My assumption is you are an Airstream owner who frequents caravanning venues with other blue rinse, oneup types :p :p

Should you lower yourself to CL / value for money sites then fortunately for me your anti social, miserable gitness and childish behaviour would have absolutely no effect on me in the morning :p :p

Not because of vino collapso in huge quantities straight from the box the night before :p :p

But cos i take my hearing aids out and am deaf to the sound of a disgruntled tea totaller attempting to make an unsocial noise :p :p

Happy camping :p :p

Whilst I can understand your irritation re those who make too much noise at night, aren't you just as guilty when you admit to being "noisey git" in the morning. Have some consideration for those of your neighbours who didn't make a noise at night. Do they really deserve to be woken early by your inconsiderate behaviour? If people are making too much noise why not just go over and ask them to keep their voices down as its getting late. If they don't, then speak to the site manager the following day. Alternatively try these:

KS, I cannot ever imagine you being one who drinks wine that comes out of some box with you tastes,

Come on everyone, play nicely. And do remember that tone can be hard to convey online – and that emojis don't always help. We are trying to enthuse people to get out there and enjoy caravanning!

This isn't the first time that I've mentioned that industrial language is not used on this forum.
Once more, I've edited the original post and subsequent quotes to remove the offending words. I'm not sure what you hope to add to this forum by attempting to lower standards of online behaviour by using bad language in your comments but I can assure you that I won't be editing your comments or issuing further warnings.
The next comment or quote that appears on these message boards containing the sort of language normally reserved for the factory floor will be completely removed with no further explanation.
If that post happens to be the first in a thread the entire thread will disappear with it.

Wow camel, you really dont get this caravanning lark do you. Chill out and go with the flow.

Just because one person has offended you the whole site doesnt need waking up at sparrows ....

Some of what you are saying smacks of jealousy and whilst i will admit there is a hint of one upmanship in caravanning we arent all the same. Instead of sitting there seething, fill your glass, wander over and say hello. You may get a pleasant surprise.

However, dont bring shandy. You will give the rest of us a bad name.

Oh for the old days. Staggering back to barracks, full of ale and face rammed into the soldiers compass (kebab). Did it get any better B)

Never done that... ever :whistle:

Some folk drink alcohol some don’t. I do. Whilst I agree that some folk can perhaps be a bit annoying after imbibing beverage, especially at 0200 hrs, most consumers of alcohol aren’t in my experience, that way inclined. We camp quite a lot off grid in the New Forest and you do quite often find, over bank holidays, large groups in tents enjoying a party but I put that down the availability of cheap, virtually disposable, camping sets; I have not found caravanning folk to be similarly minded.

Most of the rallies I've been on you would be considered a real woos if you gave up at two in the morning. UFO's don't come out until about three.
