1. You were lucky
Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor! Would ha' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us!

2. You had a water tank?
You lucky bastard child!

We were allowed to sleep in the sewer pipes on special holidays, but only if we agreed to haul away any obstructions.

4. The family pets...
specifically the rats.

Regrettably we had to eat "Fido" and "Fluffy" to live.
