I'm sorry to hear that, I hope things work out well for you.

I've long predicted this is what's going to happen, and I see more and more people taking this route as a last resort.

Very sorry to hear that things have gone tits up for you

But I have to say that the lifestyle you are choosing is starting to look quite appealing to me too..It is starting to sound like an idylic lifestyle TBH!

Can I just Sell my house, drive my 'company' (me) into the ground, buy a motorhome and sign on the dole as a roving unemployed person? Infact maybe I should get a freind to buy a motorhome and rent it to me, as the government would pay for my rent....



The only downside is, where would the Scamera Partnerships send my speeding tickets too? Problems problems...

Here's the SP&L bit.

Also no road tax or insurance nor MOT to bother about. No worries about speeding or parking fines etc, etc. Keep an angle grinder handy for clamps, a sawn-off to repel borders. Be great if our climate was like OZ then I think I would drop out as well and live by a beach
