For those of you who are interested, I've found a few follow up letters on the local papers' website since the article in the OP first appeared.... Height restrictions cutting off a good source of income Wednesday, April 17, 2013, 07:00 . RE your front page in the East Lindsey Target...

I too have used this "bottle-trap" method (but without the yeast) very successfully for many years to deal with wasps and other flying insects around my fruit trees. I get equally good results (for wasps) by using old jam or coffee jars with small holes in the lid, one-third full of sugary...

Tut-Tut....... I can't believe that New Rover took his eyes off the van for long enough to let the murderer (sorry, little old lady) drive it away without him seeing! Next time anything like this happens, we need to send a posse of wildcampers to the scene to keep a 24 hour vigil! (Which...

If you can find something suitable to pay your day to day expenses, you could then try keeping a detailed journal and taking plenty of photo's as you go along. After a few years you could write a book about all the adventures you've had, and hope that the sales pay for your next adventure...

Why settle for a Knighthood? "King Arthur" has a certain ring to it! Whatever title is bestowed on him, I hope he doesn't have to buy his own drinks for many meets to come. I'd say that most people here would be happy to keep his glass topped up for him!! :cheers:

I was going to suggest this too, especially the drop-shipping angle (not that I've tried it myself), so you've saved me some typing! Hope it all works out for you! PS. There seems to be an opening in the double-skillet market, if you can find yourself a wholesaler or manufacturer (remember it...

I use a pressure-washer and a trampoline. :)

It's a shame that the police didn't seem very helpful, or even interested, but at least you've tried. It would be embarrassing for them if she did appear in the headlines in the coming weeks, although I really hope that doesn't happen. As suggested, I would definitely leave a clear note under...

I've ordered one of those books too. I like the pic of the classic camper, based on a PROPER van!! :):)

Good post Tanera, worthy of a thread of it's own, though I think a lot of the points have been mentioned at times in the past. I try to be conscious of the locals when I park up anywhere, and I find that using the smaller shops and local services actually adds to the interest for me. I have...

Hovis?? :)

I don't see why not Hippy, but it will depend on the skill of the operator of course! Is that how you keep your coffee warm overnight?? :):)

I bought one of these last year and it was delivered within a week or two. It does everything that she claims and I find it very versatile. She might only have them produced in small batches depending on orders, and not have a large amount of them in stock? The poor response to emails or phone...

Sounds like Hugh-Fearnley-Wotsisnames' "Gastro-Wagon", although he slept on the roof...........:) hugh-fearnley-whittingstall-gastro-wagon.flv - YouTube

Are you sure you didn't enter a prize-draw to win a motorhome before you went away? But seriously, as a few of us have said, it shouldn't hurt to get the police involved to check up on her welfare. They have plenty of ways of tracing her quite quickly, especially if the vehicle documents are...

If it was the same lady, it would've been thoughtful of her to drop a note through your door if she planned to leave it there for a while, just out of courtesy.

I don't want to sound morbid, but can you see inside the van to make sure that her and the dog aren't in there, overcome by CO fumes or something? (Sorry to sound negative, but that's what I always used to check first with abandoned vehicles). Otherwise, so long as the van is legal and also...

Well I don't want to be a tell-tale Marie, but I'm sure it was your Autosleeper that parked next to me this afternoon in Llanberis!! :drive: The young couple seemed to be enjoying themselves, and their six kids and four dogs in the back seemed to be having a very jolly old time in there...

Before giving up on it completely, I'd be tempted to take it to one of those helpful members on here who have offered to help. At least then you would have an idea of the cost of the welding and repairs needed, which would help you to decide where to go from there? If you're worried about...

My OP wasn't meant to sound so judgemental, so please don't shoot the messenger. :cry: Last week was the first time that I'd been in that area for quite a while, and that newspaper headline jumped out at me when I called in one of the shops. (I even spent 50p of my own money to buy a paper...
