House-hunters puzzled as £699,000 home for sale only uses picture of CAMEL in online ad
AN ONLINE snap used to advertise a home for sale looks a little, er, deserted — except for a camel.
House-hunters have been puzzled by the Rightmove picture, which doesn’t feature the three-bedroom pad at all.

But the beast, named Camilla, is not even part of the sale.
