    Dog cr*p everywhere

    Hi JP Sadly one of my neighbours does not like cats. He doesn't like slugs either so puts down slug pellets which seem to have seen off all the Hedgehogs in the area. I was also found to be illegally putting down rat poison as we live near a stream. Personally I prefer to let nature take its...

    Identity Fraud "Top" Postcodes

    From what I understand if there is any raised plastic moulding where you insert you card you should be suspicious. You should try to detach it or wiggle it - if you can or it comes away in your hand then stand your ground and ring the police. It is only from an email and cannot be verified but...

    another bad experience of caravan club I am afraid

    I think the majority of people would agree that most caravanners are a great lot - willing to help one another and sort any problem out. I know we were grateful of the help offered by others when we first started after years under canvas. I have never experienced anything like what some on...

    another bad experience of caravan club I am afraid

    I too just do not recognise any "incident" outlined above as representative of ANY site we have used, CC or otherwise. In fact I would say the only bolshyness I have EVER experienced re Caravanning is on this Forum! Representative of the good natured friendliness, helpfulness and camaraderie...

    I know the feeling! - How amazing that on a caravan forum you find yourself second guessing what the "Thought Police" might attack you on. Sign of the times though it seems to me.

    I suppose Cash is the safest option now. I filled up yesterday, after all I just happened to have a spare

    Could not agree more. If you do not like what is happening around you then take the appropriate steps to change. With us, the adult only sites have rejuvenated our enjoyment of caravanning. We are not miserable of f*rts - far from it but we have had our kids and want a bit of peace when we go...

    Dog cr*p everywhere

    Good Grief - out comes all the nonsense re dogs are bad/good and what about cats!!!! We have three cats and two dogs The cats actually keep down the vermin though they do occasionally take a bird. But what they mostly kill is mice and rats and I have no problem with that. We pick up after us...

    Identity Fraud "Top" Postcodes

    Yep! Martin That is exactly what happened here according to our local paper. The family connection allowed considerable internet fraud from scammed credit cards before the link was made. It was big news here! The family running the station had a device fitted to the card holder that recorded...

    Sky Receiver Reviews good/bad

    To be honest with the crap that is on Sky, we really should not be paying for it. We went from the all singing all dancing package to the basic one when they started charging for films and sports events, they did not like it and tried VERY hard to change our minds. The repeats are such that a...

    Identity Fraud "Top" Postcodes

    Just picked this up on Yahoo News. But note we live out in the sticks and a fairly small local petrol station was scamming cards cards in our local town a while ago so it can happen anywhere. The worst-affected postcode areas for identity fraud in the UK are: 1. SE16 Greenwich2. CR0 Croydon3...

    another bad experience of caravan club I am afraid

    To be fair we have experienced this sort of behaviour on several sites not just CC sites which to us have always been well run and not so much of a problem. Those with families tend to respect others I have found. But at the risk of the wrath of every parent who believes that kids should be...
