Fisheruk Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I drove by there yesterday and noticed the Puffin. Will definitely call in next time and have a coffee and bite to show him some support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I loved the bit from Paddy Doherty - invite them in for a drink and agree to let them stay for a few days. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Paddy Doherty - appeared on Celebrity Big Brother - I didn't watch it. He's not been in the news recently - usually brawling in the street - so he probably felt the need to raise his profile, by commenting on Mr Williams-Ellis.

Matty7247 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does make me wonder how they can afford all these new 4x4's and caravans? Well played to the bloke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does make me wonder how they can afford all these new 4x4's and caravans? Well played to the bloke! Some of the caravans someone else may have afforded. There was a case where Kent police refused to get a caravan back from the itinerants dwelling in it as it would make them homeless, despite someone else having proof it was stolen. Kent police said that the current occupiers had given them a receipt for it, the receipt was on a piece of paper torn from a note pad for far less than the van was worth. If that was you or I the van would have been seized and a hard luck mate advisory given! In case anybody accuses me of making it up! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2381292/Police-wont-hand-stolen-caravan-couple-protect-human-rights-travellers-living-it.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2385116/A-stolen-caravan-Travellers-human-rights-And-betrayal-makes-blood-boil.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrM Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Does make me wonder how they can afford all these new 4x4's and caravans? Talking to a sales guy in our local Audi dealership, he had a member of the travelling fraternity show up and pay cash for two brand new Audi R8's (£100k each)!

Yes then he is being called upon to make a judgement call, notify the police to investigate under the Proceeds of Crime act or merely to get a fat load of commission....

Someone did that near Harrogate when the peace camp campaigners from Menwith Hill would not move from his fields. Apparently, they smelled better after spreading them before.

Yes, I was under the impression transactions comprising of cash in such amounts weren't allowed. I am not saying sales guy from the Audi dealer is lying, but I am struggling to believe a dealership would accept 200k in cash. Sorry. Oh and I thought R8's were about the 75-80mark? I have had much smaller amounts than that refused in places more likely to take large sums of cash. Sounds a bit jack a norey to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit jack a norey to me lol Must admit it did sound kinda strange, but the point was they bought two R8s not on any form of finance (how they actually paid I don't know). But then you do see brand new Mercs etc on traveller sites, and they are more than £10k! R8s range from £93k for the "base" model up to £126k for the top ones. From what I understand if your are business that accepts cash amounts over £11/£12k you have to register as a High Value Dealer with HMRC especially the motor trade - all down to money laundering. Didn't mention tow bars, but ... Edited October 14, 2015 by MrM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 A pair of R8s with All Terrains on then - how cool would that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 This has been done before-only better. If you ever drive thru Waddesdon towards Aylesbury in Bucks then just outside the village, at the bottom of the hill, is a layby blocked by manure-pretty sure there is also one the other side of the road. More than 40 years ago a certain Willy Hunter (landowner) gave the travellers 24 hours to vacate these layby's as things were going missing from his farm. After 24 hours he drove a caterpillar earth mover to the layby nearest his farm and waited-when no-one moved he simply pushed the nearest van into the ditch-occupants and all after which his problems quickly disappeared-he then blocked the layby's off with manure-they may have been cleared by now but they were blocked last time I passed about 4 years back. Strange how things have changed-he would most likely get time for such deeds nowadays-on the other hand he was not a man to be messed with-not even by the boys in blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
