On a short break in a rented house in Cheltenham a week ago I was bitten by what looked like a dog flea. Made me appreciate what the ancestors had to cope with.
and our house in nechells was we hated going to school with the lumps on us., when he bedroom ceiling fell down on us one night there was hundred in the old horse hair plaster and laths. we had to go outside and wait for the estates to come out. that is when we was took for fumigating and emergency re homed that was just positively shocking
