Most people here have got it right in my view. I have camped, caravanned, motor caravanned, trailered (tent) and now have an FC. I've also stayed in hotels, guest houses and rented cottages. The FC suits me at the moment, although I can see a day coming (not too soon I hope) when I will be too old to cope with it. Then it will be a case of think again.

The one thing I doubt if I will do any more is to get into one of those tin tubes and take to the air. As well as being highly dangerous following 9/11, Lockerbie etc. they are high on my list of unnecessary pollutants, and I don't fancy being cooped up with all those strangers for hours on end. All this despite having been an aircraft engineer in the Fleet Air Arm.

well i think the man's right & i've put the van up for sale & booked a guest house in cleethorpes for 4 week's & 7 weekend's this year

Just pity the poor, ignorant soul.  He obviously doesn't have as much fun in his empty, dull life as we caravanners and motorhomers do and so has nothing better to do with his time than write ridiculous and clueless letters to his local paper.  Next time you are all sat outside your vans with a glass of ice cold beer or a glass of wine, chilling out around your bbq or waking up to some beautiful setting just think of him stuck in his hotel or bed and breakfast guest room having to eat at a set time in a dining room full of noisy diners all queing up greedily for their full english. Think of him sleeping on some parasite filled mattress that hundreds of former guests have slept on and thank god for your nice fresh sheets and mattress. Think of him stuck in the same place for the week - even if he hates it and then remind yourself just how free you are and how you can just up and go as the fancy takes you.  Just feel sorry for the twit and ignore his shallow and ignorant outlook. Hee hee - we ought to all take him on a rally and show him just what fun he is missing out on.

I dunno - some people have some really weird attitudes towards caravanners and motorhomers etc dont they?  What ever's wrong with folk?

I am afraid that some people have nothing better to do in their lives, than sit writing letters from behind net curtains watching others have a life.

We have the same kind of person living near us and all he does is watch everyone else he moved here from the South and has since posted several letters to our local papers moaning about the World and his Wife, why don't these people find a Hobby or do something good for someone else instead of worrying what everyone else is doing (this guy even gets upset if some child plays on the pavement outside his house for ten minutes) and knocks on the window whilst shouting 'you can't play there' he lifts up his curtain and glares at anyone who dare park anywhere within shouting distance, and if a bit of litter dropped by someone dares to float on his garden he throws it back into the road.

I am afraid there is no hope for some folk, never mind whilst we are out enjoying ourselves maybe he and the guy that wrote this letter are sat at home wondering what they can moan about next, pity them that is what I say at least we can look back and remember the good times, and just think they/he will never know what it is like cos they are too busy worrying about what others are up to.
