On a lighter note...
In October 1996, we cited some extracts from letters received by
landlords and letting agents. In this issue we list a few more:
"When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy."
"I am writing on behalf of my sink which is running away from the wall."
"Will you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away."
"Will you please send someone to mend our broken path. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant."
"Our lavatory is broken in half and is now in three pieces."
"I am still having trouble with smoke in my built in drawers."
"Will you please send a man to look at my water. It's a funny colour and not fit to drink."
"Can you please tell me when our repairs are going to be done as my wife is about to become an expectant mother."
"I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall."
