Separate Moan Thread About The Election

I had a problem few years ago, Where I was to loose my house that I bought sixty years ago
(Finished mortgage eight years ago) Golden wedding day divorce ? Was my gift from her!

I searched everywhere and all I could afford was a seven year old static caravan thing
Next problem was, You could only buy from the site itself, you could only sell from the site itself and any static over ten years old was to be scrapped by the site and replaced by yourself
Then the smaller problem of £5k a year for site fee's, grass cut, rubbish removal and black water

I managed to keep my house even though all my pension fund had gone to the lady,?

I am managing fine now, Though I must admit Gentlemen, it is bloody hard work to keep and maintain a home, cleaning, cooking, and getting the shopping for groceries and haberdashery in
:-)

 

Anybody else wondering about the environmental footprint of these elections. With all the travelling around candidates do, the number of flyers, posters and leaflets many of which go straight in the bin.

 

If there is a good school near them Pete they will be used as accommodation addresses to get there kids into it. This was happening when I lived in an OAP area in Ayrshire. This jacks up prices.

 

I would like to know what Labour is going to do about crime, which is our biggest concern down our road.

I heard yesterday that our neighbour 4 doors away had their two cars stolen. Masked men turned up on motorbikes.

They accessed the back of the bungalow and threw a boulder through their bedroom window as they slept. They entered the bedroom and demanded the keys.

Both cars had trackers and were later recovered in a nearby rough area.

My neighbours are now having to install smash proof glass in their windows.

Another neighbour has had 2 caravans stolen, the latest was recovered down in Essex on a gypsy site, because it had a tracker.

But the level of violence is increasing and we thought we lived in a good area.

 

Restrictions tend to be, over 50's only, no children, except when visiting.
I would say nobody on the site originates from the area, most will have purchased the property outright, with some having enough equity leftover allowing them to retire. A couple did work for me part time, now retired, they also purchased right out.

I would say, very few will have needed to take out a mortgage, anyone that did, it probably wasn't much. Very few that I know on the site work, the ones that did was probably to keep them selves occupied rather than for financial reasons.

Site fees on these sites will vary, location and size of plot. The ones on the two links I provided vary from £ 140/250 pcm. The larger the dwelling, garage and garden size, the higher the site fee. Also higher fees can also be down to where it is sited, some on the site in our village will have a lovely view of the Irish Sea, with a more open area compared to the other ones.

 

I agree. The problem is any party not on the side of the wealthy could never get voted in. And if by some miracle it did, regime change would be swiftly organised. The moneyed have all the power effectively. Wherever in the world a party on the side of ordinary people has risen to power, it has been quickly quashed, sometimes from within (with outside help) and sometimes with more blatant meddling (assassinations, coups, invasions).

What's all this static caravan stuff on this thread!

 

Housing crisis related.

 

@Banana Man I don't know you well enough to tell if you're joking. I hope you are.

 

If Farage is what we have to look forward to, we are doomed, but it might solve the population crisis, people of talent would be queueing to leave.
Care homes would close overnight, over 70% of staff are foreign.
No idea how we would staff the NHS, on my ICU, nearly 40% of staff were from overseas, and all our recruiting was done from abroad, no one suitable in the UK.
I don't hate many people, ex NDN and then Farage.
