What a silly article to write. Who the heck does he think he is to scoff at other people's preferences?

I suppose he heads for crowded airports and gets herded onto a full to the brim aircraft heading off to sunnier climes and then spends his week looking at the same 4 walls in the confines of his hotel room. Perhaps he enjoys the bun fight buffet style breakfasts which he has to share with hundreds of other holiday makers and then fights for a sunbed by the pool or on the beach! I wonder what his idea of a perfect weekend or holiday is and I wonder if he has enjoyed the same freedom that caravanning or motorhoming can bestow upon you? I very much doubt it and we should pity this guy's ignorance!

Sooh

Good lord - you re a serious lot!!

This guy spouts off in the Doncaster Free Press every week.  Not sure quite how he managed to land his column but guess what?  YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY!!!

He is a wind up merchant and you've fallen into his trap of giving him publicity and discussing the tripe he writes!!

Quite a few Doncaster caravanners on this forum - Yorkshire Caravans is 1m from our house and I can tell you it's constantly full so don't start suggesting that Doncaster people don't like caravans - not true!!

I'm not really keen on the West Midlands either....
(and yes I've lived there too... Walsall, Brownhills, Rushall, Telford, Coventry, Wolverhampton....all best viewed through the rear view mirror on the way out.....)

Someone with so little wit is where he belongs on a regional paper that is so good its given away.

I think you'll find the Doncaster Free Press is something in the region of 35p to buy.  The last time it was given away free was around 1970.

Just read your post Finlaysmum and must say that  you have certainly set me thinking and yes I think you are probably right and we have all overeacted to this guys article and taken it way too seriously, myself included. Nope, what you say makes great sense really and I am giving myself a mighty old slap for falling into his trap and allowing what he wrote to wind me up!
