But aren't poisoned pungi sticks a bit OTT?
Warning! Evacuate this fire hazard building ASAP!!

Possibly, depends on how desperate he becomes.

Well, I guess his VHS collection of Last of the Summer Wine is irreplaceable.

Available on DVD, but it's himself he's bothered about.

Does Accy's sheltered accommodation have any kind of warden support?

I'm not sure he'd feel so safe with Officer Tackleberry on patrol!
I was just thinking having a warden keeping an eye on things might give some reassurance. Its stressful enough moving at the best of times, but to do so at zero notice with no say in the matter must be unsettling to say the least.

It's certainly been stressful! I've booked a removal firm to take my stuff the quarter of a mile across town to my new abode. They can't do it till Thursday, which means i have to spend 3 more days here with Mrs Accy.
They could've moved my stuff on Monday but the handyman at the fire hazard place is working in Manchester so he can't open the place up to let me get my stuff out. Yes they do have a warden at the new place. I'm "only" 56 but this last year's hassle must've put at least 5 years on me.

Flamin' Ada, just inhaled half a cup of Nespresso laughing at that!
Accy, I hope the landlords are paying for your moving expenses.

I like how when you get to a certain age it's "a fall" and not he/she's fallen. A nurse the other week asked if i'd had a fall recently.

I was wondering if the council will pay? Though i reckon they'd say that i haven't been forced to move,just been forced to keep out the building. Meaning i can go back when it's safe.So technically my furniture doesn't have to be moved. It's costing me £100 for the removal firm,which isn't bad as they're council recommended. Some others wanted £250!
Maybe the council will pay, seeing as they didn't have to fork out a few hundred quid on putting me up in B&B? Though i don't things work like that in officialdom land.

[QUOTE 4874012, member: 76"]Why are you moving your stuff if you can go back? You should check immediately whether the council are viewing your move to Sunnyside Retirement home as permanent, or if they are expecting you to go back when your current place is deemed safe.[/QUOTE]
No it's permanent. They asked on Wednesday if i had a preference of where i wanted to go. When i mentioned the sheltered accommodation they said straight away they'd get me in there. Like i said in earlier posts,if the old flat hadn't been condemned i wouldn't have got in the new place. I applied to go there a month ago. They didn't even bother to reply,i'm presuming because i would be bottom of the waiting list then. The fire hazard put me and the others high up the list,which made the move possible.

I forgot to mention. I can go back but it'll be at least 6 months. The council have been very good,i can't fault them on their efforts to get things sorted out.
