In the 1980s, I was doing a visit to the 8th floor of a block of flats & I was waiting for the lift. It arrived & the door opened and a young lad walked out of the lift with a horse! I found out that this horse had been living in a flat on the 7th floor for a long period of time!

Thanks Gill:
Residents complained that a dog was growing in the communal grassed area. Inspection revealed that a dead dog had been buried but not deep enough. As rigor mortis set in and the soil sank the stiffened ears of the Alsatian began to emerge through the ground!

During a visit to a sheltered housing scheme the Queen Mother was heard to remark “these are quite nice for the old folks aren’t they”? She was 94 at the time!

What's in a name?

Some time ago, the Housing Corporation were proposing to instigate a Social Housing Investment Team - they then decided that perhaps the title was wrong!

The budgie revived, flapping its wings. This so surprised the scheme manager that she dropped it, which killed it.!!!!!!!! George has been sworn to silence.

One of my scheme managers found a distressed customer whose budgie had just died. Being an enterprising sort of officer she tried resuscitating it and failed. She then remembered that George next door was on oxygen so took it round to give it a quick blast.

When the Housing Officer visited the flat to investigate allegations of a " noise nuisance", not only did he find a donkey in the property, but the tenant had sawn the door to one room in half so that the animal could stick his head out as though it was in a stable!
