Stirling - 'I was robbed.....'

Sir Stirling Moss - Robbed by his tenants.

His Italian chef and girlfriend tenants are said to have failed to pay rent for seven months, before scarpering on the eve of the bailiffs' arrival, and taking the Pimlico flat's furnishings with them. Crockery, furniture, bed linen... all gone. Moss's daughter, who manages her father's portfolio, describes her initial concerns:

Alarm bells did ring when I first met him, because he had tattoos on his neck.

Seriously, though... I wonder whether a high-profile case like this will do anything to add to the pressure to change a system that forces landlords to affectively offer half a year's free accommodation to any tenant who just doesn't fancy paying?

Apologies for my lack of blogging of late - Another longer stay in hospital, without Wi-Fi, put paid to that.....

All the best now,

Mr J.
