Confidently stated but completely false. It is just that building regulations are not made retrospective - you will see a marked difference in prices in house built before and after 1995. As someone else has pointed out, that old house with its heavy tile roof would struggle against a stiff breeze.

@commanteer
I'm sure Yrral can speak for himself, but I'm guessing his point is that Tyson is in no way a victim, and his claims that he is, is an insult to real victims including those victims of Tyson.

You shouldn't hit your child with a belt but a little bit over the top don't you think?
I presume purple_depressed _bacon is a millennial - you don't think, "That's not a good idea. Don't do it again" would suffice?
And how did that phone call to the police go?
We phoned and no one answered
So what?
They're Brazilian.
