Clive, Hi, thanks for the reply. I concede to the fact that it (the meet) should be a pleasurable experience and so will think again about attending when confirmation of the dates and venue are confirmed.

Why am I talking to myself???

Derek me old chum I think you might have a good point there. Take Kanga and myself for examples. He his a great bloke who loves caravanning and would help anyone in any situation and yet there are those who are quick to pretend that they think they know him. He would probably/hopefully say the...

I too would not be able to attend such a meet. I feel that the animosity between certain members on the website is enough to put me off at least,if not others. If people want to 'steer clear' then that is their choice and I can understand why they may wish to. I have found this forum to be...

Hello Daventura, sorry that it has come to this but my opinion, for what its worth, is I dont think that he should have been banned because he has not been so personally abusive of late. but of course it is up to the Mod. in this case. However I do hope that he (the mod.) is very careful and...

I love it as it is too! Cheers, Derek.

I too will miss his unique way of contributing to this forum, not to everyones liking I know. However, it is a shame that the decision to ban him was made at a time when he seemed to be tempering his way of responding. Being a relative new-comer I sometimes feel that I shouldnt be seen to show...

Yes deborah, I too have struggled to get a coherent progression on a particular topic. My computer has been down for a while and so I have had to do some catching up recently and thats how I encountered this problem that you are referring to. I didnt know whether I was going to enjoy this forum...

Not to us Im afraid Peter, I expect shredded wheat didnt appeal to them! However I cant thank you enough for the recommendation to this sight. Although we had been to Bridgnorth umpteen times before its amazing how different a place can become when you have just a little more time to enjoy it...

Hi everyone. Just got back from my first outing with the 'van. A great weekend away and I enjoyed it very much. But how can you all be so selfish! As a newcomer I find these type of topics that you refer to very helpful for beginners. This I found out first hand on my first time ever for...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have now joined the caravan club and the camping and caravanning club (even booked on a towing course). As a first outing I am going to Stanmore Hall as its only about 10-15 miles away so can get back home if I have forgotten anything. Thanks to...

Just had my towbar fitted, ready to go on my first ever caravan outing. I live in Telford Shropshire and for my first trip I am looking for somewhere this weekend no more than @ 2 hours drive. greatful for any suggestions. cheers, Derek.

Sorry, forgot to post what I was going to say. We take our pet lamb with us, but alas its only a draught excluder that stops the cold air coming in from the gap at the bottom of the door and the frame.

I thought the plan was to ignore comments that you personally didnt like.

Kanga, I dont think you are as annoying as some might think. At times you show your more natural side. I think that you might be obsessed with winding some members up just 'for a laugh'. However I did read somewhere on the forum that it was a possibility that you and another member (who you...
