Hi, Can anyone recommend family sites on the Aqitaine coast that are close to the surf but also have freshwater swimming pools / slides / activities on site etc. Idealy we would like to be near the coast for surfing. We are planning to sail to Bilbao then travel into France. Our children are...

I thought I'd saved it last time I read it on this forum...but obviously didn't ! If anyone has a copy, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Mike.

Hi, My 18 month old Sorento is showing quite a bit of tyre wear on the edges of the front tyres ( Nearside in particular ). The tread in the centre is fine. The dealer has told me it is because of the body roll of the car particularly on roundabouts " and if you drove in France on the other...

Thanks L.B. Merry Christmas to you. Mike

Sorry the title is so long ! I'm trying to find a joke that was posted here earlier this year. It was regarding a woman moving up through different floors of a department floor, trying to find the 'perfect' husband !! If anyone can remember the full joke I'd be grateful. Thanks. Mike.

An interesting statistic would be the number of 'no shows' the C/C experience over the year. An even more interesting statistic would be, "what do these 'no shows' cost the C/C in lost revenue over a year ?".....much gold me thinks !! Mike.

Just wanted to vent a bit of my frustration ! We were desperate to get onto a particular C/C site last weekend, to join up with friends who had already reserved a pitch there. The site was fully booked so I tried every day last week to see if there were any cancellations. Unable to book a...

Hi Martin, sorry if I didn't make myself clear. What I was trying to ask is whether or not people achieved better results from fuel purchased from Esso / Shell etc rather than Tesco / Asda etc. Regards, Mike.

Just lately I've spoken to a couple of people from work, both praising the fuel they have bought from non supermarket souces. They claim their fuel consumption is much improved, performance improved and the engine even 'sounds' better. I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same...

Hi, Has anyone tried one of the above awnings ? If so how are getting on with it ? We saw one on display at the weekend ( Lawns Show ) and were quite impressed. The bulk of the awning remains in a bag on the awning rail whilst in transit. Also, who sells them ( at competitive prices ! ) ...

Hi Carole, Like other posters have mentioned, you do get a much better 'deal' with your Tesco vouchers by spending them in the Tesco deals brochure. We have been saving ours over the last two years and have just booked a Virgin snow holiday in New England & Boston USA. (

Hello, Does anyone know what the appropriate gift is for a 21st wedding anniversary ?.....other than a medal / diamonds etc !! Thanks, Mike.

Thanks Metz, By the way, I think I may have possibly found the problem ! Last night when I switched the fridge on, I forgot to take off the exterior vents. Tonight as I was loading the van, I noticed they were on, removed them and then found the fridge to be at room temp. Could it be that the...

Hi, We switched on our fridge last night ( on mains hook up to our garage ) with a view to chilling it ready for our hols tommorrow, the green light has come on but the inside is still at room temperature..........Help ! I haven't tried it on gas yet. If the thermostat has broken, then does...

Hi, We're travelling on the Hull-Rotterdam Nth sea ferry next weekend and wondered whether or not I should disconnect the grey cable to my caravan to prevent discharging my battery ? We will be on board for approx 15 hours and although I'd like to keep the fridge cool, I didn't want a flat...
