Gareth & Phil have fun in Spain 2025.

Isn’t it a let down as well when it’s that disgusting squirty cream. That must have been invented by Americans. Please don’t correct me if I’m wrong . I try to think of the good things that have come out of America and so far it’s only Peanut butter and Denzil Washington.

Yes I have been.

Squirty cream should be illegal.

Goodness! Talk about thread takeover!

Oh I don’t know about that .

that stuff in a can is revolting, must be, has to be, proper clotted cream and enough of it too..
apologies for thread drift, but at least it’s about food..

 

[jockaneezer]

Squirty cream should be banned as it serves no real purpose except it's convenient ?
It usually turns back to liquid in no time anyway and isn't a patch on proper whipped cream for flavour or texture and banning it would take those canisters of laughing gas that folks are abusing off the streets (4 kids killed in a car crash last week after inhaling it)
I find the discarded canisters all over the place, worryingly usually on roadside verges or in the gutter where they've lobbed them out of their cars after huffing the contents.

Must disagree with you both it has it's uses, excellent for putting crushed dog medication in.

Phil is about to turn our pitch into a Chinese laundry so he's happy.

It's OK our wardrobe lock has broken for the 2nd time.

The fly screen is fun to mend you have to take the compete screen and frame out, on a new van best left to the dealer.

Oh I definitely wasn't attempting to fix the fly screen.

Are you finding you have to book in advance now you're in the Costa Del Sol - or can you just turn up? Cheers

This is my nark with motorhomes some of the equipment is so complicated and in my view totally unnecessary.

Complicated blind systems when instead you could have some lovely curtains on a simple track, fabric of your choice when ordering, so easy, you can take them down, wash them or dry clean.

Electric windscreen shutters that get stuck in the down position when a manual one would go just as good and no worries, old Hymers had a windscreen curtain.

Double glazed A class side windows don’t even get me started on those (You could easily design a window that has 2 panes of glass but isn’t double glazed but has an access hatch to clean condensation off the inner glass.)

Electric pull down beds grrr

Electric steps to get inside keep going wrong

Complicated central locking instead of a good old fashioned sturdy lock and key some Concorde owners have to have a complete new habitation door if the central locking goes A lot of electrical systems are so complicated if there’s a problem down the line.

I could go on and on and on

They should instead concentrate on the general build quality as opposed to bling and ensure wonderful construction, water ingress prevention and ensuring no damage occurs if water does get in.

I understand the complicated electrical engine emission design etc etc as they are forced to do that, but the rest is just showroom blingy rubbish that doesn’t last upto real world Motorhome use.

That the main reason I won’t buy a modern van.

Oh and also the fact that I’m a tight Yorkshire bleeder.

 

[Mr porky]

I tried to pre book this place but they would not take a booking.
Most of the places I think it's wise to book though.
I WhatsApp them this morning and they confirmed they had space.

I don't take crushed dog medicine.

No but only way to get arthritis meds down grand dog, can think of a couple of children it would have worked for too, they dont all like yoghurt

Crushed dog is very good for halitosis, you just rub it on any exposed skin
Then no one will come close enough to notice your bad breath………

But what are 'crushed dog' meds?

 

[scotzsue]

Oh dear forgot about the pedants and my punctuation. Medication for arthritis in dogs (we used normal ibuprofen for our German shepherd, dog not person) Step sons Cockerpoo has developed the condition. His medication is crushable to a fine powder, he is not daft, has convinced the family it is only edible in squirty cream
Please can we get back to Gareth & Phil and their food porn.

Nothing special tonight, probably just a chicken pasta dish.
Starting with some supermarket Gazpacho which I usually tart up with chopped Tomatoes and cucumber.

Crushed rhino medicine is quite popular in China. Maybe crushed dog medicine puts the mastiff back in your massif

Ah, but only the rhino horn. I don't think dogs have horns, or maybe they do....

Gareth, Cliff fixed the string on our fly screen - it was not simple! He managed it in the end, talking to himself the whole time, working out which string to tighten, and which string to loosen while I held the frame up - he thought I was taking notice, but I had the Archers playing in my hearing aids

 

[PaulW2]

It's called a 'baculum' I think

 

[jumartoo]

And what about Scone Palace. A different pronunciation again
