Steve and Vicky Everson, from Bacup, Lancashire, transformed the first floor of their house into an aeroplane complete with a cockpit and flight deck.

This is the inside of my bathroom door. We bought one of those pressure assisted toilets a few years back, and we laughed...is sounds EXACTLY like an airline toilet! Then, we stumbled across this online, and had to buy it!

Yes, and I probably shouldn’t have mentioned it, or not even thought it, but that one picture of her and her tattoo, is startling.

If it is, then one of them has a problem.

When I saw that tattoo, I immediately thought of an old Twilight Zone episode "A Piano In The House" and the character played by Muriel Landers -

In it, she imagines herself as a ballerina and a snowflake.

So, there are even nuttier people out there prepared to stump up 75 quid for the priviledge of sitting on a seat upstairs behind someone dressed in a pilots outfit playing a computer game?

And when it comes time to sell? Who knows? - maybe an unsellable disaster, maybe people paying more for something unique.
