Where would I park my camper van that doesn't exist yet but might?

Leytonestone is full of crazies. Wanstead flats is nice though.

Fully prepared to learn about gouging 'service' charges and would use that to negotiate heavily on price. If it ever got anywhere near that stage. The place might be shit.

I'd also be worried about the service charges applicable to that house. I work with someone who has one of the flats in the Olympic village and he was complaining the other day about his service charge and the additional charge everyone has to pay to contribute towards the upkeep of the Olympic park too. It sounded pretty painful but I can't recall the exact figures he was discussing.

Presumably he read his fucking lease before putting the money down on the flat? Or did these charges just appear out of nowhere?

If my street is anything to go by, people with mountain bikes all drive VW Californias.

You can count at least 3 of them on a typical day.

People who ride mountain bikes avoid Californias due to the insane outlay that makes it impossible for the value of the bikes in / on the vehicle to be > cost of the vehicle. They typically modify T5s then (optionally) slap a Cali badge on.
