He just took them 15 minutes ago.

BTW. He still has a van and a car parked at the bottom of the drive.

No, it's probably ARW frightening em off - he just wants to wash under his
armpits a bit more often that's all.

Frankly, the new owner would want to put something better in, if at

Back in my childhood days, when new neighbours moved in, they told us
that their predecessors had taken with them ... the light fittings. I
was too young to enquire precisely what that meant, but it was well
before the days people had posh things like chandeliers.

Certainly, I've heard of them removing light fittings, door handles, bulbs
and in one case a couple of doors.

When looking for our first house, we looked at one which had a warning
notice in the fireplace - "don't turn on the gas"

The previous owners had not only taken every lightswitch and fitting,
they had removed an inset gas fire, by cutting through the pipework on
the supply side of the gas point, rather than uncoupling it from the point!

I cannot find it ATM but there was a case a few years ago where someone did
that and either seriously injured or killed someone. ISTR they went to jail.

I can remember helping my brother move house. On the day my brother moved in
the the family that he had bought the house from were still living there and
had not packed one item and asked if they could stop another day!

When we arrived to move into our last house, the incumbent was only about
half moved out. We piled her stuff in the street.

Our removals van was late on the day, BT had already changed the
number and wouldn't tell me what it was (ex-directory), so nobody
could ring back to explain what was (not) happening. Eventually
it arrived, accompanied by a breakdown truck.

We were only about half out when the new owners arrived. Two vans
and crews, the HGV breakdown truck, the incomers, all milling
around - time for a brew.

Our stuff was going out of one door whilst theirs went into the
other. They sent a second crew to speed unloading, and we got
everything in by teatime.

Too late now, but in that situation, plug a phone in and dial 17070, the

I know that now, but 30 years ago I didn't. After a couple of
frustrating conversations with BT, they eventually said they
would ring the new owners, and get them to contact us and tell us
the number.
