Last time i post on here me thinks, if thats the attitude some of you idiots have, this is supposed to be a helpful forum i assume? so why dont you try helping people , even us so called robbing scousers and stop being pathetic !!

On my move to Canada i hope I dont find people are as inconsiderate and dumb as you lot

Living in a Mobile Park? Probably.

Seriously though, i'd think twice about looking to live in one. Think of something like a cross between a council estate and a gypsy caravan site.

That's a bit of a generalisation but the ones i've seen pretty much fit the bill.

Get over yourself. I'm from Merseyside too.

If light hearted banter's really that difficult to accept, you're going to find integrating as an immigrant nigh on impossible.

I've previously posted perfectly helpful advice to you. If you don't like it, then try another forum.

Oh, we'll be there, you just won't find us as we won't be hanging around the trailer parks.

You have indeed gave me good advice before Rich and i thank you for it , hence i expected better response from your self. I do like light hearted banter, but I did post this with the intention of ... yes they are worth it short term or no defo not or at least some useful advice not slaggin off people with low incomes whom have to live in these homes or people from Liverpool either..

We dont all live in mansions to begin with and some of us did come from council estates and are better people for it. I will fit in fine in Canada dont worry about me.

Also I will stay with this forum because the majority of people have been very helpful im happy to say.

Here in MB:-

trailer = you can pull it with a family vehicle

mobile home = its delivered on a truck.

Mobile homes are built just as well (some say better, as they have to withstand moving) as conventional new homes.

You'll notice after a while on the forum Gaz that if you don't get a useful answer in the first few responses, it's unlikely that you will. Most degenerate into humour, banter, or move off topic. It's just the nature of online conversation.

You mustn't take any of it to heart or too personally. Liverpudlian's have a reputation/stereotype associated with them. That doesn't mean it applies to you (or me), but I'm sure you can distinguish between a personal attack, and a bit of humour, especially when a is added

JonboyE

I just asked a real live Canadian in my office and he understood what a mobile home is. It seems that mobile home and trailer are inter-changeable terms. Most people say trailer, but the trailer parks call themselves mobile home parks because it sounds posher.

My girlfriend's uncle just sold his mobile home and her family and their realtor all referred to it as a mobile home. But what do they know? They only grew up here and they're only Canadian.

And the fact is you all knew what he meant, but why let that stop a good pedantic jibe.

I sold a double wide trailer a couple of years ago. As JonboyE noted, it had wheels and a hitch, so the name makes sense.

Oh, and it sat on bricks too

Edited to add that the paperwork involved in de-commissioning it from my land and selling it on to another party was a pain in the ass.

Same in Alberta.

Mobile homes are parked (jacked up and placed on blocks) on a concrete pad in a mobile home park.

Manufactured homes are delivered in sections to a home site on the back of a truck and are assembled on a foundation. They do not have a metal frame with wheels and cannot be towed.

There there dear, don't get your knickers in a twist

Aviator

You're probably quite right. However I have still never heard the term used here.

Are you sure it's not a speech impediment? Saying that, i'm not sure why they'd use a Realtor to sell a Nokia.
