However I think you will find that trying to move a caravan with flat tyres out of mud with a ford transit is a bit of a tall order. If you can do it, then drop me your telephone number and I will pass it on to the Tom the pikey. I suppose though that as you email don't know your email or web address  the chances of getting to grips with a telephone number is probably a bit taxing.

I will do a little post to explain costings. DL- Everyone is living happily ever after so far, but I would not be too shocked if they or some others went back. Minx - I actually forgot to ask if these people had metered water. Still it is always easier to say sorry afterwards than to get permission before hand. Hankypank - I am not sure how well the old hose trick will work on your drier soil! Celine Ducas - Sorry Celine, somehow I managed to delete your comment in error. Deline said she thinks I type too quickly and make mistakes. Having re read the last post I see what you mean. I will make some corrections and will try to be harder in the the future.

A fine bit of work - and rivetting!!! I would have been tempted to leave a tap running in the old geezer's garden... Beautifully handled! Well done Uncle Norman.

Nice pay off for a few days work. I can see why the punter felt he was being short changed. So you picked up 15K for shifting some tinkers. Nice pay off for a few days work.
