I used to live in Leyton (East London) and whilst on the lookout for a new house to rent with my college friends, we stopped by a dodgy little 2 up 2 down off the back of the new M11section. We decided upon it due to the utterly unpleasant landlord whose name I still remember to this day for some reason (Gurbax Singh). Well a couple of months afterwards someone was shot on the doorstep of this very house. I believe it was drug related, but I count myself lucky that Gurbax was quite as repulsive as he was.

Also a ...[text shortened]... street and with out a word gave him a beating, stole his things and threw him in front of a car.
