Hi Graeme An ideal car is perhaps a Fiesta or Corsa. Both a smallish size to start but with a big car feel. (I should be selling!!) Age wise is not so much of an issue. As long as it's in good condition and looks smart and clean you should be ok. I always get asked what car is it (Corsa) but...

Hi Plotter Be careful with a franchise with the larger firms ie BSM or AA.They charge about

Hi Plotter, Decided for a career change 5 years ago and trained to become an approved driving instructor. (ADI) It's an expensive career to train for (

We love the "slightly quirky snobbery" factor on site. Me and the clan (1 wife 2 kids, 6 years & 2 years and a tad noisy!!!) have just returned from a site near Wickham. Lovely site, been there before, local to us etc. One morning a gent in a caravan opposite treks to shower block wearing a...

Paul We live not far from Fareham (Eastleigh) and we store our van very nearby in a secure storage site, cctv etc. I do believe it has a bronze or silver security award and I would highly reccomend it. Our storage is about

Hi Mireille This has probably the cleanest, warmest cosiest shower blocks that I (and my family including 2 very young kiddies) has ever had the need to use!! Very friendly family run site that I would go back to, if you have kids go to the grass pitches, lots going on. Hard standing areas...

Hi Gill Hardstanding is usually a concrete base for the van and gravel where the awning goes. Would be pretty mean expecting you to hammer a peg in concrete!! Personally I would much rather have a grass pitch (can use plastic pegs, lighter etc and much softer underfoot!) Early or late season...

How do you keep a smile on your face? I take my hat off to you for putting up with the British public at their most cheesed off state ie Wheres my plane etc. Whats wrong with a frozen turkey? Is it classed as a dangerous weapon now or what? (I've eaten a few dangerous cooked ones!!)

I will try and get all my pupils to go and attend a ROSPA course.I'm sure they would love to realise that passing the test is the very LOWEST standard of driving that they need to be on the roads solo. Trouble is they think they are the dogs whatsits. Kids eh? he he Have encouraged some to go...

Thanks all for your advice. Can tow with confidence when "the season" starts again. Simon V

Ouch, three, bet that hurt. But then again you can't put a price on safety. Merry X-mas

Hi all and a Merry Christmas. I have a tow vehicle with a space saver spare wheel. If I was to get a flat, would the spare get me any distance whilst towing? Or should I get a "normal" spare at great cost. Why are they called "space savers"? Almost as big as any other wheel!! Happy...

I know the 85% rule and so on, I'm pretty sure my outfit is matched ok. Just need some experienced feedback to put my mind at rest. Am towing with a Ford Focus 1.8 Ghia Estate (petrol)2001. Caravan is a Lunar Zenith four (2003 spec, Not the newer heavier mod) Load the car up pretty well (have...
