Good to hear that your problem is solved. However Adobe Acrobat is a very big piece of software which comes with many 'bells & whistles' (ie options). As a result, it's very slow to open, takes up a lot of space and lots of computing power. If all that's required is the fast opening of Pdf...

I think that if the writer of the original letter reads the proposal form she filled in when she applied for the insurance she will find that there is a question asking where the caravan is to be stored. If she didn't fill in her storage place as the address of the farm then she is at fault. If...

We've had one of these canopies for a couple of years now and use it on our 3-month camping trip to Europe (France, Spain Portugal etc). We've had absolutely no problems and think it marvellous. It's very popular on continental campsites. One small point - contrary to the previous post, we've...

Yes, you're right - sorry. Once you come off the ferry there's a drive through the docks for half a mile or so. Then there's a roundabout or two then you hit the traffic - and it's usually very busy, particularly around the time when the ferry gets in. That's the bad news ! Having said all that...

Hi, the Name of the site is Camping Lescale, the name of the village is Le Grand Bornand and it's near to the bigger ski resort of La Clusaz. We've skied at La Clusaz during the winter and it's a good resort but quite low so not very 'snow sure'. WE've stayed at Camping Lescale during the...

Try www.morethan.com The cost of their breakdown insurance (including european cover) can rarely be beaten.

Try www.touring-caravan-insurance.co.uk I've found them very cost effective and efficient. Just moved to them after 3 years with NFU, who seem to have increased their premiums significantly of late.

For made-to measure bedding contact : Keys of Clackton wwww,keysbedding.co.uk We used them a few years ago and they were excellent.

Sorry, in the second main paragraph of my post - I should have said that I'm looking for an insurer to extend my Car insurance.

We are retired and are fortunate to be able to spend up to about three months touring with our caravan in Europe each year. I am finding it increasingly difficult (if not impossible) to find Home (Building and Contents) insurance with an Insurance Company who will accept us being away from home...

Can I just express a different opinion on the Portsmouth to Bilbao ferry. We've now used it four times over the last few years (well, we live in Scotland and have to accept a long haul to the ferry but after that we prefer to get on holiday as quickly as possible). Yes, I accept that there are...

I am really bored by all the debate about 4x4s - how about talking about something interesting for a change ??

The item is still available on Ebay - take a look at the item via the URL supplied by Nicholas. Then click on the sellers shop link, the search the shop page for MP3 - it will show lots of gadgets for MP3s, including the one recommended by Nicholas.

I would think that this is just another of these rumours aimed at 4x4 owners. 4x4 is a very general term and you can get all sorts of 4x4 vehicles from a very small 2-door Fiat up to large Range Rovers and the like. There's also lots of vehicles (like my X-Trail) which has 4x4 capability but...

Yes, the Nationwide credit card has no charges for purchases anywhere worldwide. However, it does charge interest on ATM cash withdrawals from the date of withdrawal. The Caravan Club credit card also charges interest on ATM withdrawals. As someone who spend some months abroad each year in our...
