They were tollerated generally and the workers at the tip knew most of them, so i don't know if it's the same up at Whiney Hill but i imagine they have a pretty good idea of who the regular visitors are. This may not be the case of course if it's a night-time activity -but surely they must have some security cameras to control access..

I used to love going to the tip with my Dad when I was a child. Rooting for things.
I was so exited when I brought home my brand new wheel chair.
How my friends loved to push me up and down Stanhill Lane.
It was shortly after this I was told I would be allowed a bike after all.
There were always people rooting about on the tip then.
After odd bits and pieces they needed to fettle something.
All for nowt.
