      This is it in a nutshell! The Government is NOT on our side. They have a plan to steer us in a certain direction and are making sure they cut off all the 'escape routes' (van life being one of them). The 15 minute Cities are the plan for all of us, all well documented and even being trialled in certain areas.

    Hi James, I always used to fill up and move to the side before I paid in the petrol station until one day in Lewisham (London, I live close by) this bloke who worked there came charging out being really aggressive accused me of attempting to drive off without paying. He pushed me so I decked him, ended up in the police station accused of assault and bailed to appear at court. When the police finally reviewed the CCTV from the petrol station the charges were dropped against me. When I told the police "Right, you've dropped the charges against me but now I want you to pursue charges against him". They said "Oh no we can't do that he works there, that's the price you pay for being polite". Can you imagine, You can't win James

      That was one over keen employee! I, forgetfully, drove off without paying one day, I realised when I was nearly home 20 miles away, I phoned them and they said don’t worry, pay when you pass by next time. When I paid the next day She told me that they dont actually do anything to people who drive off, the licence plate is sent to a debt collection agency, and it might end up in civil court if you don’t pay, and the station has insurance. I find it difficult to understand why an employee would confront you.

I ignored him and served someone else. He was perplexed as to why I hadn't served him, so I explained that I would serve him once his request included the word please!!

    That one action just tars all motor home owners with the same brush, so locals are bound to be pissed off, that spoils it for the majority which are fine respectful and do spend money in the places they visit and leave no rubbish.

    People complaining about vans being unsightly they need to take a close look at some of these places where people are camping out in tents. I just watched something on UA-cam where immigrants/travelers are camping out in affluent places such as Mayfair in London. They’re using the bushes and in between parked cars to go to the bathroom. Tell me that that’s not a health hazard and not a thing is being done about it.

    My rants which you might want to discuss are:
    1. People who leave their dog's crap on the pavement and don't pick it up.
    2. Knob heads who bag up their takeaway packaging then lob it out of the car window in the middle of nowhere and there being very little chance of it ever being picked up.
    3. Lane changers who suddenly swap lanes all the time on motorways just because one lane is moving a bit faster than the one they're in.
    4. When you take your car to a garage or supermarket to give it a jet wash and the last person to use it has tangled and tied the hose in flaming knots and if you don't untangle it before pressing start you end up trying to straighten it out instead of washing your car/van.
    6. BMW drivers who don't know how to use an indicator switch.

    Hi James. I live in a town on the "other side" among the long necks. Moved here in '99. Used to drive into the town centre two or three times a week and always used a council carpark, mainly in an effort to help put revenue into the place. Would spend +/- a tenner a week on parking (say £500 a year in total at "then" prices).
    In 2003 i was literally two minutes late back to my car to find the ticket had been written and superglued to my windscreen. The traffic warden was walking off and already about 100m away. Ticket must have been written before the time was up and slapped on, to the second. Absolutely no leeway. Paid the 30 quid, like you do, but I've never parket in a council carpark since... and never will again. 21 years... And now the town centre has tumbleweed blowing down the high street 'cause most people, probably victims of the same scam, shop out of town now. Councils with their short term vision and unreasonable greed are their own worst enemy.
    *Long necks... Lancastrians peerin' ower't Pennines to see what's happenin in God's County.

Campsite prices have gone up but so has everything ,you can’t seriously complain about prices going up when you choose this life , people with mortgages who have seen a significant rise in their mortgage payments just have to suck it up and take the hit ,I don’t think anyone would be jealous of van lifers , but when a family turns up in a car to park on the seafront but can’t get parked , I can see why people would complain , there does need to be some regulation

    Great rant James,.( I'll be honest wth you 😅) Agreed with everything you said. Probably campsite owners or one stuck up Scarborough councillor who doesn't want the vans there, will change their minds when business goes down.
    I have a rant for you, about those dangerous , flying scavengers Seagulls and Kittiwakes. We live in a town near the coast and they are a damn nuisance, also the people who feed them. Keep up the good work. Can't wait until your next rant.😊. Hope you and zHelen have a real good time in Pickering and the brewery. ❤

    Petrol stations are now holding drivers to ransom, it's like you can't get gas now unless you want to spend a fortune and people need to protest the high prices by supporting your locals stores in regards to getting your food. These petrol stations/supermarkets are only going to keep raising their prices on food. I'm not joking, one gas station that I arrived at charged 6 euros just for a fcking sandwich:? It's like 5 euros 55 cent for a small block of cheese and 5 euros for 8 small sausages. This is what people get when you stop shopping at your small local shops and you start supporting big supermarket and gas station chains. Just buy gas because you need to but get your beverages and food at small local stores.
