Rally Chat CAMC - reckon we’ll be banned (3 Viewers)

[L' Hobo]

Seen pictures of them they look horrible, not even any hedges between the pitches

Probably got fed up of the hedges being run over by people who can't reverse?

I did some IT consultancy for one retailer who what been on the very poor end of a couple of mystery shopper reports. They wanted IT to improve the customer experience. I asked to see the reports before pointing out that short of robots or self service points, IT was not the solution, improving customer service was. A short chat with some shop floor staff showed that they were constantly being off the shop floor doing stocktakes, manual ordering etc.

I got the job of specing and installing a sales and stock management system, while HR started staff training on customer service. I was asked to attend one to brief the staff on what was to come shortly.

The funniest thing was the instructor introduced customer service as being the biggest issue the business had to tackle citing several examples before asking for any questions that people wanted addressing during the session. One wit asked when they were going to start training the customers?

I’ve not seen many aires with hedges separating parking lots

Only stayed on a couple of their sites and both times met little Hitler wardens, that was enough to put me off for life.

same here, haven't the temperament for the wardens.

The wardens also have to put up some pretty obnoxious customers recently at one site at Bridlington a warden was being perfectly polite and said to the customer good morning sir how can I help, the retort was: ‘Don’t call me Sir, I left the military a while ago’

What is a warden supposed to do with that? Not all customers are polite.

A little like the fortunately rare, but really annoying female when you go through a door and hold it open to be told, I'm quite capable of opening a door! OK... next time I see you coming I'll slam it and lock it behind me! I hold doors open for anyone that's following whatever their gender, age, colour, size, pregnant or not, in a wheelchair or not. It was called good manners.

as they say you can’t please everyone all of the time.

Often women are denigrated either as objects or lessor and not saying by you so when you carry out an act of kindness by opening the door it can be misinterpreted

If people are unnecessarily rude to me , i remain polite but become very sarcastic and menacing ,, seems to work well on arseholes

Play your cards right though and you may get a white line so your neighbour knows where to put the centreline of their van!

Hey, what about Scottish?

We arrived at our place last night...we were allowed to park up where we wanted...a sea view would be nice...there is just 15 left but 8 were taken before sundown....no boundaries.The beach is 20 metres away...as is the outside shower and wonderful toilets...
We hadn't had cause to speak to the wardens, but the Police passed by just once...
I chatted to a Italian and local Spanish fisherman....both very polite and enthusiastic it what their day brings....still no warden...
We've been for a 2.5 hour bike ride...greeted everyone in earshot, wishing them good morning....returned to our start point to find all sea view are taken..Our neighbours are preparing to have lunch and we will too..
no wardens or rude people here... everyone speaks with us....Welcome to Galicia...

I'm curious, how do you only pay £25 per year, have you been continually with them over 25yrs?

Yep Veteran Membership.

 

[L' Hobo]

Me too but do you realise that you must have paid a CLUB about £1000 in that time (25+years at £35-£50) just to use their 5 pitch site and THS's

Yer kept that quiet !

No I meant hairy females not blokes in kilts

i agree with your initial thought, but in both cases, I already had the door open, so I was just stopping it closing in their faces. Difficult to see how it could be misinterpreted unless someone is an out and out feminist. But there you go. We have just been out for lunch, held the door open for a lady who said thank you and carried on. (No not Mrs Meanders who was also with me)

Well we managed to break a rule this morning when leaving Hawes CAMC site. Pulled off our pitch and M decided he needed to use the toilet in the toilet block, he pulled in with the caravan hooked up just as a couple of wardens were walking around, one of the them shouted quite loudly from a distance ‘get off the grass’.

Now, wouldn’t it have been nicer if she had walked across and said something like ‘we don’t like people parking on the grass’. Sergeant Major comes to mind.

Wonder if we’ll be banned from their sites?

Very late to this post but why did you pull onto the grass?
Did you need to?
Presumably there were notices not to drive on the grass and churn it up?
I was on a site this week and they clearly stated if you churned up the grass they would charge you £25.00. If you needed towing off when you went on the grass the charge was £50, £25 to the Yorkshire air ambulance, didn’t seem a problem to me.

I said in my post why we pulled up. It wasn’t easy to pull in anywhere where it wasn’t going to cause a problem and we had literally pulled up when we got shouted at.

When prince William was at sandhurst he walked across the adjutants lawn. A major no no.
A top window opened and the cry came out "Oh Wales, get off my f****ing grass".

My son was at Sandhurst at the same time as PW but on a different course although there were some shared exercises. My son "shot" PW who was made to lie in the mud like the other casualties. PW stood a round in the bar later that night and did have a (forced) laugh at being ambushed by a ****** Saturday and Sunday soldier.

I think you're right but we all have a limit of tolerance!

Ah, but then you escalate the politeness!

I find referencing wardens to Hitler a bit offensive.
We've got lots of experience of working on campsites and helping out/ running THS and the like.

A couple of years ago a trusted member on here mentioned a Hitler type on a THS. ( That Hitler was me and of course I know what happened)

It is so obvious that some people don't like being told what the rules of a place are .

We are currently helping out at a large CCC event . The no awning to awning rule is upsetting a few. Tough.

What’s the new Awning to Awning rule? That wouldn’t go down well on the Continent!

We don’t mind that they have rules but like I’ve previously mentioned it was the fact that we were shouted at as soon as we pulled in that annoyed us.

The classic answer to that female is “I am holding it for you because I am a gentleman, not because you are a lady”!
