Part 1
W: Clarkson and Lylle, good
.
P: Oh, hi
. I saw your ad for a
on Oak Street.
W: Ah, yes, number
. It's just come on the
.
It's nice and
and very conveniently
- only about ten minutes
from the
.
P: Sure, but I need to know how much the
is. I'm on a
tight
.
W: Oh, very
, very affordable. So, the flat needs a
bit of
, you know, a good
and maybe a new coat of
.
P: OK, but everything
on the rent.
W: I
. So, when would you like to
the flat?
P: Erm, I can make
o'clock today but can you tell me
about the rent?
W: And the
is?
P: Paul, Paul
.
W: Splendid, Mr
. I'm William Lylle-that's
L-Y-DOUBLE-L-E- and I shall see you at 29 Oak Street at

Part 2
R: So, any
with the flat? What was it like?
P: It was a complete
of time!
R: How come?
P: Well, you expect flats to be
, but this was a joke.
You couldn't call it compact, it was just
. The kitchen was about half
the
of a cupboard.
R: Yes, but you have to
somewhere.
P: I know, but it wasn't just the
. There wasn't any
heating.
R: Mmm, a bit
then?
P: It wasn't chilly, it was
. And it's only April!
What would it be like in
?
R: Mmm, you're right. What about the
? Where is Oak
Street?
P: Down by the
. It's quite a nice
but not
very conveniently located. The
said it was ten minutes from the tube,
but it was more like
. And that's not all.. the
of the
place. The agent said it needed 'a bit of work' but it was completely
down. The
needed fixing and the bathroom and kitchen were really
.
R: So, how much was the (9) on this place?
P: The agent didn't tell me until I'd actually seen it - £
a month. It was supposed to be
but that's just overpriced. It's not
it.
R: No wonder you're not going to
it.
P: Hmm. It's a shame because I wanted to live by myself but I
think I'm going to have to try a
flat.
