    But you DO get your lightbulbs changed for free. And that level of technical support don't come cheap.
    There must be a Plan B there somewhere offering dhobi services.

        London landlords voted 99% for Remain ? I wouldn't be at all surprised.

          Don't quite get this, when I'm on long stay in the US I tend to stay in hotels with a similar attitude. You get a fully fitted kitchen, there are communal areas, a washing machine area, the staff put on various activities each evening and so on and at the end of the day, the price is pretty much the same but you're not fixed to a contract. In reality this type of living has been around for ages apart from the having to share your living area, eating area and bathroom with a complete stranger. Load of old bollocks really...
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Methinks someone's making a lot of money out of them.....
            House and flat shares are expensive in London, so it probably works out the same.

              FTFY. Also common in the early 1900s.

                It's a pretty sad state of affairs because really this just accommodation for those who have done well at school with qualifications but have never actually had to live.

                These people will also be coming to a junior exec board near you -what could possible go wrong?

                  Bet it won't be much fun when they get that one scruffy bastard in that makes everyone's life a misery that seems to appear in most shared accommodation.

                    I have a funny feeling these snowflakes will form a committee and then ask a grown up to ask the scruffy one to leave.

                      Indeed but oddly enough the scruffy bastard also tend to be the obstinate one that won't move however much they are hated by the rest of the community.
