Ian Parrott, 62, discovered his locks had been changed, the letterbox boarded up, and a repossession order hanging in his window. The notice said his detached home in Eynesbury, Cambridgeshire, had been repossessed and that he had seven days to reclaim his belongings.

But it was a case of right house number, wrong road. When Mr Parrott did finally gain entry, he found the bailiffs had emptied his fridge (greedy buggers) and turned off all the utilities. It's an odd mistake to have made. I always thought you had to have an Oxbridge degree (or Ivy League equivalent) to be a bailiff. Anyway, click through to the story, and enjoy the comment left by Peter Jones of Amersham... surely not the first time Falling Down has been mentioned on the Daily Mail's comment section. It's political correctness gone mad.
