Free B&B for walrus lodger sounds fishy

A LANDLORD is offering free bed and board to a lodger if they dress up as a WALRUS for him.

Advertising a room in his gaff in Brighton, E Sussex, the retired gent explained he’d spent three years on St Lawrence Island, off Alaska, where he made friends with one of the marine mammals.

He posted on internet site Gumtree: “Leaving the island I was heartbroken for months. I have been making a realistic walrus outfit. You must be prepared to wear the suit for approximately two hours each day.

“While in the walrus costume you must be a walrus – there must be no speaking.

“Other duties will involve catching and eating the fish and crabs I will throw you.

“Other than playing the accordion my tastes are easy to accommodate.”
