    Woolsbridge Manor Caravan Park- Dorset

    hi, i mistook it for another site and reccommended it to my boss, who didn't enjoy his stay there at all. he mentioned a grass track circuit behind the site which was used by young lads at all hours. sorry, but it might be worth checking out? dave.

    strange 'leccy probs.

    just got back from a long week-end away. this time it was for 3 nights on battery, and we discovered two problems: 1, we always carry two 110amp batteries when without hook-up and generally find the one battery will 'just about' do for three fairly heavy days use. this weekend however, we...

    ALL ALONE IN FRANCE

    darrell, driving in france is nothing like driving in the uk, it's an absolute pleasure!! sure, to start with it's daunting, but i'll bet that towing for the first time was too? please don't worry, the road signs are far better than here, display more relevant information and are often larger...

    Double glazing

    a poor quality window fitted properly is better than a good one fitted poorly. my best mate has been a fitter for over twenty years. he's always said that the only 'iffy' part of fitting is when the house is rendered... maybe word of mouth for a local team?

    sealant peeling away
