Mr Millington also kept various game and exotic birds outside while his wife ket a Monkey in a large cage on the upstairs landing. Mr millington was not a fan and used to feed it chalk which it loved and seemed to have no affect on him.

One other memory, and I can remember all the names, was when I had a lady came into a cubicle for an interview with her "partner" , she said look what he's done to me, took off her head scarf and lifted her hair and scalp to reveal her her skull, she seemed to think it was acceptable! I will...
