Oh right, I see. I disagree with you so OBVIOUSLY I don't have a clue about the subject.

Grow up, and get yourself up to date.

If you disagree, then why not present an argument as to why you disagree, rather than simply telling me I'm wrong.

You have proved in the past that you haven't got the faintest idea about LVT and almost child-like, your reaction to the unknown is to pull a blanket over your head

I find any defence of squatting to be very illogical. If I found a car not being used on a street, broke in to it and went for a scenic country drive for the day you'd quite rightly call me a car thief and expect me to arrested.

Its a poor example though, for the example to work properly you'd have to have abandoned the car for a significant period and for there to be a serious lack of affordable cars available - so no, squatting is not the same as stealing a car.

It's not a poor example - the primary justification for squatting is that nobody else is utilising the building. Once you accept that the rest of it is just the fine print.

Maybe because any 'debate' with people like you, after 5 posts in you automatically claim to have 'handed out arses on a plate', or want to murder people....

All child-like.

Usually after an extended period of time - try leaving your car on a street over an extended period of time and see how many days it takes for a "Police Aware" sticker to appear and a few days later for it to be towed and the bill sent to the registered owners address.

Now if that sort of system worked with property ...

What about my 60 berth super yacht moored in Cornwall, do i have to worry about some smelly teenage hippy types breaking the lock and taking over or is it classed as transport and not an abode?

A 60 berth yacht ?

Christ whats your day job, being the Queen ?

That's a valid point. Most large marinas, both inland and with sea access, have boats that are capable of being lived aboard. The boating season shuts down in October and doesn't start until March.

So do most caravan parks.

Its possibly why caravans parks and marinas usually have security.

In a moment of madness I nearly bought a 37 foot live-aboard motorcruiser last year. Used, of course.

I visited Abingdon, Doncaster, Lincoln and York marinas, oh and one in Cambridgeshire. I don't recall seeing any security beyond a keycard access gate.
