It was a bugger setting the tent up.

Mrs RC & I spent a few months renting out-of-season static caravans on a really nice caravan park in the East Midlands. I was in a rolling 1 month contract and the nearby hotels were expensive & crap. The 6 or 8 berth caravans we got were cheap, clean, comfortable and in a really nice setting.
I can see the appeal in being 'trailer trash' if the location is right.
Anyway, is Tent City still going in Acton? I couldn't believe that place when I saw it in the 1990s. I've been to the Stonehenge solstice when 40,000 were there, and I've been to a Scouts International Jamboree, but I'd never seen anything for high-density accommodation like Tent City ... and people in city suits with briefcases entering & leaving.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

If I were working in London I'd be looking at sleeping in a van before a camp-site, which close in winter anyway. Presumably there are places one could park up on the road outside the pay zone and hop on to a bus or into the underground.Comment
