A new sort of rubbish 1

I came across this new way to fly-tip the other day, towards the Christchurch Road end of Horton Lane, quite near the not very tidy traveller horses' field. Judging by the bits of slaty stuff leaking out of the bottom, I would say builders' waste. So perhaps the work of some low grade builder who either missed the tip opening times, didn't want to pay the tip charges or was just lazy. Perhaps the customer was pleased not to have had to pay VAT.

And then, later on the same outing, quite a lot of mess down Blenheim Road, between the entrance to the tip and the caravan which has settled down about 200m north northeast of Screwfix. Burst plastic bags, household junk, all rather messy. Again, probably the leavings of the lazy or feckless. I hope not the sort of people that live in our road, although one can never be sure.

The caravan itself looks to me as if someone, probably just one person, is living in it, with various stuff accumulating outside. It also looks if the local yuff have taken to knocking it around in the evening, with the windows now being patched up with brown packing tape. I imagine that they are perspex rather than glass as they are still hanging in there. But what sort of a person would you be, or what sort of state would you be in to want to live in such a way?

If reference 1 is to be believed, whoever it is has been there for getting on for four months now. Or is it really a sort of transit point for illegals on their way to the sugar beet fields of Lincolnshire? With a winter of weeding the frozen fields to look forward to. Or whatever it is that one does to sugar beet in the winter.

PS: must remember to keep my spectacles out of view (bottom, center right) in telephone snaps. Glasses off so that I can better see what I am doing, but clearly not well enough.
