As I said in my e-mail Mr Jones I’ve got this stuff I need to shift. The youngest is moving back home and we need the space. You can see I’ve collected some interesting items over the years. Take those windows back there, portals they are, programmed to take you anywhere in the universe. In fact, I’ve got one at the back that’s an entrance to a parallel universe. Then there’s my pride of joy, the lavatory. Straight from Hogwarts. Even comes with its own ghost. All yours for just £100 and I’ll throw in the bath for free.

If the youngest is coming back home, maybe they can use one of the windows to find a suitable living accommodation. As far as the lavatory goes, who wants to be haunted when in such a compromising position?

I should think the parallel universe could come in handy for the youngest…
