Many looked at the various examples provided by gypsies here and in Europe; to nomadic people across the world. To try life outside the house in many different ways and to pick and select those means that make life comfortable, easy and meaningful. The \u2018bender\u2019, the Indian \u2018tipi\u2019, the Moroccan \u2018yurt\u2019, the Romany \u2018bow top\u2019, the western two-man tent, the truck and the double decker bus. Life on the road in an old \u00a3300 1960\u2019s bus, truck or trailer seemed like a bloody good option weighed against the prospect of life on the dole in some dirty city where the only values being espoused by the Tory Government were those of me, me , me and more me \u2013 what was a poor boy to do.
