all year to save up enough money for a well earned camping in the uk holiday when your 15yr car breaks down 200 miles from home and you have to put a tent up in the rain, cancel activities that cost up to £600 and go in to debt because the car needs fixing.

It’s fucking shit

If there's no photo it didn't happen.

Ask me anything about it. I'm full of info after walking it for two weeks

AnnikaSettergren · 22/08/2024 22:57

No you didn't.

Delphiniumandlupins · 22/08/2024 22:57

I know a bus service which takes bikes but not sure it would manage 4 at once. Nor is it near S Wales. Nor Nepal.

Sure cuz that's how the world works.

Did you go to work yesterday?

Do you have a photo? It didn't happen so

You’re the bully coming in to attack OP for being “posh” for not doing something that wasn’t available to her! She couldn’t get her stuff on any bus! She couldn’t leave her car! Why on earth are you going on and on at her?

SparklyJadeFawn · 22/08/2024 22:58

AnnikaSettergren · 22/08/2024 22:57

No you didn't.

Don't be so jealous Annika.

What, like its hard?

I would say that humour is definitely not one of your strengths. Your posts are extremely dull, tedious and dry.

Is this meant to be an insult? You’re boring everyone now.

The absolute irony.

You said the exact same thing to me first. I was showing what your dull behaviour looks like. Can you not remember what you've said? That's a bit concerning

Glitterglitch · 22/08/2024 22:59

Thankfully I hang around with normal people

Do you also see dead people?

Do you? Are you OK? You sound like you need a bit of professional help

But the RAC wouldn’t have come out to an empty car.

You could have left a note saying you got the bus.

will accommodate 4 bikes

Why on earth do you have bikes? Don’t you know there are buses!!

😂😂😂😂 what a random thread this is turning to be

so @SparklyJadeFawn thinks if a car stops on.a motorway a family can empty their car of their tent, bikes, food, equipment - whilst on the motorway and then walk to find a random bus stop that can take her maybe 300 miles to the campsite she wants to go to.

I'm not sure if you're able to read. But op said her car stopped in a bus lay-by, and that there were buses available for her to take.

Go back and try to read.

You can do it!

AnnikaSettergren · 22/08/2024 23:01

@SparklyJadeFawn

That could be anyone. And it also could have also been taken at any time

Youre the one banging on about pics or it didnt happen, in a nasty way

The point is why are you so jealous that i climbed base camp everest.?

What, like its hard.

It was easy

AnnikaSettergren · 22/08/2024 23:05

@SparklyJadeFawn Are you for real?

I don't even think you've been to Suffolk by the way.

NCManager · 22/08/2024 23:06

Well I’VE been to the MOON

By bus

(the 144 to Acton, only goes further every second Thursday, I should complain actually)

What are you even on about. Why wouldn't I have been to Suffolk?

@SparklyJadeFawn Your PR campaign for Arriva seems to be backfiring. #musttryharder

IKnowAristotle · 22/08/2024 23:07

Hope you get sorted for tomorrow and can get on an enjoy the holiday. Is it Bike Park Wales? Weather is supposed to be better tomorrow as well.

Your trying to sound normal and not extremely weird is failing.

Try harder

You can do it!

But the buses just might not be going where she wanted to go.

For example, I live in a large Suffolk town, I thought about getting the bus to Walberswick. You can’t. There isn’t one. So how about Dunwich? Nope. I could go to the bus stop at the end of my road but unless I want to go to the local hospital I’d be out of luck.

SparklyJadeFawn · 22/08/2024 19:14

Im not sure i read it right.

Your car broke down so you didnt make it to the proper campsite?
I
s that right?
Why didn't you take a bus and then taxi to the campsite?

Have you ever been camping? There's f* loads of gear and she has two DC too. A bus or taxi? Really? 🤷🏻‍♀️Hope you're ok OP. Sounds like a very tough gig x
