    do you use your Toilet and Shower?

    Hi, we also have a combined toilet and shower compartment. We use the toilet to the full. I am quite willing to empty it if my husband is not around. Having picked up after dogs and changed nappies, emptying the toilet cassette it is no worse. I was always wary of using the shower. I looked at...

    CUT-UP, PUT-UP OR SHUT-UP...

    Years ago there were roadworks on the motorway near us. In order to get on to a dual carriageway which filtered off, cars had to join the queue in the left hand lane as the right hand lane of the dual carriageway was closed. Night after night drivers would deliberately skip the queue and cut in...

    Car alarm keeps going off

    Simple suggestion, but it caught us out with the first car we had an alarm fitted in, have you left a vent open? The air blowing in from outside will set the internal sensors off.

    What on earth is happening in this country?

    'build more prisons' '10 years should mean 10 years' All very well but what is the point when most of these criminals are not bothered about going to jail? Prisons need to be a punishment, not just a removal of freedom. The experience of being in jail should be one of fear, humiliation...

    Who is in the club

    Hi, We are in both the CC and C&CC.We find that standards are higher with the CC - washrooms are better quality, roads around the site tend to be tarmac with no pot holes and pitches tend to be level. Anything that makes setting up a bit easier is welcome as my mother and I often tow our vans...

    Fixed Bed Caravans

    Hi Eileen, We bought our first van a few years ago and quickly decided it would be a fixed bed. I found the idea of sleeping on unsprung foam cushions night after night quite awful. We have removed the mattress from the fixed bed, put it in a spare bedroom and installed a standard sprung...

    British Justice System

    I think we are all using the wrong terminology here. It is the British Legal System - when the hell has it ever had anything to do with justice or fairness? I remember sitting watching telly with my father, I would have been about 9 years old. The news came on and we sat and listened. After a...

    Women only car parks

    Sad thing about this picture is that it could so easily be genuine! So many times I have witnessed women using the 'Reversing By Ear' method i.e. slowly reverse backwards while looking forwards, wait for the bump as you hit the bumper of the car behind you, then move forwards 12 inches and...

I was born in Peterborough, but have spent the last 30 years living in the west of Scotland however,I have had enough of the rain and cold and have finally persuaded my husband to move south. We like Norfolk but are worried about flooding...

    WHAT TO DO ABOUT DANGEROUS DOGS - AND THOSE JUST PLAIN VICIOU...

    What a terrible story, I do hope that your dog gets better soon and soon forgets this awful attack. The death of the baby was dreadful but I feel that we are too quick to blame the dogs, and especially the type of dog. I live beside a river with an open area beside it where people like to walk...

    Scenic auto

    Sorry to hear that Renault still persists with these ridiculously low towing figures for the Scenic. We did not think we could afford an Espace either.We drooled over the one in the showroom but at

    Scenic auto

    Please be very careful with Renault towing figures. We owned a 2002 Renault when we conidered buying a caravan. The book stated a higher figure for driver only, but a limit of 1000kgs for any other situation. After consulting our dealer who knew nothing, we e-mailed Renault UK and eventually...

    4x4 Debate

    I was dusting today and as usual dusted the globe. I like to sit and look at it for a while and I am always reminded how very small Great Britain is compared to the rest of the world. I see little point in increasingly abusive exchanges between owners of different types of car in this country...
