Then read this, keep reading all the way. I have tears in my eyes.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 09/04/2022 07:45

brilliant.

am sorry I missed her on the telly-did anyone catch it?

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 09/04/2022 07:48

Thank you, so funny! I always loved Adrian Mole, still do!

ThreeRingCircus · 09/04/2022 07:48

My sister is the opposite of a hoarder. If you stand still too long in her house you'll find yourself in the bin.

This bit really made me laugh Grin

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 09/04/2022 07:49

Oh just realised it was radio not telly.

@Mumdiva99 I read it like it was being written by a woman as well.
So interesting!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/04/2022 07:51

Loved that, thanks OP!

trulyconfuseddotcom · 09/04/2022 07:51

@Cattenberg I wondered the same too. Either way, it's pure comedy gold!

Mummyoflittledragon · 09/04/2022 07:59

@Cattenberg

It is funny, but the further I read, the more I think the seller is an Adrian Mole-style comedy character created by an author called Natalie Chandler.
He’s been a member of eBay since 2006. So I think it’s genuinely a guy, no?

In any case, this is truly hilarious!

geillisduncan · 09/04/2022 08:01

Loved reading that. I thought it was a woman too. Comedy gold, hilarious. Cool caravan too.

That's great, thanks for sharing 😂

Xtraincome · 09/04/2022 08:05

Brilliant find! This guy is hilarious 😂

Libre2 · 09/04/2022 08:09

Has anyone messaged him to say he made the heady heights of Mumsnet?

Sswhinesthebest · 09/04/2022 08:09

Have you seen the price of some of the other vintage caravans that are come up in the bottom section. Ridiculous prices. I hope they get a good sum for this one.

StCharlotte · 09/04/2022 08:17

Aah, this brings back memories of the bloke selling a car in a ditch about 30 years ago. The Q&As on that were brilliant.

BeforetheFlood · 09/04/2022 08:20

I deffo reckon this is clever, next-level marketing for a book, but hats off for ingenuity! And if it raises money for the BHF even better. Thanks for sharing OP!

Humbold · 09/04/2022 08:23

Thanks for sharing that OP Smile

DobbyTheHouseElk · 09/04/2022 08:26

Initially I thought it was a woman writing it. I want to believe it’s real.

NETSRIK · 09/04/2022 08:32

I want to marry him.

Hyenaormeercat · 09/04/2022 08:38

That's given me the giggles this morning, as a caravanner, I'm sure my kids will say similar stuff about us taking them away. 😅

gogohm · 09/04/2022 08:50

Brilliant. Don't want a caravan but the triumph I would love. Really fancy restoring a carGrin
