A comment from a discussion list:

"Won't the burglars just use this web site to see who hasn't been burgled yet?"

Oh tulip.

Plod has just given clever villains access to a vast store of intelligence.

Ah, but using a bit if reverse psychology; the reason those properties haven't been burgled yet is because a) there's nothing of value there, or b) the houses are very secure, or c) the owners fight back. So the 'already burgled' could be getting another visit.

Wouldn't they want to know who has been burgled recently, so they can break and nick their brand new shiny replacement nickable items

Mix in a little bit of Royal Mail postcode data with socio economic indicators, overlay with 192.com, upmystreet, Google streetmap and low and behold you can work out who has the best houses, who has kids, when they're going on holiday, check out their security systems and know if it's worth doing over.

Of course, if you could do all that you wouldn't be wasting your time doing over houses you'd be working as an IT Contractor!

It has mostly just added a variable on the "I'm looking in this area to but a house" equation for the uptight middle class.

"Barnaby, tell the agent we are not going to go tonight to see that house, I just viewed the police website and there was a mugging in the area 2 years ago"

So if the B&B you stay in while you're doing your dull public sector contract was converted into a residential dwelling it would be worth £2M.
Interesting.

How is that pronounced. Is it 'horton'?

Houghton Regis is pronounced "Howton". Or "'eah'un" if you live there.

Does anyone know the results from the more salubrious parts of Luton yet, like Marsh Farm or the Islamic Republic of Bury Park?

I hope to God you never work on any of my projects.

Actually this is quite amusing dick head.

You seem to struggle with contracts, you seem to spend most of your time on here moaning about how you are a failed contractor.

Have you got a job recently or are you just still a tulipe contractor?
