Nice to see Fitzwarren Court still looking grim and horribly coloured - I used to live there too! Have you got hold of my previous addresses and are stalking me Frances Lengel? :hmm: :D

The council must have found hundreds of gallons of hideous pale blue paint in a depot and decided 'waste not want not' and slapped it on this block. Immediately below that block was the Brass Handles pub, scene of a fatal shooting. Strange how gun crime seems to follow me around...:hmm:

It's a beast of a block - The white ones behind it have been sold off to privateers but old Fitzy's still doin it for the council. Is that the one where you lived on the 22nd floor?

That's the one - I was on the 21st floor, one below the penthouse suite. Got burgled by a right skanky neighbour while I lived there, who I later was told by the police was sent to Strangeways and was from a 'well known' family.

I remember a case of another burglary there, where the half-witted burglar didn't notice there was dust everywhere in the communal areas due to renovation work. The police just followed his footsteps from burgled flat to his front door and nabbed him. Bang to rights! :D

This all started when the council, in their wisdom, decided to start housing troubled young people in the block. Instant crime wave, and the residents were up in arms about it - quite rightly.
