The owners of a number of flats in the UK have got together to form a management company. Part of their responsibilities is to set the rules of ownership. Is it possible for them to change the rules so that no tenant under 55 can move into the properties? Most of the owners are middle aged and are keen to maintain that balance, they are the landlord and directors of the resident's association.

They know they can change things like, no pets, noise, etc but can they change something as fundamental as this?

Is there a doctor in the house?

Listening to this story about hospital interns on NPR yesterday got me thinking about the practice of interns and residents working around the clock. What is the purpose of this? Is there a shortage of interns in this country that they need to work 80 hours a week? Or does this schedule supposedly prepare them for life as a physician? I know physicians are on call from time to time, but is it realistic to think they'd be working 24 hour days back to back on a regular basis? As the NPR story points out, what about the safety of the patients the interns are treating *now*? Is there a doctor here could can shed some light, or are they all too busy working to read MeFi?

LanguageFilter: Cypriot. Cairene. Dubliner. These are beautiful, and I'd like more. Name some favourite or exotic words denoting city of origin or residence. And what is the word for this type of word? Used as noun or adjective, doesn't matter. I'm having trouble with a Google search for what these words might be called, so if anyone knows, do share.
