i remember yrs ago, my brother in law worked in the sewage works at mogden lane. i went to meet him one day and had a pint in the social club, boiling hot day, stench coming trhough the window, was rather awful, they were so used to it they couldnt smell it.

25 odd years ago, I used to know a friend of a friend. The first and last time I went around to his house, I noticed mounds of brown Persil everwhere. Turns out under the Persil was cat turd and he couldn't be bothered to clean it up

No some nice people you do Pete

Between the ages of 17 and 22 I was in the heating/aircon trade. I got called to a pub (think it was near evesham somewhere)  :-/ and the whole village was made of cotswold stone. Including the pub. The car park was full of high class motors and the pub itself full of people in suits etc.

I thought to myself how nice a pub it was and would have to travel out there one sunny afternoon for a meal with swmbo.

I was shown the way to the kitchen so to service the cooker only to be greeted by a mass of old cooking fat and grime ALL OVER the kitchen and 2 german shepherd dogs in the corner with hairs everywhere.

Needless to say they didnt do much cooking in there for a good week

i often go to some squalid holes, mouse droppings all over appliances and the customer wonders why i put gloves on !
and the looks i get when i tell the customer the damage to the appliance has been caused by neglect eg not cleaning filters/putting all sorts of crap in the washer or trying to wash full plated dinners in a dishwaser- im amazed sometimes.
the best one was when i was training years ago and made a comment about a customers kitchen ceiling saying i like the way they have decorated it like a cave effect, when they turned around and said it was just old cobwebs gone brown !!!

lol i like that last one!

i refused to go to one house when i was back in london, cats and dogs everywhere and the carpet had its own groove down the middle of the carpet where they had been walking and the rest was inch thick with hair. nothing down in the kitchen where the boiler was and the mdf on the floor was curling up at the corners and covered in trodden in food and cat excrement. the lady who owned it actually worked in our head office in mitcham. a few engineer put some comments on the laptop after each job and each visit she went into the system to see what everyone had written about it - still didnt clean it up tho

[beemerdevil]

i agree pete............i would have refused to go in the house....dirty stinkin mother tinker......pppooooooooooooo

lol, I have had a couple of repair men round here.., yesterday there was a car boot on the rug.., I hadn't cleaned the floor for two days (that doesn't sound like long but normally I do it twice a day because a certain person brings clods in here every time he comes in after working on the car.., I could sweep up quite a bit of dirt every time he walks thru and have lolol) because just too busy and felt so bad when the last one came thru the door.., it looked more like a scrap yard in here than a house lol.

He was due to come back today so made sure it was sorted beforehand lol.

Its amazing how a couple of days of busy-ness and a house not fit for purpose makes it look awful tho.

I have been to some addresses which have nice tidy well kept gardens but the houses are dirty and smelly inside. Could be any one of our neighbours

[zippo]

An  engineer came to service my stair-lift about a month ago,put his tool box down ran out side and threw up . I wasn't impressed but when he explained he'd been trying not to be sick since his last appointment.......
It seemed reasonable to ask why ...............He had sat sat in the lift of his last appointment and sat in their waste It seems the last appointment was making some kind of protest regarding their treatment, so left him a present .

You tend to be able to tell a house being untidy, even very untidy, compared to a house that is rank through neglect.
