Feeling like an outcast

[Ingwe]

I wonder if el grumpo was driving a Swift and ticked you off for not being the required 6 metres away? . See my post on Ireland if this sounds like gobbledygook.

First impressions of Ireland

After taking the ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare on Wednesday and having spent two nights on the Emerald Isle, these are my first impressions. The famed friendliness has not been overstated. Every Irish person we've met has been very welcoming and enquiring in a friendly way. The only sour...

They had been parked up for a couple of hours and were sat having a glass of wine.. I think they were just arrogant people. I usually wait for people to settle in then take them a map of the area showing all the supermarkets, doctors, vets etc.. So I probably won't do that ever again.

You won't do it again? Sorry that's just silly, my post was meant as a joke please don't take it seriously.
You obviously enjoy helping people and most will appreciate your help, we certainly would. Don't let one rude person put you off.

olley, not a problem mate I didn't take your comments to heart... But sometimes it just takes one miserable person to make you feel that you have been wasting your time offering help and being friendly, and especially here in Thiviers where we don't get many English. However that said I still have my pile of maps and I need to give them away to our English visitors.. So I will stop sulking now.. ?.

If you believe in karma , when their van goes on fire just say " you told me you didn't need any help " , walk back to your van , pull up a chair and watch.
Yes , I can be a barsteward to those who are rude first.

Roy, I'd love it if someone gave me a map and other information about a place. I'm always moaning about the information rooms at the big clubs not having basic local things like which direction to go out of the site for a walk instead of all the places you need to drive to.
Keep up the good work!

On the positive side if the fire and brimstone doesn’t get them there’s always hellfire and damnation to look forward too.

We've met some wonderful people from many countries and all walks of life , we've also met some real *rseholes. No accounting for folk.

Have you checked your 24hr underarm deodorant is still valid?

I always walk upto MHs in town and say "I've got a Rapido. Do you need any help?" etc.

Last year I spotted a French-plated MH so tried my "Bonjour ....." routine only to be told "we're British but we live in France." They were very grateful to be told what facilities existed, where the best buys could be found, etc. Almost everyone I've spoken to has been pleased to chat.

Strangers are friends you haven't met yet.

Keep up the good work - Gordon

I can plead guilty to being a bit short when I first arrive on a site especially after a long drive, give me time to get set up and then I can talk the hind leg off a donkey.

Despite my best efforts, sometimes if the journey has been stressful, Mr Hyde turns up on site. Luckily after set-up is done and a wee dram taken he reverts to Dr Jekyll. Conclusion: do not approach too soon!

They might have been the couple who parked next to us in Llanberis last week. I tried a couple of times to make eye contact with a view to starting up a chat but was met with instant “averted gaze syndrome “ . When I tried an exploratory “ Good morning “ all I got was a grunt. Makes you wonder why some people bother going on holiday if they can’t be cheerful.
