Awful story with a great ending.

This issue has been raising its ugly head a lot recently so it's good to know that some sites, and campers, bite back!

Glad you came out of this safe

I agree with sunvalleysue

Let us all not be afraid to go over to all our other neighbours when we see these things - there are Mums alone with kids and Dads alone with kids - it needs to stamped out

I work as a warden at a college. I have learned (it didnt come overnight, originally I was useless) that if you maintain politeness yet be assertive, occupy your ground, you stand a much better chance of resolving noise makers/trouble makers.

I know it is easier said than done but why suffer all night because some moron has no respect. I have done confrontation courses,customer service courses etc and actually found they are useful in the long run even though they are notoriously dull:-). Always ask on arrival to sites, who is the warden if you havent met them and what the procedures are to complain with phone numbers if applicable, and use your mobile/go to warden without hesitation if the noise repeatedly breaks curfew.  Otherwise ring 999 if it gets nasty.  If I knew a young family were being kept awake by yobs I would be straight across no hesitation but then thats the way I am.  I am off to cornwall in 3 weeks but can I take my work head off? hope so:-)

Wow  how bad that sounds. Peed up and with little ones in the car?  There's no way I would even consider having a drink if i'm driving. Glad your warden did something about it  But one concern, why did the police let the others drive away knowing they had also been drinking and got the little ones?

The police confiscated the car,  the rest of them including the kids had to walk out the park carrying what they could and having to find somewhere to stay. i really thought someone should have been brought in to look after the kids. They really are the scum of the earth.
