An MP for travellers - hmm, you'll have the Daily Mail readership up in arms! (no matter how logical it sounds...). Still, I suppose the MP's second-home allowance would allow you to run a nice boat... and of course being a CC you'd need to pay a crew to keep it moving and comply with BW bylaws whilst you sat on your a**e in Westminster ;-) (unless Douglas lets you use his moat, ... for a fee of course...) -- Andy Greener n.b.
