Virgin is supposed to have really poor customer service too. Generally only becomes a decent deal when you sign up for tv, phone too. Who's your mobile provider? I'm with o2 for my mobile, I also use their broadband and it's been great. Also cheap because I'm already a customer. Orange do something similar....

Yeah, did all that. It wasn't the first time they'd visited there that night so they were laughing at them basically. It finally ended just before 5. I'm just glad that I live on a different road, about 100m away. With windows shut (double glazed) I could still hear every word the guy was shouting down the mic. Imagine the poor guys living next door. Part of me almost admires the sheer brazenness of it all. I mean if you're going to throw a party, and all that. The other 98% of me just thinks: what selfish tossers.

Anyone else enjoying the delights of the shite MC who's decided to turn Tyrell Rd into the Notting Hill carnival at 4 in the sodding morning?

Just out of interest, what's your chosen method for gaining entry once you've found a property?

A man walks into a petrol station and says "Can I please have a KitKat Chunky?" The lady behind the till gets him a KitKat Chunky and brings it back to him. "No," says the man, "I wanted a normal KitKat, you fat bitch."

Jesus Christ in a romper suit! That's awesome, where can I get one?

How about "Chocolate Egg binge Friday" followed by "self Loathing Monday"?

Someone tried to nick my exhaust a few weeks back. They managed to get 3 bolts out, parked in my front garden too. You can buy alarmed disc locks which go of if the bike is moved or wobbled.

Doesn't wood have natural anti-bacterial qualities too? Another good quality...

So Cheekymonkey, it's ok to make BS assumptions about people based on outward appearance, eg tax dodgers etc. And because other people might actually be thinking this too, it also makes you a legend.

It's not a flogging. It's certainly not meant to be serious. Perhaps re-read my previous posts and explain how I'm being inconsistent.

Don't mean to piss on anyones chicken kiev, but it is so SO comical to watch all the so called "daily mail" types who laughed at the so called "liberal antagonists" who were back-tracking (even though they weren't) now start to soften their stance now they've realised that these 'travellers' (can't say human beings on this forum without setting off a lynch mob) aren't quite the tax dodging, sponging, engine revving types they were thought to be.... "Oooh just go round a take them an organic bulgarwheat cupcake and casually enquire about their tax status" No one suggested that. People (myself included) suggested going round to talk to them direct. Looks like if more common sense and less curtain twitching and moaning on here had been applied, this highly amusing, little Englander farce would have been exposed as the storm in a tea cup it's alsways been. Agree with KK too.

We used this place for steel splashback, pretty good value: http://www.kitchen-surplus.co.uk/ We have a walnut work top and its been fine keeping it in good condition.

Jimmyraj - I think I would pay to see it!

My point is this: don't suffer in silence. If you're concerned, introduce yourself and explain why. I don't think rubyshoes' concerns are unreasonable, but talking to them direct will solve the issue quicker than this forum. @pearson: if I was sat in my vehicle and someone started banging on it and rocking it, I'd consider it aggressive. Just ask Charles and Camilla.

You don't have to be interested in anyone's story or want to befriend them. What you might want to choose is talking to them man to "man" and voice your genuine concerns like an adult, instead of going down the aggressive and childish route you seem to be advocating.

......or you could knock on their door, introduce yourself, ask how long they intend to stay, what their "story" is etc.. Or..yeah, on second thoughts, just start "banging on the side and rocking the van until they pushed off". Nice one.

Can't believe they have the audacity to actually own a van and a BMW. I mean, what's the world coming to? Next they'll be wanting to wear nice clothes or eat in nice restaurants - how dare they?

Hindmans Rd or Tyrell Rd by any chance?

Surely talking to the owners is the obvious thing to do in the first instance?
