For Gawd's sake, don't put it in Darren's reserved space.

most of the people on this forum could easily put it in the disabled spaces

A camper van? Pile 'em high.

Some ideas to work on here as well.

A fair bit if you parked a classic camper and rented it out via airbnb.

What return would you get on that as a BTL?

I didn't realise a few things. 6 bottles on a shelf is a secret bar and a small house oop north can be "worth" over a £1m !!!

The gambling commission have some pretty clear guidance on this

AFAICT, it's laughably easy to workaround this.

How do you mean? The gambling commission have some pretty clear guidance on this which is generally about making it hard enough to out a good number of people off and excluding them from winning then they do enter. They state crosswords and spot the ball as skill based. They state catagorically that a general knowledge question or something that can be found in Google won't do.
All the competitions on this site fail this test so cant be deemed anything but an illegal lottery. They don't have a free entry route either so they are slam dunk caught.

Just a matter of time before someone loses some money, a complaint goes in and it gets shut down with a flurry of media around it.

Travellers aren't a race, Romany Gypsies are! Frequently confused as they tend to behave similarly.

They are both ethnic groups. You're still a racist. HTH

Friend of mine bought a house in london area 3 years ago. Renovated the whole thing: ripped the carpet and put laminate flooring (ok laminate is utter sh1te but still an upgrade from carpet), installed new boiler/smart heating system, redid the deck and back garden.

Managed to sell the house by a miracle and way below asking price (asking price was 15% more than what he paid). Taking into accounts selling price and renovation costs, I don't think he broke even.

London is finished.

At least he got half of it - the broke part

[vetran]

He "renovates driveways" and "he lives at a separate property"... could be a driver of a Tipper transit?

Caravan?

[vetran]

FTFY

Anything to ensure he escapes living over the Kebab house!
