Ahhh people - don't you just want to hug them - with a stout rope and a short drop.
I was on the path to having a snake - local landlords office says "yes" then someone up the chain said "no" - all because they heard the word "snake" and feared it getting into a communal area and biting someone and them dying.
From a corn snake bite.
Now having to jump through more hoops to try and get the answer changed to "yes" - all because of an assumption.
