I have a tiny spirit level in my camping kit! (I use it for levelling the trailer tent, and it saves me at least ten minutes of guesswork.) Does that count??????

Just be thankful for the free entertainment it is giving you and let them get on enjoying their camping the way they like it who says the way you camp is correct. We people that like the things you poke fun at certainly don't poke fun at the way you camp but it probably as a lot to do with the type of people we are.

Goodness me, if campers can`t poke a bit of gentle fun at each other, what have we become? Serious??????  How can a bunch of grown ups sitting around in poly bags in a wet field be serious, for Gawd`s sake?

I can cope with folk pointing at my tent or TT and collapsing into a fit of giggles no problem. (Because I know they`re just overawed at the magnificence of my pitching skills, so it must be the Lion Rampant windsock or my mass-murder look-alike Hubby that they`re laughing at. ......... ) Mind you, I am Scottish, and taking the p*** out of one another is not only our other national pastime, it`s compulsory, lol.

Hi Val.
Some of us campers have different ways of poking fun and when we get a response like you just did we have succeeded. Personally I never take a post serious if it as in the frame.But to get you to fire up as been well worth the effort
all the best

PS is it true that Scott's are the top of the bottle, just because they look down on the rest of us from up over the border

I dunno, Rex, given that Scott`s are the folk that make porridge oats. I on the other hand am a Scot, and it`s well known that we`re the superior race. (Well known amongst Scots, that is..... )
