This oven, as far as I can tell, has remained unused since it was reconditioned way back when. It still bears a sticker attesting to same. The interior, I should think, is cleaner than the exterior. It looks as though someone has tried to make the front and top look less dreadful. That yellow down the side is not from cooking, it's the same acrid ack that's on all the surfaces inside the rooms at the back.

My landlord utilises the “leaving stuff out front” method of redistribution, and in this neighbourhood, that works very efficiently. All that remains are a few books, some of which I quite fancied until I touched them. I'm rather glad that the vast DVD collection promised to me has vanished without trace
