Motorhomes

Especially for Mr Broderick, what's the market like for them in a recession?
A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.

    Bob, think you have hit a new money making scheme for me.
    What I will do is set up 20foot plots, do a little bit of landscaping and set up my very own trailer trash park.:rotfl:

    Strangely, I know several people who chose to live in vehicles rather than houses.

    I know a couple who, several years ago, lived in an amphibious jeep in Belize for eight years!! I can remember visiting them in their house when I was a teenager and they were ecstatic because they had a water supply. A single cold water tap in a belfast sink.

    My mate's brother, who has a first class honours degree from Cambridge and could probalby get a very good "normal" job, is a circus performer and travels around Europe in a campervan.

    There is a chap who lives in a motorhome near the park down the road from my house. He has a house about ten miles up the road but prefers it down here.

    I also knew a bloke in college who went through his course while living in a Morris Ambulance in the middle of a field.

    They are all extremely contented and happy people. Perhaps living in a motorhome is the way forward.

    HeHe Not something we specialise in but you have definitely hit on something there, Might buy a couple and stash em in the garage for when it hits, will be at a premium, maybe this analogy could have been used for the lady who said would you buy a £5,000 car for £20,000...
