Travellers set up home at Silverstone !

[robsinfield]

Silverstone, Monday. Northamptonshire District Council say that they are powerless to do anything about a group of Irish travellers who have set up home on the Silverstone infield. The travellers lead by a charismatic Dubliner arrived over the weekend and by this morning had already installed roads, plumbing and electricity. The group have now applied for retrospective planning permission and NDC have indicated that the application was likely to go through without a hitch, 'We can't say no even if we want to, its all about their human rights'. Local residents are up in arms but the owners of the circuit, the BRDC, are not overly worried, a club spokesman told us earlier today ‘Actually, as is their way, the travellers have done a pretty damn good job of improving the infield roads, plumbing and so on’ He then added, ‘In fact we may see if they are interested in cutting a deal to resurface the track for us as well’

Has anyone told Paul Stoddart that the GPs not for a few months yet?

Didn't someone say something about Button's Pikey Dad too?

Hey - I'd completely forgotten about JB's Pikey Dad. You used to see him living it up at every GP but no more ? Where is he ?
