You misunderstood me. I meant as she gets all the Tattle info that you are giving her ideas for excuses. I know all about her sense of entitlement.

To where? In the middle of the current situation I guess work might be hard for him to come by.

No it's you who misunderstands the severity of her condition: she does not need ideas for excuses.

To wherever he came from? I mean, he can repatriate, can't he?

Nice avatar Clara! good pickup re campervan law... poor Selmar.
He still chooses to be there, because he feels it's an opportunity. The only thing to feel poor about, is that he's not protected in any way.

There's a downstairs gite too. Anyway, I get it that he's more comfortable in his own mobile home, but my question is, is it legal?
It's legal. His decision to sleep in his camper doesn't come out of necessity. There's a room in the house for him.

But, as I understand the rules, for him to keep using his camper van, she should get permission from the planning authorities to make it legal. There's many rooms in that house, not just for him, it doesn't make it legal for everybody to go camp there.

I do not know the answers to these questions... but when I say JS throws money at them looking at maybe around NZ$100 or a bit more, nothing in the $10K range!

[QUOTE="Rory, post: 3680000, member: 157649"
On the patreon video he discovered fish fossils in one of the dairy floor pavers. Level of intetest by SJ ...low. I thought it was incredibly interesting. In Greece if people find ruins on their land (eg digging for a well or something), it is often not reported as people don't want the govt hassle. Imagine if the lake bed was declared some historical dig!

I knew the dairy was damp but had no idea that it was that damp!

I had a look at le croix honnet, nicely filmed and mostly diy, so fairly interesting, but anna is highly irritating, as someone said too giggly and child like. She behaves like his little pet, made me uncomfortable.
I totally agree with comments re Anna's irritating giggle, but the point i was making was that these are well-made (by amateurs) vlogs which are all about the DIY and the restoration: NO Patreon, NO buymeacoffee, NO begging bowl of any kind.

His permanent address is in the chateau. He's not a homeless drifter. The law is there to prevent people living indefinitely in caravans on empty lots, on the roadside etc. unauthorized places, even if privately owned (courtyard of a chateau is an authorized place btw.) If he wants to make his camper his official home, then he needs to apply permits from the authorities (and SJ), but since he's officially living in the chateau, there's no need for the permit. No law prohibits keeping a camper fully operational in the courtyard and sleeping in it, just not as an official residence, like in trailer parks with their own mailboxes, garden gnomes and patio furniture.

I thought he had changed his numberplate to a French one? I can assure you I am completely aware of Jarvis condition. I have read all the threads, I am aware of your friends. I understand how people have been taken advantage of. I am saying that it appears that she is using Tattle as a means of cleaning up her act or using comments from here to reflect what is included in her vlogs.

Which group is this from? I thought Phillip is doing social media. Are they no longer deleting any comments that might people think / put one and one together

It would be good if they do take it on board. I don’t think it happens enough. They often film in advance. Maybe Phillip will up his game as co producer / director / artistic director of the chato diaries.

Marie, Selmar and Philip all appear to be lost souls, albeit the Page of the Back Stairs is brasher than the other two. Surely he has to be hiding from something. It's not normal for a young man of his age to be traipsing around trying to ingratiate himself with a woman almost old enough to be his mother. I wonder what his parents make of it? I hope Cat's parent have taken the opportunity to shake her by the shoulders, although she did at least have an online job managing a virtual choir, so not completely wasting her time like the other poor sods.

@Clara Burnett, don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your contributions on here as you have a lot of credible insider knowledge that has proved to be most interesting and I'm forever grateful that you brought the colourful Edmond Fokker into our lives. You clearly knew Stephanie personally but intuition tells me that there's a lot more to the story than you just feeling aggrieved on behalf of your Dutch friends. I don't suppose we'll ever find out but I often sit here and wonder.........

I wonder how he handles the grey and black waters yuck! Maybe that’s why he leaves often to dispose of all the ?

Wait my dear, wait...it’s coming. They’re friends with the trotters, need I say more?

He does move it from time to time anyway - when he goes off on his ‘jaunts’.
