'joys' i dont think so, give me a hotel with running water and a flush toilet any day. However i did go caravaning a few times, but i was only about 4 yrs old at the time and didn't know no difference. I think i did enjoy it though.

I saw it - I have to admit that I was wondering just how they'd destroy it long before they did!

OK please tell me what is wrong with caravaning?

1.Its a cheap holiday for those of us who cant afford hotels etc.
2.With 2 kids and a dog its great for weekends(rallys etc).
3.It get the kids out into the countryside and fresh air.
4.You meet some great people on rallys etc.
5.You have the freedom to go where you wish and come back when you want without some landlady telling you when you must be back in your room.
Thats some of the resons we like caravaning or camping.Done them both.So whats wrong about that. Clarkson is nothing but a big headed asshole anyway.Bob.

At the moment we are saving up for a 4 berth caravan.We had a folding camper.Which cost £1,500 but I got made redundant so I had to sell it(needed the money).Before that we had a 2 berth caravan which cost us £800 with awning.We had that for 2 years untill Sean our oldest came along.We used to go out in it nearly every weekend on rallys etc plus holidays.I am hopeing to get a decent old 4 berth caravan for about £500 to £800 and do it up.That will be our weekends and holidays for quite a while.Bob

Thats right chow - attack another group of people for no reason what so ever. If you think they are death traps because you might crash into them with your incompetant driving - stay at home. Or are you actually arrogant enough to think you own the roads. Time waster - get a girlfriend, if you can find one which I doubt.

I'm just making sure of which side of the fence you're sitting on there Sarah Chow is clearly 'trolling' for knee-jerk responses, hence is best ignored.

cheers

Checking Sarah's profile shows two replies, both having a go at chow- that tell us anything? Like ignore them both?

Just a thought, I'll get back in my box now.
