Come on admit it......

Come to think of it, I don’t believe I’ve ever even seen a cockroach in the UK before *puke emoji*

TBF those don't look like cockroaches either.

They look like brown crickets. Often used by keepers of reptiles and notorious for escaping containers when live.

They seek out warm environments so a PC case is a prime location.

This is probably the correct answer to be fair.
 
Eugh. I meticulously clean anything before I send it off or sell it. Even 1 stray hair would make me feel like a disgusting slob. I guess some people are just comfortable with their living situation that they don't even see a problem with it - it's just normal. Mind boggling.
 
What everyone else said

I was blissfully unaware of cockroaches being a notable thing in the uk but those insects do look like crickets:

Probably a reptile keeper as those are just crickets can tell by how big the back legs are. Easy enough for them to escape and you not notice a few got out. A mate has a bearded dragon and keep crickets for food, those things are silly quick when they want to be.

My previous job was tech support and we brought customer PCs back in for repair. One desktop PC belonged to a smoker. Took the side off the case and it was black and sticky inside with tar. No wonder the thing didn't boot.

Video contains one swear word, which given the circumstances is surely acceptable
Linking to a Youtube video with swearing:
We're trying to be more flexible, whilst we'd rather you didn't link to a site or a video with swearing, if there is some depending on how blatant and frequent it is we will either a) leave it b) delete the link. Worst case scenario will be if the content is deemed unacceptable or the post is purposefully trying to circumvent the swear filter; either to make a point or be funny or just that the poster did not take time to check how suitable the link is. In this case action may be taken.
