Evening All.

having had a fun weekend out in our 'van, we got back and posted pictures and comments on various social networking websites. some of our friends have posted less than favourable comments in response, some even derogatory! the wife and i are above getting involved in slanging matches, but have decided that there should be a term we could use for those less enlightened souls that are not wise in the way of the caravan!

so, any suggestions...? 

Ian

Missers-out?

If they don't like caravanning/camping, that's good, as there's more room for us on the campsites!

When I put pictures up of our trip in our van, everyone comments on it and its all derogatory.

Even my friends who camp with tents have something bad to say!

I just rise above it, as like you I'm too old in the tooth for all that, so I play along with it and just joke back to them.

I enjoy it and thats all that matters.

My daughter was bullied on the school bus repeatedly by one girl. A while ago (she is now 30) she went to a school reunion and the bully was there, she confronted her and asked why she was so horrible to her. Answer, "you had a caravan and used to have holidays, we didn't!"

Stop posting pictures next time and just say, we had a lovely weekend away, bet you they say where are the pictures then? Jealousy is negative emotion, let them get on with it.

We're tent campers and plenty of our friends and relations 'don't get it'. I'm quite happy for them to be honest with their comments.

We've had all the comments and jokes too (clothes pegs and tarmacking drives feature heavily!)  I just ignore it, we all like different things.  My idea of hell is a day shopping in the city but my friends all love it.  Its on a par with a trip to the dentist if you ask me.  Each to their own.

Hi Ian,  They are Sad, with their Ground Hogg Day, where as Caravaners and campers, can hook up and off to some other location, meet new people, have a drink in a different pub, see interesting places, But most of all sit back and relax, and enjoy the rest from the mundane routine, now you have new name for them. ( Ground Hoggs).
