By mistake, (a) taking job you can,t handle, (b) treating adults who pay your wages as fools (c)  not accepting that other people may have had a bad day, and had a 3 hour drive on a friday which normally would take 1 1/2.

The life is pretty easy in the whole great shape of things , and I,m sure that if  my wife and  I could live off the wage ( which I can,t imagine being great ) we,d go for it .

The more I think about it the adage quoted  cannot really apply, as I think the original would apply to some one who worked with his hands, and not to someone who with his/her tongue could upset anyone.

I think you may have misunderstood me. The mistake I referred to was the mistake by Gasman1256 when he tried to race under the barrier for which no good reason has been given.

This is absolutely untrue.  If the wardens are not up to scratch, it shows on here how quickly they are condemned.  They have to be up early and ready for whatever the day throws at them.  They have a site to maintain, H&S issues to observe and, most unpleasant of all, toilets and latrines to clean every day. And there are numerous duties, many of them clerical, which we do not see.   Their job requires them to be courteous at all times; very difficult if contact has just ended with an aggressively rude visitor.

You do see some goings-on that don't quite fit in with the CCs published rules and regs though.

In Devon this year, there were two caravans close to us that were unoccupied on good pitches for over a week.  One of the vans was towed off the pitch after a week by the site staff, who then towed a different caravan onto the pitch - which he told us was for a relative to stay in.  The other caravan remained unoccupied for the whole of the 10 days we were there and all that time, the site was showing 'full'

The site in question does not operate any seasonal pitches and as far as I can recall, you are not supposed to have caravans on club pitches unoccupied for longer than 48 hrs. 

It seemed to me that other Club members were missing out on pitches that should have been available for general use.

We have joined the Club this year and have just had our most recent 2 holidays in Caravan Club sites.

Fantastic sites, with helpful and knowledgable wardens so far. I was hoping to see the difference when we started using CC sites and so far we are impressed, as good as the best private sites we have visited and a mile ahead of most.

We intend to stick to the CC sites in future, with a few exceptions. And IF I ever get a bad warden or experience then the review pages are there for a reason.

But so far so good.

I will be staying with C & CC though for the CLs and because they offer discounts on their sites, which for me as a pensioner are valuable.
