Cornwall Council anounced today that they are opening 11 new sites for travellers.

Would you or have you ever stayed at one?.............after all we ARE travellers.

I visited one a few months ago to check for radon and my oh my, toilet blocks were smashed, baths taken out and rubbish everywhere................don't think I would risk it

I got to ask, why was you checking for Radon in a gypo site?

I wonder if they would mind me bringing along my shopping trolley and bicycle frame collection.

As its a council involved I am sure there will be a safe place for me to light a fire so that I can burn the plastic from the pick-up loads of wire I will have delivered.

Sounds great, can you find out about the costs involved, exactly how much will they pay me while I stay there

Hi Zaskar I think that you will be given a lot more than that!!!

Freedom to rob the surrounding properties, to create a completely disgusting mess that costs us the ratepayer god knows how much to clear away, also what seems total immunity from any police action for fear of infringing their 'Human Right's'

I pretty sure that Boo didn't mean to cause offence with his choice of words

, all I would say is just please be aware that Fulltimers are very sensistive to the use of this word, it gives the wrong impression about people who are pasionate about the countryside, care a great deal about it, simply want to lead life a different, more peacefull way...........AND MOST IMPORTANTLY are quite happy to abide by societies rules and are quite happy to pay our dues to society.
