Has PCv lost the plot?

Anyone remember the 17% mortgage rate? We too had it tough hence way back in the 70s a caravan gave me annual holidays and weekends away with the family.

I accept costs have risen but to take a family of four abroad is a kings ransom today.

I suspect you are correct Clive.

There are probably fewer younger caravanners now . Yet during the school holidays sites are rammed with young families. Plus families like my son uses his FiL caravan and tug for some trips🙉 Good old bank of mum and dad.
But the family mini, Puma etc is not a real tug.
Thinking back to the halcyon days of the PCv rallies at Stowford Farm Meadows there were quite a few youngsters even amongst the Woosies . All gone .

We’re doomed🙉🙀

In those days Woosies were youngsters.

I well remember the 17% mortgage rates as we had just bought a small holding and cottage on Dartmoor and we’re maxed out on mortgage too. Inflation had dropped from a high of around 25% but was still double figures, and I had a salary freeze too. My wife had to work nights at a care home and dropped the car off in the morning with engine still running. Yet we enjoyed our time down there.
