Re: Wild Camping. Ok that will be £20
I agree, and agree with the writer too.
It occurs to me that perhaps there could be a charge for car parking, but the self propelled go free.
I have always been keen on the clandestine camp, especially when I was on the dole. £20 is ridiculous.

It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Won't someone think of the poor land barons! Why should the poor have any concept of freedom?

Surely the socially deprived would be happier hanging around a subway sniffing glue and selling crack .... as they do here in Rotherham ...

You remind me of the Mass Trespasses of the Thirties.

It sometimes seems that there is a conspiracy to make sure nothing is free, and everything comes with a charge.

Can you explain the irony? I fail to see any. Maybe he is trying to be funny?

I was using the word in the modern way. I have given up fighting usage.

Hats off to you. I'm calling in a favour with my sister in law to help with the spring this weekend.
We are fairly lucky down here. Apart from the smell of weed occasionally, the drugs seem to stay in clubs. Drink seems to be a much bigger issue.
