That's exactly the opposite of what the nurse said when she weighed me for my annual heart check-up recently

Phew - I'm going for a lay down now - I've committed the Cardinal sin of thinking too much - think I'll apply for a job with Ace Caravans as an Ambassador

Did you not tell them to look for an Abbey,when you went through Oxford,or even Cambridge.? Did you use a Compass in those days,rather than a satnav? I bet you had a Cameo role in devising things to keep the kids busy.
Did you get an Award for it,or were you Crown ed king of the road?
You did a Sterling job in keeping the little Sprites amused! Well after all that,time for a Swift exit and I'll

Campsite snobbery, that's always the case..

We had the same when we had our folding camper..

My missus said " ours is paid for, bet theirs ain't " that's why they're stuck indoors all week!

I remember in the early eighties going camping with my then girlfriend to Devon, we went in a MKI Escort and had a four man frame tent so plenty of room, the young couple to us had a one man pup tent but drove up in a Humber Imperial
