Are there any friendly tenancy lawyers on here? That might have 15 minutes for me on the phone? About to have a section 21 enforced with a month notice. Rent arrears, due to bereavement, subsequent L health and the vagaries of an insecure income. I’m trying to buy time really.

April 13, 1980 USGS geologist Don Mullineaux joins Survey Director William Menard at Timberline on Mount St. Helens. His first up-close look scares him—the north slope looks grotesquely distorted. "It looked like a failure about to occur," Mullineaux said. "I wanted to turn around and leave."
