There's a prostitute living in my house
Article Abstract:
Flat owners holidaying in France discovered that a prostitute was renting their flat despite having employed a firm of estate agents to find and investigate a tenant and deal with legalities. The agents recommended a polite letter stating that no business was allowed but it was not sent. The tenant stopped paying the rent. The agents had no written references or telephone number for the tenant. On re-advertising the flat, the agent asked for the incorrect rent, having lost the file including documents needed for legal proceedings.

Living on borrowed time, but thriving
Article Abstract:
Doreen Wilson is one of 90 patients participating in a research programme of the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, England, for chemotherapy treatment for cancer of the liver. She wears a small pump called a Portocath which delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver 10 days a month. This avoids side-effects. Some patients have the pump fitted internally and a reservoir is implanted and connected to the hepatic artery. When Mrs Wilson had conventional chemotherapy treatment it made her feel ill and she had no energy.

Accused tax man found comfort in prostitute
Article Abstract:
Tax inspector Michael Allcock, who is claimed to have received bribes totalling 150,000 pounds sterling from businessmen from who the Inland Revenue had demanded large sums of money, has stated in his defence that he was in very difficult personal circumstances at the time. His wife had cancer, and he found that spending excessively was the only way he could cope. He also turned to a prostitute, to whom he regularly gave gifts of clothes and money.
