They wonder why we hate them

The travellers mentioned at reference 1 have now departed, perhaps pushed, after a stay of about ten days. I was quite cross at the amount of mess that they had left: they have suitable pickups and it would not have taken much for them to have bagged it up, loaded it onto a pickup and then taken it to the tip, perhaps five minutes away in a motor. Maybe even, either not to make the unsightly ruts in the grass, or at least to tidy them up a bit on leaving. It would only have taken a few minutes with a spade.

I wondered about their leaving behind the gas bottle - the red lump - which one might have thought would be worth a bit. Google suggests maybe £50 for the gas, but it vague about the bottle, which I would have thought would have been more than that, given that you pay £30 to hire it. I even thought about going out with the car to collect it myself, but then thought about the elderly back.

It looked much worse in real life than it does in this snap, which has been kind to them.

It does not encourage one to make better provision, if this is the best that they can do in what might otherwise have been a reasonable place for a short stay. Gmaps 51.355425, -0.273458.
