A family of six have put renting behind them after renovating a double-decker bus to permanently live in - and wouldn't ever go back to traditional housing. Conrad Kirk, 31, and Nicole McCarthy, 30, from Rotherham, were spending £1,350 a month on rent and bills when they made the decision to buy a second-hand bus in April 2021.
The couple, who have four children, Phoebe, eight, Poppy and Summer, both six, and Luna, four, plus two dogs, spend less than £10 a day and "would never live in a house again". Conrad told the Mirror: "When the cost of living began going up, our rent increased and the bills went sky-high so I jokingly said to Nicole, 'let's just move into the bus full-time' - then we actually did."
