A harmless little hobby.

William Lyttle, 75, has been forced out of his home in Hackney, a borough of London, poor man. You see, he's spent much of the last 40 years digging tunnels under the place, and now the local council is worried that it could collapse, taking part of the street with it. Apparently, he also has stuffed the house full of all kinds of old junk, including many fridges and beds.

Very interesting little post here on the word hackney. Same word serves for both trite and unoriginal (hackneyed) and a taxi (hack).
