I wondered what the funny taste was, but didn't like to mention it! LOL
You'll need an extra special double choc coated one AND a slug of something fairly heftily alcoholic in your cuppa by the end of today, by the looks of things! ;-)
aye, read about that disaster Parksy, also there was the theft at Dover docks when a full cargo container was stolen overnight,
police are saying they are suspecting a gang of hardened criminals.

Valerie, I'm with you on this one.
Pity people have allowed themselves to digress off topic to make the thread inapropriate!!
Especially as they are expected to maintain and set standards.
I think it's about time that the clubs did the same as the private sites do over peak periods. That is to charge full fee upfront with no refund on cancellation without proof of reason why, ie doctors note or hospital discharge letter etc.
To book pitches on sites year on yaer and then cancel at the last minit is bad enough, but to openly gloat that for years that is what has been done is down right selfish, inconsiderate and I would of expected it to of been something that caravanners of the calibre we proport to be, would condem and not gloss over with childish banter.
Perhaps the PC management should look at this thread and act appropriately.
I for one can honestly say that in nearly 30 years of caravanning, have only had to cancel once and did so with a doctors note despite not actually having paid any deposit, so as not to ruin good will between me and the site owner.

P.S. I've copied this thread to print it out should the need arise, as I do with mosst of my postings purely as I have a dodgy dongle signal.

Morning Steve
I am afraid I am one of the digressors here. You'll gather there's been a bit of a scrap with some of our ladies and thus I think a little light banter and laughter can often help to diffuse a ticking bomb.
I've thrown down my own gauntlet, see my reply to Valerie 2.12.2009 08.24pm.
Cheers

The sniping at other forum members because of a Caravan Club matter has to stop.
Steve in Leo, there were several postings removed and an argument had developed, perhaps you would have preferred me to have let it go on until forum members were suspended?
Sometimes a bit of light good humour or 'childish banter' as you put it can remove some of the sting from actions that I have to take as a moderator.
I hadn't realised that there was a rule which states that a thread must never ever digress from the original posting, I'll look it up sometime.
When I find it maybe your comments about asylum seekers / prescription charges / job centre staff/ hospital delays in another thread will have to come under the microscope, who knows?

stave in leo,
whenever did some friendly banter thats posted in a thread mean it was going off topic ?.
there are lots of members in here who read the posts and at times can agree or disagree with the content of them. there are also times when it is an opportune moment to post something with a bit of humour (thats having a laugh and a good time by the way) to others who have replied.
in no way would i hijack someones thread, respect given for what they are posting about.
so, get a wee bit of a grip and dont come across like a girls blouse, sad day if we cant have some fun.
