All they did was travel from job to job.
It seemed that every trade was covered.
Would have liked to have joined them but somehow the little tent I owned didn't seem appropriate.

They had it sussed though.
Any post, forwarded for general delivery or "poste restante" as it's sometimes called.
Some had accommodation addresses so no problems with "no fixed abode" labels.
Camp sites for a couple of weeks and move on or, job permitting, they just set up life in the works car park.

Pity I chickened out.
If I could have brought a van then, I'd probably have never settled down.

i knew people like that on building sites..usually irish...they travelled from building site to building site......i tried to do it in the 90's when i had a big Ex SWEB(electric company) van with a friend of mine who was a groundworks labourer.....but we just couldnt get any work.
