Any question answered...

"Have found out from my neighbours that their landlord has refused to fix their faulty stove. One of them retunred to find it hadn't been turned off the special way you need to now it doesn't work properly. Lucjily, no light switch was turned on. The neighbours are sorry.
But its not their fault is it? Shall I go and shout at the landlord and call him a cunt and make him fix it? Where do I stand legally?"

It's a light or be lit world. Fuck legality. Go shout at the landlord and call him a cunt, and give him the option of lighting the stove, or you'll light him on fire.

*I also strongly advise against taking my advice.
