Give her the house and you take to the open road in your trusty old camper, which will never let you down, unlike a woman who always will. And let's face it. You've had the wedding. You've had the honeymoon. So what else is there to look forward to, anyway? Tell her you want her to go with you, and that you could be gypsies together. She will say no. She will, definitely, say no. Then you can blame her for the breakdown in the marriage and walk away guilt free. Whenever, I'm in a situation like yours, dave, I just ask myself "WWJD?" Invariably, I find he would do exactly what I have already decided to do. As a priest the best advice I can give you is -

Insist the roof thingy is removed. Does it serve anything but a decorative purpose. I'll happily put my name to the petition, I might manage to march down the relevant Essex High Street, or even Downing Street, if the date turns out to be convenient. ;) Start a campaign protesting against discrimination against high-top campervans and broke cartoonists!

It might go through on its side? (at least it's another to add to the comic). 2. Are there any gardens with weak fences backing onto the carpark (ie alternate routes)? 3. Maybe the bridge could be turned into some sort of draw bridge...? 4. Have you tried going through /really slowly/? (I don't think it'll help, but it would be quite amusing). Regarding people who are annoyed with it; maybe disguise it as a 4x4 (put bigger wheels on it, and some bull bars)... If you still want to get rid of it, leave it parked somewhere in Coventry for a night. I should probably go do some work now. Hope these hints helped! I only have a few suggestions left:

DO they still have that channel tunnel mole thing hanging about? You could tunnel UNDER the people complaining! One other option - call Pimp my ride! I wish I could buy it but you've caught me at the wrong post-matrimonial time for that :o( I think the tunnelling plan sounds best to me.

Also, if your neighbours are a problem, I know quite a lot of people with tents... shall we all come and form a wee shanty town around the Camper, then see whether they preferred life before we arrived? hehe... oh look, everyone’s made the suggestions I was going to make… except maybe that you attack the ornamental roof with a sledge hammer?
