Would you let a homeless person sleep in your garage?

Sure. Why not have one housesit your place while you go on vacation as they'll happily do the service pro bono .

If they could find any room...

Not as irritating as Geldof though. I'd have to take up my 'Rat Trap'.

Is the Naim 'chatbot' rollout happening soon?

If that person were capable of fixing the heater on the Alfa I might consider it.

The state of out garage that would probably be considered some sort of a crime. Maybe if they could find one of the tents that I believe are somewhere in there that would be a better idea.

Oh god, mine was a bugger. Either the heater was on permanently or not at all and seemingly impossible to fix for good. I still have memories of driving with my head out the window and people virtually passing out in the back on a mild April day one time.

Turned out to be the whacky electronics (of course) rather than the heater itself which were hopelessly wrong.

Warm place to kip down mind.

They would be lucky to even get in our garage which is currently full to capacity with boxes OD CDs and vinyl albums along with the usual rubbish collected over the last decade.  Anyone who is capable of getting in and finding somewhere to sleep is far too skilled to be homeless 

Strange how we build bedrooms for our cars and then won't let them sleep inside. We should be honest enough to call them "junk-rooms" rather than the misleading "garage".

Well, I don't have a garage, as I live in a flat. So I have the perfect get-out clause and can pretend that I would, without ever having my assertions and virtue signalling tested...

Ah, but my wife's Alfa is a 1967 model and has no electronics at all. I am simply not bendy enough to crawl on my back in the footwell! And we don't have a roof, which means that no heating is a tad uncomfortable on a winter's day. Driving with the heater full on is a necessity in my 1969 Mini.

Is she hot? If so, she can get in the tub   Seriously, though, anybody, or any animal, living on my property I consider to be responsibility. If I know the person and the circumstances, I'd probably give them a bedroom in the house. Otherwise, be careful what you step in.

If I had one 

I built two separate garages last year and both had under floor heating one for a Bugatti and the other for a vintage Porche.

Don't think anyone would want to sleep in our garage. Saw a spider in there last week the size of a cow.

Maybe the homeless person could sleep in the porche? Or under the lean-to at least...
