Good point.
Now I'm no Oliver Reed. I was once. I shudder to think the state I must have been in when driving "the morning after".
But since becoming wiser (a little) and older (a lot) I rarely drink more than 4 pints of cooking bitter these days, often in the company of my old-car-owning cronies, often on some tour or other.
I got to wondering about the logistics of drinking this amount and driving the following morning, so I bought a French-requirement breathalyser kit and put it to the test.
4 pints of Caledonian Deuchars IPA (lovely stuff) in The Clachan Inn, St. John's Town of Dalry, then off to bed. There is a bloke's head embedded in the ceiling of the bedroom, but that is another story.
Anyway, a hearty breakfast - but not so fast! Before eating anything (8 a.m.) I must test myself. To the amusement of my cronies I pulled out this breathalyser kit and tested myself. Zilch. Total failure to register.Sigh of relief; according to the "alcohol-leaves-at-one-unit-per-hour" rule, I should have been safe, had always assumed that I was safe, and finally I proved that I was safe.
That's all folks - just thought it might help.



Did you test the breathalyser kit?

Yeah, I wondered about that. I am hoping that as they are a legal requirement in France then they will be made to a standard.

There is a toilet tent on the right hand side of the first tent picture. They have thought of everything.



On reviews I've seen of that toilet tent they are very see through! Hope they've made this one less so.

I doubt most 'guests' will even make it to the toilet tent...& it would be a right mess if one fell over inside it...
