A lot of council estates get called posh names to make them sound better, they're still ********s. Never as posh as the developer's names for new developments. |

Round here "court" means council estate, usually stupidly designed with the front doors all facing each other and a path going along them, and the entrance roads round the back. So you can't drive to someone's front door. -- In 1961, 87-year-old Harry Meadows, a resident at the Haslemere home for the elderly in Great Yarmouth, England, achieved late-in-life notoriety when he accidentally killed another 3 residents of his care home by dressing up as the grim reaper and peering through the residents' lounge window whilst holding a scythe. The year before Harry's performance, another resident of the same home, the then 81-year-old Gladys Elton, for reasons best known to herself, had conceived the idea of performing a striptease for her fellow residents of the home; unfortunately such was the effect of Elton's performance that it caused the death of one resident by way of a cardiac arrest and the treatment for shock of five other residents. |
