I'm staying in an old priory that's used by a varied collection of catholic priests, welders, police dog trainers and pilgrims. 40 euros per night plus 10 euros for a three course meal in the evening, very clean and comfortable; can't complain really.

Have you seen the old motor home in The Ship carpark? It's usually in there about 8am when I cycle past, but it's gone on the way home. Always in the same spot, with a view from the windscreen over the bay. it's been there a few weeks now, but not seen it at weekends.Comment

I cycle past at 8 too. I'll have a look tomorrow. The pub probably lets him pitch up there on the understanding that he uses them for his evening meals etc.Originally posted by anonymouse View PostHave you seen the old motor home in The Ship carpark?

Yes, but I've shared glasses of wine with one of them a few times; fascinating chap, very down to earth, who was a priest in the army for a while and witnessed the war in Yugoslavia first hand, and shortly afterwards found himself working in Rwanda with orphans of the genocide. He doesn't rattle on about religion, says the vatican has always been too obsessed with telling adults what they should or shouldn't do in bed with each other and sees his 'calling' as simply trying to get people to be a bit nicer to each other. He's giving courses in conflict resolution nearby at the moment.

No, I don't use Billy. I'm just off the main road, right at the top of the Island.
I worked with a contractor who had a VW Campervan and parked on site, until security caught him crossing the carpark in his dressing gown, going for a shower. They asked him not to do that again, so he got dressed first, but they allowed hime to stay on site though.Comment

Hmm...Originally posted by wurzel View Post.. Now it's a caravan on Hayling Island (gig in Havant).

Many caravan sites jack it in for the winter, due to lack of demand. But presumably you've checked that.Originally posted by wurzel View PostHouse shares with circus clowns & white witches.... Now it's a caravan on Hayling Island (gig in Havant). Its alright actually. Only 90 quid a week - all mod cons & I get free tickets to the "entertainment". Can't wait to see what tomorrow night's adult cabaret is all about....
Anyone know the area?
The snag with being based on Hayling Island, if you're working on the "mainland" is that causeway in the rush hour.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

You see that a lot here but it tends to be middle aged women who charge you €50 to stick your old man in a bucket of fish heads.Originally posted by anonymouse View PostHave you seen the old motor home in The Ship carpark?
