Joanna Yeates sweepstake

Not that I am taking this guy's side or anything, but is this sort of behaviour all that unusual for a landlord?

Yes it is. You are entitled to 'peaceful enjoyment of your home' which includes not having the landlord walking in whenever s/he likes.

That's the law dear Zippy, but real life is different... my ex-ex-landlady changed locks in the house in which I rented room without telling anyone and she was not happy I called her at 11pm saying I can't get in!

I was pished at the time so thought got into wrong place

Absolutely. In no way are landlords allowed to just wander in. I've hardly seen mine in 5 years.

That's because he makes sure you're out before dropping around and popping your toothbrush up his jacksy.

I'd have paid good money to see that

Maybe Joanna Yeates caught him doing that.

Another thing - did the boyfriend really go away, making such a fanfare about his car not starting so he had several witnesses? Or was he setting up an alibi?

There was an interesting quote in the Daily Wail last week.

Her boyfriend was quoted as saying "She was my future".. and this is before they found her body or knew she was even dead

It seemed to me that the parents were awfully certain that she had been abducted and would turn up dead when she was still just missing.

So you're plumping for the parents now.

That Greek(?) landlord from Royston Vasey came to mind when I read the news story earlier.
This is in no way intended to imply that the bloke had anything to do with it.
