All things aside, CamperVanMan's a little too cocksure for me.


I think he's lying. I don't know about what.


He has the arrogance of a smug schoolboy who's stolen some Kola Kubes and knows you can't 'get' him because he's stuffed them down his trousers and will cry 'paedophile' if you challenge him.


It wasn't 'my sister birthday' it was 'my little sister's birthday'. It's manipulative. He's trying to present himself as an angel. He's a bullshitter.


Since he tried to manipulate you with the 'little' the rest of what he says is worthless. He's demonstrated a willingness and capacity to deceive.

>:D< You tell 'em quids!


Also, has anybody who has become chums with TCVM asked him why he doesn't park nearer to/on the premises of his vehicle renting site in London Bridge?! It's a good half an hour/hour drive in rush hour and strikes me as illogical... Especially if he's got to do it every day?!

What an unusual analogy.


Are you speaking from experience?!

AND I notice he hasn't taken me up on the offer. I guess that tells me all I need to know about my neck of the woods. Can't even tempt a(potentially too smug) down on his luck van man. With or without a little sister.

This thread has amazed me firstly Ruby Shoes if I totally agree with where you are coming from but have you read 'The Lady In The Van' by Alan Bennett.


As a child I remember passing this amazing house in Camden (the posh part - Gloucester Terrace) and couldn't work out why a dirty old van was parked in the drive with a scary old lady inside. Years later when 'The Lady In The Van' was in the West End I pieced everything together. Mum confirmed it was Alan Bennett's house.

Not at all - I've never met you so how on earth would I know that! I meant that his attitude to a person living in a van outside his house is not the same as yours has been on this thread. But I don't want to spoil the play by saying much more. I hope you do love it though. I saw it performed with Maggie Smith, it was just genius.

I am now totally intrigued, will let you know how I find it. And FYI, Legalbeagle, I didn't think I'd have to end up saying this, but my initial post stating my disgruntlement over TCVM, well, maybe I was 'over-amplifying' my opinion somewhat. I am not all that bad, actually quite easy-going & open-minded about most things. I'll let you know how the read goes, I'm really looking forward to it now!!!

Well good for you for saying so. Enjoy the play and if it ever gets revived, DEF go and see it!

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For a while there was an unexpected glitch in planning laws that meant phone box operators (which is obviously mostly BT, but there were others) didn't need council permission to replace call boxes with small electronic billboards, so long as you could make calls from the billboard. I *think* the one on the corner of Croxted Rd and Park Hall Rd is an example of that. So the operators weren't always in a rush to remove the call boxes even when they didn't make any money on calls. I don't know if it still works like this. https://www.local.gov.uk/about/news/lga-call-crackdown-trojan-telephone-boxes-amid-900-cent-rise-some-areas

      It is just a witch hunt. The estate agent has taken responsibility. FFS leave the poor woman alone. ETA: And please  stop calling her Rachel. You don't call Starmer Keir.

      As said, why are you not eating humble pie for a non-story? I expect that scores of landlords are unaware or made mistakes in this territory.  And this is not just the Chancellor but a married couple.  It feels like you and others are taking joy in demonising her. The only question would be is the house suitable for renting out?  I expect it is, and if not that is up to Southwark to take action rather than keyboard warriors.  The only surprises are the expense of licensing - surely time for a thread on "is licensing a money maker for local authorities?".  I'm being facetious.  And that the cost of rental, which feels fairly reasonable based on this area. By all means go after rogue landlords.  Be my guest.  I was horrified to see some of the properties rented in London and beyond by family members.  Not all bad. Oh and another question.  Haven't I got better things to do than comment on this 'no story here' thread?  😁
