I can feel Monty Pythons '4 Yorkshiremen' sketch coming on.

Did your parents drive Colin? You may have remembered it if they did; I think you are 2 years younger than me.

76 last month. My parents were always "hard up" so it mattered a lot, as we lived out in the countryside. I never passed my test, tried but nerves overtook me.

We always have a calendar on the wall by the phone, an attempt to ensure we don’t double book something. Always get them from charity shops & for the last few years, they’ve been old railway posters. Yes, camping carriages, and where you could go to.
One of New Brighton beach at Wallasey has a ship in the background & bizarrely, it was the one we sailed to Canada on in 1960 (my dad’s job took us there). Very distinctive funnel markings of the Canadian Pacific line: the Empress of Britain.

The last Camping Carriages I remember seeing were at Dawlish in the west country, they were certainly still there no more than 12 years ago .
