    F1 Grand Prix Fans

    Sadie, Being unspeakably jealous I must disagree on principle with whatever you say and try to ridicule it, but otherwise would admit you make a lot of valid points. I have been an avid F1 Fan since the late 50's and have been lucky enough over the years to attend many Grand Prix's in...

    Would you store your caravan near a travellers site?

    I have issues with discrimination against any group , whether socio-economic, racial, cultural, religious or sexual. If that sounds rather pedantic and arrogant so be it. Having witnessed the results of mindless bias and prejudice (albeit not as a victim) I will fight any group's corner who are...

    Jo..Congratulations, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Whilst I am not an ardent royalist , were I to be given the opportunity to attend a Royal Garden Party I would jump at it, as would most of us if we were honest.

    Why bother !

    We have used Camping Cheques for several years now and find them excellent value for money. I have only found one site in their handbook I wasn't prepared to stay at, the others have all been of a high standard. Why go aborad? 1) Fully serviced pitches are the norm not the exception in most of...

    I don't visit this forum often these days, and when I see the number of threads/discussions that appear to consist of petty sniping and point snoring I remember why. Perhaps if people made their points without personal attacks, or crticism of a Forum that because of it's nature and commercial...
