A room for the night

Friends of ours told a very funny story over the weekend.  They have been living within a particular estate for a few months now, previously they had lived in a house that would be extremely hard to describe.... just imagine having a huge, huge boulder in the middle of your living room, the landlords living on the top floor, and a zillion servants servicing the various occupants of the house.  Well, Tara and her eldest son Liam were sitting having breakfast on Sunday morning and reflecting upon the privacy the 'new' house provided them with, when she saw some men walking down the path to the back of her house.  Confused as to why they were there and what they were up to she went outside to question them.

It turns out, they had been in earlier in the morning to clear out the unused maid's room at the back of the house and now they were in the process of depositing their suit cases in the room.   Why?  Who gave you permission? etc etc  asked Tara.  The guys pointed to the house opposite and told Tara she should speak to the 'Madam' of the house opposite.  It turns out that the lady living opposite Tara was having some work done inside her house and that these men were the tilers.  So, asked Tara, what has this got to do with them being on her property?  

The neighbour tells Tara that as her maids room is empty she has told the labourers they can sleep there.  "Absolutely Not" says Tara, "But they'll only be there in the nights" replies the neighbour.   "ABSOLUTELY NOT" says Tara.  Needless to say they were evicted before they had the chance to take root.  

Can you believe this?

To date, we can only say positive things about our fellow residents and an incident like this is surprising.
