Tom Cruise's stinky English manor

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' new British love nest is currently empty- because it stinks of the neighbor's sewage.
It appears the newlyweds will not be able to make use of the £2.5 million mansion for a while, as it has been overtaken by unbearable odor, caused by the neighboring sewage works.
The stench has been caused by Tom and Katie's neighbors at Dormans Park village emptying their cesspools and garden drains.
Neighbor Emma Tanning told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The pond is absolutely putrid when the cesspits are being emptied. If Tom moves in before the work is completed it won't be smelling very pretty. I don't think Katie will be happy."
The works are expected to carry into the New Year.
Surrey District councillor Robert Bisset admitted: "Dormans Park is a real mess. They are in the process of putting in sewers but it's a big job."
Tom and Katie - who are currently honeymooning on a yacht in the Maldives - bought the six-bedroom property so they could visit the British Scientology headquarters Saint Hill Castle, which is just 3 kilometres away.
The couple already own a Beverly Hills mansion and an eight-bedroom retreat in Colorado.

Who cares about how smelly it is.Tom probably won't let his new family live there till the smell has been taken care of.This is just something else for the tabloids to go on about!! I wish everyone would just live Tom and Katie alone!!!
heck....why doesn't he just pay to have someone fix it. Isn't that his answer to everything?
The councillor was right when he said it was a big job - lots of them from the smell of it!!!
And? Tom is smelly too...
If he likes to live in a smelly house then so be it

Shouldn't that be UNinhabitable? Or do you judge somewhere as fit to live in BECAUSE it smells?
