, was the product used at Grenfell Tower. In September, the BBC uncovered details of cladding products that failed safety tests some 13 years before the blaze. Dr Jonathan Evans believes among these was the aluminium and plastic cladding that spread the 2017 London fire." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59434012The Rosw3ll Area 51 thing is gathering a pace now. |

""Underneath the floorboards there were tiles with asbestos that were super cracked"
Bloody hell. She talks like a child.
Okay, to address Van's question: why do you think that a council would sell off housing stock, piecemeal? Could it be that it was no longer an economic entity and that by mixing private and council tenants they might get one to subsidise the other?
Also, the asbestos thing is very whiney. She'll be talking about old lino styles tiles which contain a small amount of encapsulated asbestos. Leave 'em alone and you'l be fine. Also, what was your surveyor doing when you had your buyer's report done?

Funnily enough my street is a mix of council flats and ex council flats privately owned, and Ming towers of course.
The Council are doing work on them but largely lumping the cost onto the privately owned flats or trying to, anyway.

Sue the council (Baloo's link). Sue the surveyor. Sue the estate agents. Sue everyone. Get it in the local papers. Buy a gun. Go on the rampage. Fuckem, it's Christmas.

Doesn't affect me. Mine's a freehold house, not ex council but I'm on a commitee for the street that's handling it. In amongst other things the council has billed £40k consultancy basically for painting the halls.
