  1. No it’s not, I’ve locked the keys away, I’m in my boxers and T shirt, I live in this camper and have no intention of driving until tomorrow. Sleeping in the back of a car might put you on stony ground, you don’t get a NFA if there’s a problem. If I was sat there with the keys in the ignition, that might be a different story.
  2. Problem is, if I start I’ll run me mouth. Best for me to stay calm and collected these days. I knew apart from a bit of weed they’d got nothing on me. There was no point kicking up.
  3. Personally I’d go petrol, although my ex neighbour had one of the kinetic electric ones that seemed to work well.
  4. How charming.
  5. Yeah, they wanted to see where the keys were, the herb wasn’t hidden, it was on the passenger seat. What people don’t understand is, I don’t care anymore. I used to, but not now. Talking to the officer who took me back to the van, I said, only this retarded country worry about a bit of weed these days.
  6. I gave them no lip mate, when I got to speak to the duty solicitor she said they’ve got nothing, apart from the weed on you, she’d already spoken to the duty Sargent/officer.
  7. I agree to a certain extent, but when I’ve got the drivers seat facing to the back and in my boxers and night shirt it’s fairly obvious I’ve no intention of going anywhere. Over zealous, that, imo is why they give it a NFA.
  8. The duty officer said, you must be the unluckiest bloke in Staffordshire, parked in the middle of nowhere and get arrested by the rural team who were out looking for badger baiters. It did raise a smile.
  9. I didn’t neither, but looking into it, it’s down to the driver/owner to prove they had no intention to drive. Funny when we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
  10. I’ve got one, and the keys, apart from the habitation door were in it, I think that’s what saved the day, and got me the NFA.
  11. Parked down the lane when the rural policing unit comes by at 3:15am, drunk in charge of a motor vehicle, and possession of cannabis. Got a caution for the weed; and a NFA for the drunk in charge. Talk about a waste of police time! Bonus was they did give me a lift back to the van.
  12. I haven’t been keeping up, thought you’d curled ya toes.
  13. Missed you by a mile mate, I’ve been busy but missed you.
  14. Where’s @Stubby, I’ve been absent myself, but where’s arl fella?
  15. Fair play, now I’ve thought about it, it’s Mill lane?
  16. I understand the use of culverts, but why plug holes? I needed to drain a pound on the Rochdale to cut a spring mattress off the prop, seemed easy enough.
  17. Didn’t know about Bollington, was it a breach that caused the whirlpool?
  18. Like many, but not enough of the bridges it’s been restored. No need for iron wearing strips now.
  19. Yep, towpath changes side, no need to untie the horse.
  20. One I know, but why ya reckon this canal bridge was built like this. It’s bridge 77 on the Macc before ya cheat!😀 the picture tells it all.
  21. @maybelateron did I pass you on Mill Road the other day, 2 trucks with private plates on, one with Oak, the white one following had Kev on it?
  22. Brilliant! The same dates I’m going to meet a mate and his wife in York. I’m out.
  23. People don’t understand, it’s a job on its own, does the freedom outweigh it, imo it does.
  24. I’m getting too old for it, it sounds glamorous living in a camper but it’s hard work on the road in winter. Normally I’d pull on somewhere but prices are mad, I spoke to a bloke in Mow Cop, lovely place, but he wanted £600/month to pull my trailer on. Our mortgage doesn’t cost that!
  25. Sold, gone halves with our kid on another apartment, flat to to you and me. Although the camper is good I’m not doing another winter on the road.
