The unburied parents story is very, very odd isn't it?

[andrewducker]

I do get the feeling that there's something I'm missing there.

[danieldwilliam]

Yes, buried in the details of the story is the fact that the bodies of the parents appear to have been kept for quite a long time in a disused fish and chip shop before being discovered by the council.

It's all a bit creepy to be honest.

[andrewducker]

Yeah. There's clearly something very odd going on.
