Just had a great week in the lakes but it is amazing how the feel of sites can change in a month or so, I use my van all year round but it was amazing watching people arriving who only use it from now onwards,
spent one evening getting slowly annoyed at one family. 3 kids 2 alsations. unloading 2 cars worth of stuff. alsations pegged out barking like mad, mum and dad putting awning up, all three kids flying round park on bikes one with stabilisers with that grinding noise plastic wheels make,
after half an hour kids leave bikes at one end of park and wnader back to MUM and dad for their scooters, another half hour flying round park every time passing their dogs barking again. Then one fell off starts crying mum drags him back to van leaving all three scooters outside a van next to use.
by this time stuff everywhere and dogs hyper kids screaming, they fire up the BBQ, dad puts on that much lighting fuel it would give the north korean space ships fuel, covers site in smoke and cooks his sausages to an inch of their lives with music on.
now you may be thinking I am an ols whinge bag but not true I am 29 but hate people thinking everything they do is their god given right. MY oh at this points can tell I am slightly annoyed but does not want me to go and have a word. I agree to this and have a beer, until two of the kids start going round the park on electric monster trucks for 10 mins.
so i wander over to casually fill up the aqua roll as it was needed and said to the bloke hi can i have a word, bhe replies what the **** do you want?
I replied to him that I could see where his kids gained their respect from but could he just wind them in a bit and tidy up as the park was for every one and that his language and that of his kids was not nice.
He replied in a way to tell me to go away and what was i going to do about it.
I simply stated that if he was prepared to find out that would be acceptable but did point out that I am 6ft 6 21 stone rugby player and he was somewhat smaller but if he wanted to find out leave the stuff there and i would come back in fifteen mins.
i walked back to my van,
By the time i had got back his kids had collected their stuff, and theyt were all inside.
best thing is they left the next morning just after 9.
Bliss.
I hate people not playing by the rules.....maybe expect on a rugby pitch if the ref is looking the otherway
