well it looks like you can if you live around the waltham forest area of london now, and for the price of £75 a week , the cost to convert these are around £20,000 for each one , and look a little small but add a few more together and bobs your uncle, be intresting to see the reaction in a few months time

Then again, those tin roofs in the Phils aren't much good for a peaceful nights sleep when it's chucking it down. :biggrin:

Stick a dozen or so up Park Lane in London, leave a case of cheap vodka in the back.... soon they'll full of drunk Romanians, then all you have to do is shut the door and ship them back.

Just think how many Roma you could fit into this lot - the Big Issue would have a sales slump

I still think a couple of 12metre containers would be ideal if converted correctly and professionally, insulated, tiled roof, ect.!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Much cheaper and cooler to build a timber house that size in the Phils....or concrete block for that matter. :anerikke:

Looks like Japanese 'capsule'.....stayed in those plenty of times.......wonderful, but not as cheap as £10...If only.
Those place have great 'room' service too :Jump:
