Yes, I used roughly double the amount of fuel than I would have if I'd checked the 12n socket before we left home 🫣Dont forget the cost of fuel you used as well Parksy
PS. Enjoy your two weeks away, I know where you're going, lovely site and you'll be looking out to sea from your pitch.
We're in our usual row of pitches, with a view of the Atlantic from the front windows Kev, first time out for us this year 😁
I also know where you are going have a nice time on your pitch looking out to sea and a safe journey .

It would have been lovely to see you both Hutch.
I hope that everything is OK with you and E.
We've been enjoying a steady Friday evening tow down the M5, and we're chilling out for an hour now at Taunton Dene services, which is about the half way point for us.
We can pull up on the early arrival field to sleep for a few hours when we reach Polmanter.

The problem we seem to have is to pin down dates when everyone is free or can commit to. I had a go at organising a Spring meet for earlier this year, but dates were elusive. Maybe sSpring next year?
Mel
Sorry folks I got tired of trying to find places to suit all and then dates, and then nobody able to confirm, due to school holidays etc.
Ourselves have hospital appointments at very Random times as we all know you cannot miss.
Please, if anyone wishes to suggest a site and a date. Please post it and see what happens. Remember a few of the "Older, haha) prefer a FsP.
Dave A1, We are at The Red lion , Ridgemont Bedfordshire, from the Tuesday. 29th August for 4 nights. £20 pn.
After that we are free.

My wife could write a book about incidents that would justify my qualifications to join this prestigious club.
One of the non dangerous very stupid ones happened when we were on holiday with friends in Florida:
I drove us to a huge shopping mall and parked the non descriptive white rental SUV in the car park ( this car park wraps around 3 sides of the mall) and we went in one of the many identical entrances.
When we came out it was pouring with rain so we told the ladies to wait inside while we got the car and drove it up to the entrance for them to get in……
45 mins later we found the car …. Have you any idea how many white non descriptive SUV’s there were parked up at the time???
Even the entrance didn’t help as a reference point cos they were all the same!!
We got drenched, it was still raining when we found the car and guess what…. Within 5 mins the rain stopped.

As will be confirmed by others, you are fully qualified for Woosie status and, if ever get ourselves organised enough for a meet you would be more than welcome to join us.
Mel
Many thanks for inviting me to join this esteemed and prestigious group.
Having spent my whole life qualifying I feel I can stand tall ( if that’s possible at 5ft8🤣🤣🤣) as an equal amongst my peers and feel proud to walk the corridors of power ( obviously I will try not to trip over fresh air or bump into anything).

Steve, sounds like you may well walk tall amongst the Lower troupe of Woosies, some say we are a bunch of Hobbits. Grey and Gafferbill excepted.
Okay, here's my bid to join the esteemed Woosie Club.
A couple of months ago my wife and I were staying in Northumberland. We went into Seahouses for lunch and to draw some cash from a cash machine. The hole in the wall we chose was outside the Co-Op. I put my card in, entered my PIN, chose the cash amount and made some remarks to my wife about nothing in particular. The cash was duly dispensed and I waited patiently for my card to be returned to me. I waited, and waited but, the card didn't appear. A couple of people had then formed a queue behind us to whom my wife explained that the ATM had devoured my card. I then ventured into the Co-Op but, of course, they don't have access to the cash dispenser but the young lady in there did give me a number to ring. I went back outside and phoned the number while my wife explained to the growing queue that my card had been devoured and the cash machine wasn't working. The first message I got before being put through to a real live person was that if the ATM retains a card it can't be retrieved and I should contact my bank and cancel my card. This of course also means getting a new card and having to update every damn account that card is registered with. I then got put through to a lovely young lady to whom I explained my predicament, being on holiday, needing my card etc. etc. The lady asked me to confirm that cash had been dispensed and I said yes. She then went on to explain that cash isn't dispensed until the card has been retrieved to which I rather indignantly replied that it had in my case. At this point my wife nudged me, I turned to look at her and she was holding my open wallet and pointing to my debit card sitting in its pocket. I looked at her in horror, I had unconsciously removed my card from the ATM and replaced it in my wallet while chatting to my wife. I mumbled humble apologies to the lady on the phone explaining that my card had miraculously just popped out of the machine and all was now well, thanked her for her help and said goodbye as I kept my head down past the queue.
My wife has adopted a new phrase which she uses when I mess up now, ATM: Absolutely Thick Mate.
I think it's a bit harsh really but, well deserved I supose
