We stopped at the service station on our way back from hols got in the car drove on ten or more miles then rememberd we had l forgot our son he was in the loo, He was 16 and OK,

He is now 34 I still keep trying to do it again but B****d mobile phones lol

I should get the muppet award. While hitching up under pressure at home, I forgot to check the green button had popped up on the coupling. We swept majestically out of our street under the admiring gaze of a neighbour, there was a bang from the back and when I checked in the mirror, the 'van was gone!!

we backed up to find it forlornly resting on the tarmac. We wrestled back onto the car, double checked the grenn button, and slunk into a layby to check for damage. Nothing serious, apart from my pride. Now my OH checks for the button...when she remembers...

It was on our very first caravan outing many years ago in an old Bessacar.

The table was the old design where one end hooked into a slotted channel on the front wall and the other end had a central folding leg.

Needless to say I hadn't snapped the leg down properly and 4 x bowls of tomato soup slid quickly onto the carpet.

I was sent to get more water ( as yes we only had a hand pump in those days ). On my my return I trod in some dog cak and trod that in as well.

One things springs to mind.   We are driving along with caravan on the back, someone passes us, beeps, looks like they are sticking their two fingers up to us, angry harry next to me (Im driving) is nearly out the passenger side window sticking his fingers up to the car , now in front of us.   Gets home NO SKYLIGHT!!! will never jump to conclusions again.   LOL

Many years ago our whole family used to travel to Scotland from Doncaster in a convoy of at least 4 caravans.  I used to drive my parents small car loaded with his inflatable boat, fishing gear, spare nephews etc.  One year we couldnt make it on the planned day, so my sister drove the car up, and we followed on a couple of days later. 
We'd got the van loaded, hitched on the car, and just done all the lights checks.  Hubby drove off with a cheery wave...."meet you on the A66 services".......leaving me in the middle of the storage site on a farm, miles from civilisation and in days before mobile phones.
Apparently they sat at the services for well over an hour, until my youngest - aged about 6 years at the time, asked how long would it take mummy to walk this far?
