Unusual forage...Just took the dog for a walk and came home with a rucksack full of apples and one of these...

You have just inspired me. Shelter for the dogs over winter in our leaky glasshouse.
What is it by the way?

It's one of those pop-up tents. Someone had left it on the commons.

colour it green

I hope they weren't just having a pee and came back to find it gone!

It was upside down and not pegged, so it seems unlikely. Probably kids on the lash last night at a guess.

so, does Boy Wonder know he's being evicted to a tent in the garden yet?

Our thought was that Ben could use it If we'd left it were it was it would have been shredded by the hawthorn bush it was caught up in by now.
Having taken the two of us to decipher the instructions on to put it down I can see why someone with a hangover might have abandoned it

How could you be sure no-one was coming back for it?---just a question 
|
sean

Can't be sure. But it's illegal to camp on the commons and it was stuck in a tree. I think of it as a really big piece of litter.

Sorry to be a sanctimonious PITB but if you weren't sure I don't think you should have taken it--- the law wouldn't call it forage.

No. They'd call it fly tipping.

Is that a by-law or are all commons covered by the same legislation?
Good find BTW  it's not often you can forage food and shelter

It's a bye law, which it is part of my responsibilities to uphold.
When we actually did have someone camping there last year, we gave them a little while ( about 2 weeks) then pinned a polite notice on the tent, which worked.

Two weeks sounds like a long while to me 
|
Nick
|
To break by-laws, or to camp?
|
Rob R
|
Both
|
Nick

Agreed.
