Having a bed in there would be a great addition.
It was many years ago when I was at Somerset College of Agriculture but we rigged one up deep in the bowels of the college one night and promptly got caught in flagrante by the matron.
Thought nothing more about it until I was hauled out of a lecture on "cricket wicket preparation" to come face to face with 2 representatives of Custom & Excise.
Silly old moo dropped us right in it.
Anyhow, some weeks later we were all "bound over to keep the peace" at Bridgwater Magistrates Court.
Funniest bit was afterwards when the old soak who did the court reports for the Bridgwater Mercury came over and asked if he could sample our "product".
Happy days

I don't know why people think they can get money for nothing.
They said they didn't want to put their house at risk, but did it anyway.
Some people, tell them what they want to hear, will do silly thing to make it happen.
Then they are upset when it goes badly wrong.

Typical wail story. NTRT have suffered worse. And there are 2000 of us. When will the wail pick up our cause?

1. Eliminate stamp duty so they can downsize and the young can move in tax free.
2. Consider instituting land tax to encourage efficient use of land.
