Well, I've just sold my old snotter to a bunch of travellers for them to use as a field car.
They turned up at the time they said they would, spent 2-3 minutes looking around the car, another minute or two checking the details on the V5 matched those on the car, started it up, the test drive was all of 1/4 mile, paid the agreed amount in cash, filled out the paperwork and left.
The whole thing took all of 10-15 minutes, they were polite and courtious and it was by far the easiest car selling experience I've ever had.
You wait until you get all the parking fines etc coming through your door!!They turned up at the time they said they would, spent 2-3 minutes looking around the car, another minute or two checking the details on the V5 matched those on the car, started it up, the test drive was all of 1/4 mile, paid the agreed amount in cash, filled out the paperwork and left.

Merc just drove into the back of a paving van outside our local camp site. Drove past, nobody in any vehicles, one guy standing by the car. I cam back 20 minutes later and there were 3 ambulances and one police car. Strange.....
Crash for cash scam. Maybe the next replacement to dodgy tarmac & roofs?EazyDuz said:

What's a field car?
A car that is mainly used in fields. Field car, it's got to be their version of the council estate scrotes' 'community car'. You used to see them all the time on those Police Community Action Traffic programmes. Some scrote driving an untaxed, uninsured heap of grot is stopped, after a time wasting, who are you, have you got a licence, where is the insurance, oh all my documents are at my Grandma's caravan in Cleethorpes malarkey, they get down to the nitty gritty, get the car on the back of a recovery truck off to the crusher. The last you see is chummy, downtrodden wife, and assorted sprogs tottering off down the road carrying various plastic bags of shopping / proceeds from shoplifting (delete as appropriate), presumably now looking for a bus stop. Very broad brush being wielded, admittedly, but truth hurts, sometimes the cap fits and all that.

To them that means any place really
Ive had a tale of woe dealing with them lately, but Im not going into that!
Talking to someone the other day, Chap advertised a caravan in the local free ads - £400, stating it needs a few bits doing but otherwise usable. Set of travellers turn up, spend 20mins pacing about looking at the caravan and anything surrounding it, pay the asking price and leave... Happy days!
The following day, chap gets a call from said traveller, saying the caravan wasn't right and he wanted his money back (What did he expect for £400?!) Chap says, no bother, bring it back and I'll give you your money. But no, traveller saying he's going to keep it as he's spent a fortune fixing it but still wants all of his money back. Chap politely tells him that isn't the way it works, two hours later chap has x3 Irate, abusive and intimidating travellers on his doorstep making non-direct threats, implying what may happen if they didn't get their money back.. Needless to say, chap handed over £400 for the safety of his cars, windows and family's safety...

Etc. t bags who can fk off back to Ireland got a few a mile up the road again. they have been given a portaloo and a skip to use. Genuinely considering calling the local council tomorrow asking to have a skip delivered FOC to my house as I have a load of waste to take to the tip and ill be paying £85 a ton otherwise. Utter joke as per usual.

Please do that and let us know if you manage to get to the end of the request before they say"No"! 
Loads and loads round here over the last 2 weeks. (Reading area). Had a lot of police helicopters going around at night too.
- Invaded a kids indoor play centre. Usual bullying, thieving, spitting and stink. The play centre closed about half an hour after there arrival 11:00 am ish... Travellers wouldn't leave and cops had to attend. they spent the next 24 hours disinfecting and straightening the place out.
- One of the local shops carparks was taken over, the shop had to close because so much stuff was getting nicked. Strangely, a lot of lampposts in the car park have lost their electrical covers and a lot of wires inside them appear to have been cut.
- The local park was taken over, took a LARGE police presence to evict them.
Just been looking at the local papers trying to find something to link... It appears they are not really covering "Traveler" related storeys this year.
