Bizarre advert offers free rent in exchange for 'wifely duties'

Sound fair?

THIS ADVERT WAS placed in a newsagent window in north-east London.

It’s offering free accommodation AND food – nothing to be sniffed at in these days of increasing rents.

And all in exchange for the low, low price of performing ‘all wifely duties’ for the author. But NO CHILDREN.

Wonder what ‘wifely duties’ are exactly?

We’ll say this for the guy: he knows his way around his coloured felt tip pen set, anyway.

Thanks Shane Hickey
