What a disaster ! I had a similar problem many years back caused by an irresponsible landlord who had failed to fix a problem with the neighbouring flat's occupants. I hope it can be sorted amicably with whoever is responsible. Good luck
Very sorry to hear your bad news. You must have had a dreadful shock. I'm glad you've been able to comment on today's EV. I really look forward to your views on this rather strange crossword!! The new setter does appear to be settling down.... but I still miss the EVs of old!
