Does the gypsy have cake ?

Guy Gypsy sounds like a muppet character from one of their musical numbers.

So is there a car full, or a van load of 'em?

'White transit van by21' sounds like a limited edition version. Could be worth a bob or two.

No, we are built on marshland, we don't actually have a concrete foundation there is about a 4 ft drop into water if you lift our downstairs floor boards up, my garden is near enough underwater, so much so I had to install a pump system, even now the water is at patio height and the field is about 10" lower than our garden.
My mate who does the council mowing, they wont go in there for 8 months of the year as machines just get stuck after pushing bow waves out.

If you lift your floorboards, you look straight down 4 foot into water? What on earth?

It doesn't sounds like his house is on earth, sounds like he either lives in the Everglades or has mistakenly bought a narrowboat.

I love it how Tracey knows this

Couldn’t be there to fix the coffee machine, look at the computers, doing a theory test for some other licence, picking someone up etc

That's a very smart move given the scum and lunatics I've had to deal with when selling things on FB marketplace before.

It's more usual just to but a black circle over the face to disguise the owner. Cloning in the background makes it look like a still from a Hammer House of Horror special

Maybe, shock horror, the guy, you know, actually works there, or something radical like that?!

Exactly, I drove my car to that test centre to do my HGV theory and CPC.

Exactly. I drove by car to the test centre to take my motorcycle theory test.

I drove in a minibus to do my minibus (D1) Theory test.

(Grandfather rights, but to be able to sit next to aspirant D1 or D1+E drivers, I had to be tested not grandfather rights. I was turned away from my D1+E test by the examiner who claimed I couldn't sit the test. It took an hour of myself and ex Police traffic officer who also worked with me and was doing the same test arguing and many phone calls to DVLA for someone to confirm I was right and examiner was wrong.)

If the driver has gone there to do his Theory then why no L-Plates?

Admittedly crap parking though.....

As others have alluded to above, you could hold a car licence, but be there to take your bike/HGV theory test.

I kid you not, they are late 50's early 60's houses, they dig down and build a wall foundation like a conservatory, they then put beams across the span and then boarded over the top, I don't think I could get a anywhere up to show you a picture, the issue now we have with water is that as the floorboards rot away the washing machine tries to take off, and what most have done is pull the kitchen out, pull the boards up and fill it with concrete, this stops the bouncing around, but then it also displaces about 12cbm of water, which has to go somewhere, which is the field or our gardens, see the bottom pic, lifted the slab, that is the water table, but this is effectively what the foundations look like around here, they are called floating foundations I believe




This my garden at the moment, which sits higher than that field, this is the water table, unfortunately that is the joy of living on marshland and a floodplain, that water has to go somewhere or stay where it is, and as you can't really control water, they kept it where it is.

The test centre does numerous tests not just theory tests.
