The 'powers that be' don't help.

Today the met office have announced a heatwave with warnings that vulnerable people must do this that and the other.

We used to call it SUMMER and soaked each other with the hosepipe or did other silly things like jump in the fountains.

Have a splendid evening!

P.C. and elf and safety people are taking over and children are not being allowed to just be children anymore.
To much molly coddling is making them soft and just end up staying indoors playing computer games..not them all I hasten to add

The trouble with being 'friendly', is that you end up with a 'friend for life' if you arent careful.

You have only to say hello to some caravanners, and the next minute you turn around they are still on your shoulder telling you where theyve been and where they are going. Sorry, not interested unless the conversation was heading that way to start with.

On the flip side, theres some ignorant buggers.

I went over to admire a couples awning. It looked like something that would do us, so i politely asked the couple sat in it if i could take a closer look at the sides where it met the van.

The wife happily gave up knitting for five minutes to answer the few questions i had. The husband never, and i mean never, lifted his head out of his sunday paper once.

Naturally, i stole it at 3 in the morning and left.






Joking!

These people are a group of known extremists called The Bailey Kiaist's avoid them at all costs. Besides the beards they sometimes sport cable knit sweaters even in the height of summer. You have been warned.

One of the things we like about caravanning is not meeting new people. Its nice to pitch up, say hello to your neighbours,then i like to keep to myself and pass the time of day relaxing away from other people

On some occasions you get the vanner who makes a beeline for you and takes great delight in telling you how good his van or car is!
We pitched up at a site in France on our way home, said hello to the brit next to us who immediately told us he used to have a Bailey Unicorn like ours and changed it as he had no faults with it!
Now our Unicorn is 4 months old and is great.

I don't like to be impolite so said I was glad to hear that he had no problems, and we have had 4 Baileys and had no major faults or damp in any! This rather pleased him!
I also mentioned that Swift (which he had) had very little problems

Another guy on a site took great delight in telling us that he would have a Sorento like ours as they are great tow cars!
I pointed out that we have had 3 and they are superb, he said he had read it on the internet, and did not own one!
What a nice man
Funny both these blokes didn't had beards-is it a clean shaven thing?
Come on admin as other members have suggested lets have a moaners section PLEASE, (somewhere to put all our little moans about other people) as you can see you will get many takers.
you could run a competition to name it

looking at some of the posts I feel I may be in a minority I love going on a site and being sociable and making conversation with people I have never met and in all probability will never meet again I can learn lots about life in general as well as camping, I am a self employed decorator and my job include meeting new people and conversing with them and enjoy that side very much, the trouble with todays society people are wrapped up in their own little world to get to know or even speak to their neighbours etc,

Idea!

When searching for a campsite (only on UKCAMPSITE of course) there are many different criteria.

Open all year; dog friendly; adult only etc etc.

Why not have a new category 'SILENT' then those that prefer not to chat to neighbours can be properly catered for?

They will just have to have a special sign when leaving if they get stuck on some soft ground

"HELP. I AM STUCK IN THE MUD. CAN YOU HELP ME EVEN THOUGH I CANNOT NORMALLY BE BOTHERED TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PRESCENCE".
