If Paul is sleeping on the sofa, two things come to mind......

Firstly, is the sofa at least a four seater.....?

Secondly, why does Helen need to clean her room.....???? ;) ;)

the glass fronted display cabinets stretch the whole side of the hanger, I only took shots of 2 of them, they also have about 12 free standing notice boards covered both sides with photos, letters, newspaper cuttings etc....
