Alice thinks she’s found the ideal flatmate….but will her Dad agree?
| Helen: | Dad, Khalid likes the room, and he wants to move in, but he wants to know if you can knock a bit off the rent. |
| Helen’s dad: | Helen, you know I can’t allow it. Everybody has to pay the same. |
| Helen: | I know dad, but we put the advert in the Gazette for 2 weeks, and he’s the only person who’s anywhere near suitable. It’s going to cost a fortune if you have to keep advertising. |
| Helen’s dad: | But why couldn’t you find anybody through the ad? |
| Helen: | I don’t know dad, I can’t make people call. All I know is, Khalid’s just right for the room, but if you want him to move in, you’ll have to let him have a discount. |
| Helen’s dad: | Well, I suppose I could let him have a small reduction. But what are you going to say to Alice and Tim? |
