Live with me for free - but you must dress as a walrus

A man has offered someone the chance to live with him for free – as long as they dress up as a walrus.

The guy posted an advert on Gumtree stating he is prepared to put a roof over a stranger's head in Brighton, south east England, but they will have to wear the "realistic walrus costume" he has created for two hours every day.

He wrote: "Whilst in the costume you must be a walrus – there must be no speaking in a human voice, and any communication must entail making utterances in the voice of a walrus.

"[The lodger has] to catch and eat the fish and crabs that I will occasionally throw to you whilst you are being the walrus’ in order to qualify for a ‘spacious double room and complete run of the house’."

But the seller insists on auditioning applicants before allowing them to live with him.
