To think that some regular mn's ...

[thricenay]

...are getting overbearing in their posts to the point that others are put off posting or feel they have to grovel/apologise for their posts because they expect to get flamed.

LOL at "flying by the seat of your pants" in relation to caravans - they are a bugger to park.

But I know what you mean about static, caravans, campers - they are like a little den, a wendy house (I clean ours way more than the real house). Also, the amazing fact that we can spend hours together as a family in a space the size of our smallest bedroom at home, and not kill each other ... amazing ...

jamie...you have one too ?

I love ours...we call it our "country pile" and our usual house "the city crash-pad"

spend most weekends there (no internet, either...)

yes! I live in London - and our poor sad DSs call this small patch of bushes in the park "the Wilderness" - I love that when we go away we can just chuck em out and find other urchins to play with.

Wot U got ?

make and model you mean ?

Cosalt Riverdale

looky here

how about you ?

Ta muchly!

Oh dear - crossed wires . We've got a VW Campervan (1986) - hence the peeing into a saucepan. But we are still sisters in spirit AF ....

Bloody hell - that is a country pile

MNH ???

Biscuits were being offered I took one.

They've always been overbearing tbh, there are some that simply like to do it.

sorry, MNH, I got a bit confused there

lots of posts imbetween the bikkie-offering ones and yours

jamie...cross wires indeed, I thought we were talking about static caravans...yours is much, much cooler, saucepan or no saucepan

Just catching up

well, ya can get ya grubby mitts off the biscuits !

Too late

lol @MN

I fond memories of childhood holidays in static caravans. Also took DS and DD on 3 caravan holidays and really enjoyed them, even though it did rain all but one day on the last one

Good grief ... that's enough to put you off isn't it? Shall we all start pulling each others hair and doing chinese burns? I feel it would be in the same vein but somewhat less nasty!
(shuffles back to corner to spy and not be beaten up)

where are we with this thread now. please. i have got a bit lost. can someone summarise ?

Static caravans, it would seem.

Having been (wait for it) born in one, I fail to see their appeal...

thanks belle.
right so we are currently on peeing in saucepans, in static caravans.
oh i can particate in this. did so last week. no actually, i pissed in a bucket. so i guess thta doesn't count. in the middle of the night. becasue the toilet wasn't working.

don't you just love the direction some threads take ?

OP here, thought I'd better look-in on this increasingly desperate thread since I was daft enought to start it.
I must apologise Anyfucker for criticising you (even though I didn't criticise you). I made the age-old mistake that people who feel free to dish their opinions out to others night and day would of course have no problem with taking a little bit in return. If I had realised how insecure you are I would never have made the very mild remark I did. There.

AF, is it you who has a country pile near Morecambe Bay? THink we have spoken about it before, we spend a lot of time up at PILs country pile near Ingleton

That was a gorgeous apology, Op, brought a tear to my eye.

nice apology. genuine.

What apology was that then...?

yep, tis me Lizzy

Thrice...I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sincere apology and I accept it willingly and with good grace.

Now have a biscuit, why don't you ?
