Thank you Turbo, that's a massive help as we know next to nothing of Ireland, outside Dublin. I will look at the sites you mentioned. Road noise wouldn't put us off at all, if it was the right site. Do you think that sites in Ireland would need to be booked in advance or could we just roll up on...

We have decided to try Ireland for about 9 days at Easter and want to move around a bit, maybe doing 3 stops in total. We have two boys aged 9 and 12 and would like to finish off in Dublin. I've been to Ireland many times but only to Dublin and Cork, so don't really know which places to...

Sorry, posted in wrong section. Jo

Has anyone taken a tourer to Glastonbury Festival? We don't think we could do a tent, especially with the bad luck they seem to have every year with rain/mud. As it's so closely associated with tents, we wondered if the caravan pitches were a bit isolated and too far out of the way. We...

I thought my second posting, 3 mins after the first one, made it clear that I posted in this section accidentally. Evidently not.

Just realised I posted this in the wrong section, sure it doesn't matter. Jo

There is a really good temporary site each year opposite the main entrance in Long Ashton, just turn up and pay on the day. We've stayed there a couple of times as it's a much shorter walk at the end of the evening than the excellently run Cotham Park RFC site. Can anyone remember who runs the...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll give an iPhone app a go, I hadn't thought of that. I will persevere with mastering it without technology as well.

Anyone know how to use London buses? Obviously the tube is great, and simple to use, but when we visit London we find the buses less crowded (we have 2 kids) and better for taking in the sights. However, we just don't understand how to work out where to catch them. Not sure what the bus...

As you suggested the battery fully charged after 3 days. Cheers jo

Thank you, that's helpful. I'll leave it for 3 days and then put it back on. if it doesn't work I'll buy a new one. Cheers

We keep our van in storage and it hasn't been used since August. We checked on it yesterday and the lights wouldn't work, which we hoped was down to a flat battery rather than something more serious with the wiring for instance. The battery is relatively new, possibly 12 months or a bit more...

You make a good point Clive . It's only that his car is knocking on a bit and he clocks up quite a few miles. It's starting to cost quite a bit in maintenance. cheers, jo

I am trying to persuade my dad who is 70 to upgrade from his old diesel X Type to a nearly new XF, mainly because they seem very good value at present and the mpg looks excellent. He's reluctant partly because he has always liked his X Type and partly because he's not totally taken with the...

Hello We are thinking of buying a used E class estate and have found plenty of 2 to 3 yo examples at decent prices. We initially were going to get a Volvo V70 but they seem poor value second hand. Would welcome any advice particularly on engine size. We were minded to buy a 220 but find that...
