My brother was a squatter
in Hulme, Manchester for the best part of a decade, and as such witnessed some really foul living conditions.

However, nothing prepared him for the lavatory in our little sister's shared house when she was at Birmingham University - all girls, and truly the most repellent sight you could imagine. He'd never seen anything so bad.

And she gave us Carling to drink when we got there...the horror....

Interestingly - or not -
my little tale is set in Birmingham Univeristy Guild of Students Students' Union. It was a horrible place at the best of times.
