Why do people have to sort everyone into boxes and presume they are better than everyone else. I am constantly amazed by things said by ordinary people in relation to others. If people were to live and let live the world would be a happier place. Call me anything you like as long as it is not late for dinner, but DON'T look down your nose at me (not aimed at Buttons before anyone complains).
Unable to walk far but still able to sit and look out of a window, watch the sea, the birds or people watching, why should I not, I pay car tax, insurance and MOT in full on two vehicles yet only do around 5000 miles a year, when in one vehicle the other is parked on private property so in effect I pay double that paid by non motorhomers yet often am afforded less opportunities to park.
That is not freeloading that is a denial of my rights to a normal life. I don't want to park on a campsite when on holiday. I do enough of that all summer providing a safe haven for those who prefer to do so.
It seems to me most people who complain about freeloaders are trying to shame people into paying to be someplace they don't want to be let alone pay for the privilege, it is not about ability to pay. (If they can afford a motorhome they can afford to pay! often quoted is a stupid way to look at things) It is just a way of insulting other people, not a nice trait for anyone to have.
inconsiderate or disgusting users maybe but not necessarily freeloaders in the true sense of the word. Parking by the sea to fish all night, or parking close enough to launch a kayak that cannot be carried miles by a disabled user. Is that freeloading? I would not say so yet we still get the label.Anything that causes councils to install restrictions like hight barriers or no overnighting. Thanks freeloaders you have reduced my motorhoming pleasure.
