So a post that originated in August 2008, has been resurrected again.
Whilst on a site in 2010, a family set up their tent not far from ours, despite most of the area being empty.
Whilst daddy and mummy were erecting their tent, the children decided to play 'kick ball'.
Why they had to do it near our tent, and use it as a target I don't know, but I did point out the massive area where they could do it.
Mummy and daddy thought I was being unreasonable.
Later on, some other children came around to blow bubbles. Why they had to do it so the bubbles landed on our tent and us, I don't know. But my request for them to do it elsewhere was met with sarcasm and abuse by mummy and daddy.
Someone complained to the Warden, so we explained what was going on, and explained the damage that could be caused by balls and the bubble mixture.
He agreed, and informed the parents to educate their chidren.
We were not 'flavour of the week' there, but as we enjoy our own company we kept ourselves to ourselves.
Victor Meldrew I an NOT.
BUT, I am respectful to other people and their property, and their privacy.
Regards James

In the beginning there was darkness.
Then I bought a tent.
I'm not destitute, I'm just poor.

No idea if this is fact or fiction but pending an outcome I've banned bubbles near our new tent, or anyone else's for that matter, much to the disgust of my three boys!
well done! - i take my hat off to you! - a responsible mother!...
seriously though, we all have £ invested in our tents and caravan awnings, surely the last thing any of us want is the water repellancy factor to be depleted in anyway at all!.

There are a lot of people who don't realise about bubbles.
i have banned aerosols in my tents after reading a fire safety thread on here. Some sort of residue clings to the inside of your tent and makes it v flammable. Apparently .

I think if that were the case they would probably ban aerosols...just imagine how many different types of aerosols are used in our homes from hair sprays to fly sprays to deodorants. We would all be living in tinderboxes if that was the case.
