A caravan show in Birmingham is a weighty burden ....you have my sympathy.. I don't understand why it's OK to take the piss out of caravan owners? They may have young children who may read these comments and get hurt by them. Isn't caravanning the same as narrowboating? Or boating with a wide beam canal boat or larger boat? You are just transporting something heavy and a load of shit with it? Surely the spirit of the adventure is the same? Many years ago I took my family (and my young daughters at the time) to a caravan club site which accepted a few campers like us. There was a bloke sunbathing in a mankini in full view of everyone. My daughters and wife thought this was highly entertaining, I decided there and then that caravans were not going to be my thing. Am I missing a trick?

It was common for us (my sisters and me) to visit our aunt in Norfolk when we were little. The field behind her cottage was a CCC site. Visiting caravans. Being someone who likes to have a look around I discovered they were emptying their shit into a rectangular hole about the size of a grave down the end of the field where it was boggy. I guess they filled it in after.
I have no other memories of the caravanners at all.

Yes, but why waste your life on something pointless? well - he has fake rivets... Does Nick have fake rivets on his glider? Bugger I forgot, we use tape to fill the gaps...

I could be referring to the fact the show is in Birmingham whose crazy road system is dreadful to navigate.... Your perception of the meaning of my post is yours.....

There was a bloke sunbathing in a mankini in full view of everyone. I had to look this up but my suspicions are confirmed: I'm not sure if this would bother me or not. As long as "Throw the Jew down the well" is not a euphemism for 'getting to know me better'. Have you watched any “Who is America?” Foxy?

I know, it took me a while to get round that, too. But it's true. Moor your car at Hereford and let the train take the strain. They certainly do have trains in Birmingham. In fact one of the largest civil engineering projects in recent history in the UK involves construction of a railway line specifically designed to allow people to get away from Birmingham as fast as possible without flying.

Oooooh,I love a scone with jam & clotted cream.😋 I can't stand it when people pronounce "scone" as "scone" when every right-thinking person knows it is pronounced "scone". What's the fastest cake in the west?

I went into a baker's shop in Glasgow, pointed to an item in the window and said "Is that a cake or a meringue?". He said "Nae, yer wrang".

The myopic AWOL father in law used to tell a good story about the cafe at Derby Railway station. While waiting for his train he went in to the platform cafe for a pot of tea - the big West Indian lady serving him picked up a plate of assorted cakes and offered him one to go with his pot of tea - 'I'll have that eclair please' - 'THAT'S NOT AM ECLAIR! THATS MA THUMB!!' came the booming reply 🤦♂️🙈🧐 He was from Melbourne, Derbyshire which would go along way to explaining the confusion.
