Wullz 408 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Apologies if its already been covered! But, does anyone know what happened to the lad that was camped in the layby off the A9 near Bruar? I was up at Inversnekky shooting last week and I noticed that the lad was gone and the layby was coned off. Anyone know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CushtyJook 1,097 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Is he on his own and what's his story why is he stopping there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bo Duke 420 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I saw him a couple months back and wondered what his story was, I think he had a sign there but I was tanking by on the bike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just googled it seems like he's doing no harm just council busy body's want to get rid of him as usual he needs someone to take him in give him a decent place to live in my grandad had an old boy who lived in a old caravan on a main road and people would abuse him and chuck stuff at his caravan and even torched it one time so he got him a new caravan and put it in his yard and let the man live there untill he died and in return would just help out around the yard not like the cases you here where people is kept for salves as a lot of that is rubbish and its just unfortunate people who have been given a better life if they where captive or slaves they would just walk away wouldn't they Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,243 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 "Charles Ingram, who is believed to be 70, is reported to have set up home in his Mercedes 220 car after losing his money in a business dispute". Just saw a article saying he was evicted on 30th Sept. I saw him a day or two before. He's been camping there for years now. Can't be the full shilling, and should probably pack it in now.
