One of my neighbours does this & I wondered the same. I've now realised that his house (semi) has been extended to the boundary and as such there's no access to the garden, other than via the front door... through which the Tentbox won't fit...

Having your extension tight to the boundary, making everything have to go through the house to get to back garden=council.

Asking neighbours if your sexpond can go down their drive and over the fence to get it into position= double council.

What's with council types driving round with a Tentbox on the roof of their cars all the time? Is it a fashion thing or what, because they all look like they've never been used.

Did see a Sprinter type hippy van with one of these boxes mounted sideways on roof bars. Not so good for fuel economy but I'd check bridge clearances very carefully.

Probably a diesel as well.

There's no sex pond (far as I know) but there is a trampoline.

And we're in Essex.

In which case it’s missing the ‘Send It’ sticker.

Oh! I’m feeling quite the chavy council bloke right now.
I’ve got;
Range Rover, Autobiography.
BMW, M4 Competition.

I’m currently in the process of buying a 2007 Bentley Azure 6.8 Mulliner Full spec. Are they also deemed to be council? I can buy an XL Bully if it helps.

Unless you're planning to fit moon discs and leopard skin seat covers not really. It seems unlikely to ever enter the "pub landlord's motor" zone.

You're joking. A nigh-on 20 year old Bentley is exactly pub landlord territory.

Tim Martin perhaps, not many landlords tooling about in 50k motors.

My Mrs is the daughter of a publican and the money sloshing around is extraordinary. 50k cars are the cheaper end of the market among them all. New X5s as cash and carry delivery vehicles, flash number plates, shooting, antiques, holidays etc... an old Bentley would fit right in.

Sounds like they have other revenues.

No, but they are independants, with accommodation in the pubs etc. But all based around pubs and hospitality. All legit, in the 30-odd years I've known them I have no reason to think otherwise.
