      Oh gosh, you’re back. More deflection from you I’m afraid.

      Once again, how many times now?

      Are abandoned houses unoccupied?

      Answer that and we’ll zip back up to where I originally asked the question, and we can put your whole song and dance behind us.

          You’re just being silly now. Are abandoned houses unoccupied? If they are, then they’re relevant. What’s the real reason you’re cherry picking.

          Incorrect. I asked you that question from the link comment onwards.

            Obviously an abandoned house is empty. Is it habitable though?
