Mobile home on own land???

Love it love it love it....your replies have made me smile...like the bit about setting alight to the planning officers at the garden party and building a house underground with the wisteria thing especially!!!:T

If I get some beat up cars to distribute around the place, borrow some waifs and strays, not wash my hair for a bit, carve up some wooden mushroom sculptures (I already have the staffordshire bull terriers...) then I guess I will be a bona fide traveller anyway....lets do it!!!:j

So...next thread...how do I become an official traveller???!!!:beer:

Serious answer .... no fixed place of abode, no desire to have one and a firm intention of travelling around from place to place.

There is a difference between being homeless and being a traveller. Homeless means "you need and want" a permanent place of residence. Traveller means "you do not need and do not want" a permanent place of residence. However, because of the restrictions on placing mobile homes on the Public Highway or land without planning permission, then you are limited to travelling around authorised sites (where the length of stay is limited) or "transit/traveller" sites provided by the Local Authority.

We've had travellers - and homeless, in mobile homes - in our Parish over the past couple of years. Hence my experience on this particular topic

Don't pay council tax, don't pay income tax, don't pay NI, don't pay road tax, carry wads of £50 notes in all your pockets, exchange your staffi for a pit bull and don't get him registered, move your fighting roosters outside so they can be seen, knock on your neighbours doors telling them you will re pave their driveway for £300 and then charge £3000.:beer:
