    automatic or manual

    Hi Ray I had a look at the X-Trail before I got the Mazda and I could get into it. The biggest problem for me is the price of the road tax on the 4X4's now and I don't see it getting any better. I am looking at a Mondeo or Passat but I have read good and bad about both so I am stuck right now...

    Marton Mere blackpool

    I would have to say that I would never be back on this site again. I was in Blackpool a few years back and I went to visit the site. It looked pretty good so we decided to book up for two weeks in the summer. I couldnot wait to get off of it. There were travellers on it and they used to start...

    Weymouth site with disabled facilities

    Hi Jo-Anne When I first looked up the site I thought I had it wrong as it came up with Brixham. When we stayed in Paignton we loved it but I really liked Weymouth so I wanted to go back there but everything is an option right now so I won't rule it out. Many thanks Dougy

    scotland caravan club sites

    disabled parking

    I agree with Kelly. Why don't they put a number of disabled or blue badge bays near to the entrance and then put some further away. Do the same with parent and child bays, put a number close to the door and then put some further away. I bet there would not be the abuse there is now. What I...

    disabled parking

    Diane Please accept my apologies as my post was not meant to be a personal attack, I was just trying to highlight the fact that I thought that removing Disabled parking bays was over the top. The whole parking 'Blue Badge' parking scheme is all wrong. I think it has to be looked over again and...

    disabled parking

    Hi folks With regards to Diane's comments, 'Sorry guys but the who-ha over disabled bays get my goat! Personally I think they should take them away!' This is a great idea and I would love to park my car next to you in a car park. I am wheelchair dependent and I do need extra space to get my...
