An old furniture removal van, done up so that the back is a 1940s living room, but with ace sound system - a sofa (that becomes a bed, mind), arm chairs, carpet, wallpaper, standard lamp, sideboard, pictures on the wall, side tables; the lot.

In discussing with a friend, I would need to develop it to the point that I had a spiral staircase going out the side for access to the roof. During clement weather, we would sit up here of an evening in picnic chairs, with a table, perhaps a standard lamp, getting absolutely baked and watching the bands.

Or maybe a fish and chips shop where you have to climb on of those fucken things with handholds and you get a hat and probs crampons and you climb this thing to get to a little pond where you fish for your own fish to eat with your chips.
