Yes, I am short

We have a lovely flat right up in the eaves of a block near the Manor Hospital in Oxford which has such restricted head height in the bathroom that even the current Chinese tenants have to sit down to have a shower.

I had a phone enquiry about the flat this evening and don't ask me how I ended up talking about height but I did and I had to tell the lady that it wouldn't be worth even looking at.

Perhaps she thought she was talking to a leckie who was being a bit cheeky so she sent this email follow up tonight.

"I called this evening to enquire after this flat, and was informed that my Fiancee might not fit. He is 6'5". I would appreciate it if you could keep me abreast of any new flats that are available with rents up to £900 a month"

We don't usually measure room sizes for lettings but I will have to raise my awareness of ceiling heights from now on.
