I Have Never Ever...

[L' Hobo]

Rumour has it that you need a starting handle now

A starting cartridge like they used on the old Field Marshalls, would be more appropriate?

Just in-case your wondering folks, Rocking Rivet drove over the grass to get into the parking place shown on his Avatar.

(either that or he's lying to us?)

Only one is a lie

Now there is a new years resolution, right there!

Once you have toured France, you will realise exactly what a motorhome-friendly country Britain isn't!

Motorhome parking, for shopping, sights and overnight is everywhere. Clean, unvandalised, usually free and not grabbed by selfish car drivers. Italy, Belgium, Germany and Austria a bit less so, but still far friendlier than Britain (or Ireland).

I have never taken the motorhome north of the Humber.

Of course I have ,often I've been told in life nothing is impossible!!!! ?

True, France is Motorhome friendly but I would imagine we could be if we had a similar area of land and was less crowded.

It also helps, sadly, that large area's of Northern France was literally flattened in the last 100yrs and the planners could rebuild towns & cities with vehicles (not Horse & carts) in consideration.

I also think it's rather a rash comment by someone who admits to have only toured, in their motorhome, the South part of Britain and none of Scotland?

One should never believe all one reads.

Ah, you need to read between the lines!
I have been in a touring caravan up to Scotland several times. It was ... ok.

These days, being an old git, I want to spend my touring time feeling sun on me, drinking local wine and eating local food that hasn't been deep fried as I found was everywhere in Northern Britain.

 

[bladerunner]

Never have I ever:

Watched coronation street
Watched game of thrones
finished "Ulysses"
worn pyjamas
used an Uber
used deliveroo
ordered a KFC

played a game of tennis

I think I did read between the lines, that's when I edited & added 'in their motorhome' just after I posted.

I love France, and most other places I have been to over the past 50yrs of travelling (I too am an old git ) but I believe that, apart from the overcrowding that can be avoided if, like me, you wander all year, in such a small island, Britain has a little bit of everything ( including too much sun, if last year was anything to go by) AND, at our age, if one has a medical or any other problem, I can, usually, understand most words that are being spoken.

As I have said many times before, it's good that we are not all the same and nicer for me if more & more people holiday abroad but please don't run down my adopted homeland.

Edit, as for cooking, I rarely eat out which allows me to buy the best ingredients which I then enjoy cooking and eating.

Totally agree, except the last 2 but that was many years ago.

I have never......understood women. (or most men for that matter)

I agree lots of nice places in Uk , no need for anyone to run our UK down if you don't like it on this island then go elsewhere , I'm also a Royalist, mind you love Spain , Germany etc. for holidays to immerse ones self in the different country side , food and culture

Yes, although a lot of people keep saying on MHF, how they love the aire and spellplatz system, but I wonder how us in England would feel if the Councils spent our own tax payers money and started building a similar system in the UK?
(Lets face it, our attitude towards 'Travellers', however much it's deserved, hardly bodes well?)

How would we feel when they filled up with French & German M/H's which paid nothing/very little towards them and we supplied them with EHU so that they could cook the food they had bought with them from their homelands?

I may be slightly cynical, but when I drove my Continental Coaches for many years and took UK people abroad, it always used to amaze me, just how much that little piece of water called the Channel, changed peoples attitudes.
Things they would not dream of doing in the UK, they suddenly found acceptable because they were on holiday?
I've seen a number of 'Shirley Valentines' not return, men turn into drunken idiots and girls determined to seduce the drivers.

What do these small foreign towns get out of it? It cannot be a profit that is worth the hassle surely?

I have never driven on the left-hand side

Who was running UK down?

I wasn't. I love Britain and wouldn't live anywhere else.
I just prefer to head south for touring, not north.

Perhaps if I lived in the crowded SE , I'd feel the same, but I don't.

worn pyjamas

Not doubting your word, but just wondered if your Mum could confirm this

 

[bladerunner]

Seems unlikely unless you can reach the dead!

Probably still in romper suits, what are now 'fashionably' called 'onesies'!

[Ralph-n-Bev]

I have never ever

Been to Benidorm and although we both really love watching “bargain loving Brits” for a belly laugh, never will.
Nope.
Those campsites look like tarp covered refugee camps . As for the night life tribute acts , Brits abroad, English food fest, worse night mare.
Living the dream ……..

Not.
Good job we’re all different.
