That's probably fudgable for a guest speaker, but not so much for eg. an interpreter or software training provider.  Hence everything revolves around agencies, who a) take their cut  and are  b) crap   which means that  c) many people the university might want to hire refuse to work for them.

I have to use a specific shaving foam (with its antiseptic properties) in order to prevent razor bumps.

It occurs more frequently in those with tight curly hair, especially in men of African and, to a lesser extent, those of Asian descent.[/size]5[/font][/size][/color],[/color]6[/font][/size][/color] PFB is multifactorial in origin, but the shaving of terminal hair usually triggers it.[/font][/color][/size]

I wonder where the legal fees came from?

If I were them, I'd downsize anyway for (a) cash and (b) because the neighbours must now hate them

Well predicted! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-68896140

And the homeowner responsibility to replace but the water companies responsibility to mitigate until they do.

I will say programmes to install water meters have been a great way for the water companies to find which houses have lead service lines (connection from the main to the house) and gain valuable insight to where the risk exists, because like the household that was built 54+ years ago so was the pipe laid 54+ years ago and good luck finding any record of the pipe material used that long ago for anything smaller than about 12" in diameter, if it hasn't been dug up since.
