Could try one of those websites the back-packers use - sofa surfing or something. Could get a Bob too in one of these places.

Hopefully said room will be adjacent to the shower and kitchen facilities, then I can cordon the whole area off with my 'DANGER: ASBESTOS CONTAMINATION. DO NOT ENTER!' tape.

Safer to stick with the van or some cardboard boxes, or as Tony suggested the supermarket bins.

More likely what will happen is that they'll put you up in a shelter full of druggies and mental cases, who will nick your stuff and stab you with HIV infected needles, and that's on a good night. That's why homeless people avoid those places.

There must be a grooming service available for the 'homeless' as you don't see them tripping over their beards.
That gives me another idea. Turn up at the nearest social services to the client and blag some free accommodation as "I've been kicked out by the landlord and have nowhere to sleep".
They usually put you up in a b&b or hotel when there's not a local hostel/refuge available. I'll book up all the cheap rooms then they'll put me up in the posh hotel.

M3 fooked all day because of two accidents
M4 fooked London bound because of rubber necking a Westbound accident & everyone using it to get around the M3 problem
M25 fooked & 3 lanes shut because some idiot decided to drive his or her car on its roof at junction 8 turn off
Dived off at the M25 @ J10 A3 to avoid the delays and fook me there was a multiple pile up on the A3 London bound
WTF was going on yesterday?
Clue - you were in the South of England
