A tenant with an unusual appendage:
"For sharing need to share with 1 person with attached toilet bathroom."
A heroic self-sacrifice from the current tenant:
"Basically I am young professional Male working as barista in central
London and would like someone a (FEMALE) to share the room with me,You
could have your own separate bed"
The tenants REALLY want to make sure you know where they are from:
"*** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY
*** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY *** CESKY
"
A flat with a lot a spare bedrooms?
"Being practising CHRISTIANS when boyfriends or girlfriends visit, we use separate rooms overnight.

How to save for a deposit whilst you are renting according to the press
I've noticed that newspaper articles about how to save for a deposit whilst you are renting seem to involve some rather dubious maths.
The Metro had a report this Friday entitled 'Renting is the new buiyng.' In it they say that the average rent for a 1 bedroom flat including bills is £19 140 in London whereas the average rent for a room in a flat share and bills come to £7 914. So that's a saving of £11 227. With such a big saving you could get a 15% deposit on a £282 00 flat in three years only.
Well firstly dear Metro, not everyone earns £19 140 once we've paid our taxes. And secondly, just saying that something is expensive so therefore not buying it SAVES you money is very bad maths. By that token I could say that a bottle of Moet and Chandon costs £197 at Tesco and by not buying myself one for my daily champers bath I save a massive £72 000.
