Was talking about this the other day. A work colleague told me a neighbour had the Range Rover stolen off the drive. The thieves managed to jam the well known brand of video doorbell (by all accounts it isn't rocket science), rendering it useless (half an hour of footage missing) and then...

Had ours since Feb, the dealer slung in a gas bottle & a hitch lock. It came with chocks, a step, wheel brace and waste water carrier. Take a short trip (our first was about 3 miles to a Campsite owned by a friend), that way you'll know where the local shops are when you realise what you are...

You can get one of these on amazon with 100GB. Might be worth a look. I've never bought one (and I don't get paid by Amazon), but looks like a possible option...

Evening, We got our first caravan in February. So far, 4 trips. Every time we think of something else... Along with everything already listed, Hook to pull the awning through the channel (with a bit of washing up liquid), & steps if you are not tall enough (like me!) Gardening knee pad from...

I once tried to get through the security swipe door at work with my bank card (the bank was across the road and I was going to the cashpoint and had bank card in hand). Had a queue behind me "tutting" then realised my pass was around my neck and swiping a visa card wouldn't let me out! But one...

Rang them this morning to cancel the race tickets, operational issues is lack of staff

Anyone else had a booking cancelled because of operational issues? Pretty irritating as we have tickets for the races on the date we were staying with the evening entertainment. The whole point of the trip was the convenient stayover!

Once went to France (renting a house, no caravan), navigated all the way to the village. Then realised that I'd left the address on the dining table! I wasn't the most popular person in the car with the wife and 3 kids. Found a house with life outside so went and asked the man in my best French...

There was a show in the BBC a few weeks ago where they were listening in on scammers calling. One recommendation was to call them out. Ask them repeatedly if they are scammers. Eventually they will hang up. The companies that run these scams are massive, run out of call centres mixed with...

For the small annual fee they are a bargain. Not worrying about losing the ticket is worth the cost in itself (long time ago, Fiat Tempra, ashtray was safe storage place, dismantling at the booth when it swallowed the ticket......). Not towed a caravan with one yet but I recommend them to anyone.

Done it loads of times. F1 are cheap, Campanile are good (and our kids always liked the desert selection in the restaurant). In Dunkirk - Dune hotel is good value and close to the ferry terminal If you stop at Clermont-Ferrand, there is a selection just of the exit of the A71. Hotels.com...
