They are a breeding ground for cholera but good for washing cars.

The theory is that they encourage people to stay in buildings too long. Its horses for courses of course. DS= District Surveyor. London building control officer to you, some of whom have always tended to rant in German and talk about lebensraum and invading Poland if you didnt want hose reels in a building in Inner London to which s20 of the London Building Acts (Amendment) Act 1939 applied.

When I was young, cars themselves were just a breeding ground, in which you could catch all sorts of things, but cholera was the least obvious.
