Couple who owned Yorkshire pub sell everything to travel UK in a motorhome
A couple sold everything they own to travel the UK in a motorhome - with their dogs in tow.
Stuart Scattergood, 36, and his husband, Andrew, 57, gave up their home and the pub they ran, got rid of their cars, furniture and over 17 bags of clothes.
They bought a £10,000 motorhome and have been on the road for the last two years - with their pooches, a 15-year-old Shih Tzu called Pixie, Soda, a 15-year-old labrador collie cross and Luna, a six-year-old Shih Tzu Chihuahua cross.
The two ran the Belle Vue Pub near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, for four years before Andrew jokingly suggested they should buy a motorhome.
But his joke soon became a reality and both decided they'd done enough with the boozer - turning it from "not being very good" to award-winning.

00:00Which road, Tesco?
00:02Left, obviously.
00:04Stop moaning.
00:06That's it. Cut.
00:08Are you watching?
00:10Yeah.
00:12You'd have been out there, but instead you were fanning on.
00:14What? Cut!
00:16God.
00:18Keep an eye on the road, Andrew, you're the driver.
00:22Fuck off, Stuart.
00:24I could be in Tesco's right now.
00:26But no, Andrew had to take his time.
00:28I've got what I wanted.
00:30Go!
00:32I can't go.
00:34There's a car coming.
00:36It was indicating as it was turning in.
00:38The other one did beforehand.
00:48Andrew, I'm going to tell you where I put that.
00:58This is not fun.
01:00Whoever said that this was fun, lied.
01:02I'm trying to get this level.
01:04And this isn't even the worst bit.
01:06I've got to then put another eyebrow on to match.
01:08They're not actual eyebrows.
01:10They just look like eyebrows.
01:12Well, you did a great job with the actual name.
01:14So this is the finishing touches.
01:16You said two fingers in.
01:18Top of the paper to the ridge.
01:20Top of the paper to the ridge.
01:26As you can see,
01:28this is a highly technical,
01:30trained, skilled measuring.
01:32This was your fault for getting things either side.
01:36It's always my fault. Everything's my fault.
01:38I hereby name our van
01:40Avandra.
01:42This is the joys of living in a motorhome
01:44with big dogs who want attention
01:46all the time.
01:48Are you looking at the camera?
01:50Who's there?
01:52So that's Soda.
01:54That is the only thing, I think,
01:56when you think about it.
01:58Oh yeah, there's tons of space.
02:00We're in a six berth, massive motorhome.
02:02Soda takes up about a quarter of this motorhome
02:04just for her.
02:06I don't know why you're recording this.
02:08Are you trying to make me laugh?
02:10I don't know why you're recording this.
02:12It's not going in.
02:14It can. Everyday life of living with dogs in a motorhome.
02:16No.
02:18I don't think people are interested in...
02:20I do.
02:22People want to know the stress of actually living in a motorhome.
02:24Not all the, oh my God,
02:26you wake up every single day
02:28in such a beautiful location.
02:30No, you're screaming and shouting at each other all the time.
02:32You look at maps in the wrong direction
02:34and I get you shouting at me because I can't read a map properly.
02:36No, you get to a roundabout and go,
02:38oh my God, where's the parking spaces?
02:46Andrew, you'd be alright with your little girly feet.
02:50What don't you like?
02:52What's wrong, Andrew?
02:54Close to the edge.
02:56Look, you can take a wee seat on it.
03:02That's one thing,
03:04it doesn't feel
03:06the most secure.
03:08I'm sorry, I can stand on that step.
03:10Watch how high I am.
03:12And there is literally
03:14nothing to stop you
03:16falling over.
03:18Oh, that's even worse.
03:20Look, it's even lower.
03:22Andrew, don't drop your glasses.
03:24Come on.
03:26Come on.
03:28They like to hide around the corner.
03:30Come to the first bit.
03:32No, there's a beautiful room here.
03:34There's a really, really nice room that you'd want to see.
03:36Come on.
03:38No, you don't have to.
03:40Right, well, you don't have to. Come and have a look at this room.
03:42Come on.
03:48Well, you're having just a snack.
03:50You're meant to be having a piece of quiche as a snack.
03:52And this is your snack.
03:54Who said we're having quiche?
03:56I've got quiche.
03:58That is not a snack.
04:00No, it's a side salad.
04:02I've got quiche, that's what you said.
04:04We said we were having a quick snack before tea
04:06and we had the pieces of quiche
04:08that we needed to eat.
04:10You've got a whole frigging half a quiche.
04:12Yeah, that's what's left.
04:14It needs eating today.
04:16And all the salad?
04:18Well, it's good for me.
04:20I bought it yesterday.
04:22I'm feeling healthy. We've been swimming.
04:24It's a bit of salad, Stuart.
04:26I said to you, do you want salad?
04:28And you said, no, I'll just have quiche for now.
04:30That is not a side salad.
04:32That is a whole meal.
04:34There was half an onion left.
04:36There was cheese that needs eating.
04:38Celery's going limp,
04:40so that needs eating.
04:42That is not a side salad.
04:44It's nice, though.
