You will get plates and glasses from a supermarket - Asda or Sainsburys usually sell them.

Oh and also a small cheap 'quiet' generator ( I rarely use sites and hookups). Any help is great, thanks.

Honda, at a price - also Kipor, at a price. There is another company but I cannot find their site address at the moment.

There are cheapy Chinese copies made of the Hondas but I've heard very bad reports of them.

Yer pays yer money etc

 I note that you say " I rarely use sites and hookups.". From that I take that you like "wild camping"? There's nothing quite like a Genny for advertising your presence

I see that you have a Burstner: Should be plenty of room on top of that for a 120w solar panel; that's what I use and do you know, you can't hear them running at all

have you tried the £ shops for the platess etc.

Ikea is a good place for plastic plates etc - I don't know whether you have one near you though. 

As for a 'quiet' generator - they don't exist.  If you don't want hook-up either manage without electricity or use  another way to generate it like solar panels (as mentioned before).  All generators do is annoy everyone else on the campsite and ruin everyone elses holdiay.

I would never use a gennie on a site as I dont use sites. I am a very wild camper!

The words "generator" and "wild camping" don`t really belong in the same sentence, surely? Unless there`s some sort of negative inserted between them?

hello

we had some lovely melamine plates - cost a blooming fortune and then last year in the heat they all cracked ! every last one of them ( the folk who make them or sell them dont give too hoots ) so anyway we now have some lovely matching sets from Asda - they are about 97p for 4 and not much more for the beakers, bowls etc. 

We all think they are great and the kids wash them up a treat ! so what more could you ask for !
