It’s not fair, is it?

I'd heard in the past about large communities of people in Bristol living in vans. Since my foray into the world of campervans having made my own I've looked at quite a few facebook groups, vanlife UK, vanlife cornwall. Initially it seemed to be a social thing, organised rallies and meets but the more I read, the more staggering it becomes just how many people are living in vans full time. There are a minority who have opted for a simpler lifestyle, sold their houses and bought a van, they've bought freedom. But it's alarming how many tens of thousands are living in vans because they simply have no other choice.

Bloke who runs my local is early 70s. When he retired from the pub he bought a really nice motorhome with double rear axle. Completely self contained with gas ch and hot water, solar panels, etc, etc. Quite luxurious inside. Went up onto the Bristol Downs and lived there for a couple of years. Said there were all sorts living up there - people like him with £40,000 motorhomes, down to those living in old PO Trannys. His neighbour was early 80s with a massive dog and wife in van. Three doors along was a girl in her 20s who went out dressed smartly every morning to her office job. She lived in a motorhome because she couldn't afford a flat and didn't want to be in a grotty bedsit.

My landlord did a couple of years of this, then came back to run the pub again. All this is going on while we're renting thousands of houses, some councils even buying them, for the millions of male migrant spongers who arrive here. Politicians = traitors.

It wasn't under false pretences we had a bet then he deleted his account
Did he accept the wager?
How do you know he deleted his account and wasn't involuntarily removed?

To claim that you won the wager, you'd have to provide proof on both questions. Can you?

But as he is no longer a member here, what is the point in bringing it up repeatedly?
According to the search function. he doesn't exist and never has. So are you talking bunkum?

I'm not worried about it. I'm trying to see why you and others keep mentioning it.
Of course, I am concerned about your lack of funds, not mention about your poor education levels.

You dont have to worry about my bet with Tomww....

And for my lack of education I've got plenty of cash so stop worrying mate....
 
if you mean people who arrived by small boat to claim asylum, the figure is 190,000


are you saying politicians are running the gangs that have been bringing in people by small boat from France
Trying to have a discussion with a prejudiced idiot is like trying to drive a car without wheels. It ain't going anywhere soon.

I'm not worried about it, but you keep mentioning it, and it piques my interest.
In case I ever meet him, I want to know whether he is trustworthy ort not. So far you and Highway Man keep accusing him of being untrustworthy. That is sufficient to suggest to me that he is trustworthy, and it's you and Highway man who is not trustworthy.

I haven't called you untrustworthy? Are you alright mate?
 
Why? Doesn't seem to bother anyone else....
Oh it does. Fillstine, Highway Man and MWN67 have contributed to the discussion. Maybe others also.
I'd like to get to the bottom of it, so i can make an informed assessment of who is trustworthy, and who is telling lies.
