I presume they showed up to rob the place or to pressure him into paying for non-existent works then realising he was on his own and vulnerable decided to work their nomadic magic on him and steal the entire property.
Yeah. Nail. Head.

Blimey that is some discount. They are brilliant negotiators it would seem. With all that cash saved on a dream property i wonder why the son was out robbing old folk.
I do hope the authorities investigate and we do get to know the truth.
Well at least from the photos they seem to be looking after the place. At the rate they're going it soon will be worth what they paid for it. I do hope the authorities investigate and we do get to know the truth.
I drive a Taxi for a living in a seaside town and naturally we get our fair share of travellers here, over the weekend four guys got in my cab at the rank, one drunk the others not too bad, asked where they were going and quoted a price of £22.00 to them. The guy who was drunk called me a c**t and told me I will be getting £10.00 off them, me without thinking i just responded with
"well most people think your a bunch of c***s as well so we're in the same boat then" to be honest I instantly wished I hadn't said it but a guy in the just firmly patted my shoulder and "I like you fella" and just handed me £25.00 and off we went.
The rest of the journey was alright even had a bit of a laugh with them, maybe I got them on a good day who knows, to be fair most of the ones I've come across all seem to be old school with a bit of respect but I guess they're a dying breed now.
I know cool story bro and all that.

They are shooting at our late night buses now :angry:
Bus company is threatening to stop running late night buses. It's a very pleasant semi rural route, the buses are busy, even leaving Reading at 11pm. Just so happens all the attacks are happening yards from a permanent traveler site. But notice how no one mentions them...

Yeah don't ruin the narrative of "well most people think your a bunch of c***s as well so we're in the same boat then" to be honest I instantly wished I hadn't said it but a guy in the just firmly patted my shoulder and "I like you fella" and just handed me £25.00 and off we went.

scum dragging our country down into the mire. There are good ones out there too...I know quite a few travellers who are ok and actually benefit the community they lived in. Most of them had settled and had hilariously tacky but immaculately tidy homes with ridiculous gates and statues like a stately home.
I once had an engine replaced by a scrapyard, the engine which I'd supplied was no good. They took it back out, found a decent engine, fitted it and off their bat went after the bloke who sold me the dodgy engine and got me my money back.
I'm certainly not denying there are a huge number of thieving bds amongst the 'community', although weirdly I've found being on cordial or friendly terms with them helps enormously. I live right next door to a showman's winter pitch and you'd really never know they were there, they're polite, quiet and easy to get on with.

It was about a school with 1/3 of the pupils travellers.
They spoke to 2 mothers who both said their kids would not stay in school and go to secondary school.
The teacher was trying to justify why they come out of school.
Apparently some of them learn a trade, just a pity its not a legal one.
It was the smartest site that i have seen they are normally full of crap as they dont seem to use bins.
I was in my car last night and 4 came shuffling past me when i was sat in traffic.
When i moved up a bit one came scampering out of someones garden with a bag of what looked like scrap wire.
Just to keep the reputation alive
