Thought I met a funster but it wasn’t!

[Gingernuts]

Knocked on the door of an Autotrail yesterday in Cordoba at the zoo car park and met Ann Terri and Paul who apologised that they weren’t funsters but had bought the van with a funster sticker on it!!!!
Said it was their first time motorhoming and had not found it as friendly as they thought and that I was the first person to speak to them on this trip
I mentioned the fun forum but they said they were members of a autotrail Facebook group and that would do!

 

[Swifter]

Exactly the same happened to me !
Was really embarrassed at the time

 

[Figaro]

Said it was their first time motorhoming and had not found it as friendly as they thought

But they didn't feel tempted to join in the fun ?
Oh dear

 

[scotjimland]

Said it was their first time motorhoming and had not found it as friendly as they thought and that I was the first person to speak to them on this trip

I wonder how many people they had said hello to ..

Quite a few, different nationalities too and got blanked!!!

Tried to speak to a couple in a uk van with “adventure before dementia” logo on the back at the dos hermanas site and also got blanked!!!

 

[tacr2man]

Quite often found the same myself all the garrulous motorhomers seem to be on here

 

[scotjimland]

Some people don't want to chat and just keep to themselves .. fair enough

we generally find the French and Spanish friendly, Brits less so .. but no hard and fast rule..

sometimes you get someone who is just too friendly and you can't get rid of them... chat chat chat.. and always about themselves ..

No disrespect, but I can't understand why people have that phrase on their vans. Dementia is no laughing matter.

 

[Sneds]

Agree but I must confess to a smile when I first saw it but a tad old hat now, me thinks

Our door would be constantly knocked on them .....(Tried to find a pampas grass emoji ...) As it's never been rocked in - at least that's what I will tell any prospective buyers ...

You might have put it on straight

 

[Holly's mum]

You might have put it on straight

Maybe the van was rocking at the time

Totally agree with that sentiment.

As pointed out It’s on crooked to have the appearance of rocking
In reality though we don’t have that on the back, we sent some pictures to our 3 lads and one edited and sent it back to us, it’s crocked as the Moho is on a slight slope and the text is straight if it was on I’d imagine it would attract more attention than a fun sticker

Never mind the squinty writing I'd be more concerned that you're not really worried about anybody knocking as you leave the hab door open as an invitation to join in without knocking!

 

[Crazylegs]

This van made us smile.

All the people we meet seem to be like this
It normally starts with 'nice outfit you've got there' then it's all downhill

Its not only the camper people, we were in lidl the other day, an english couple obviously on holiday we had passed a couple of times, clocked we were english and started avoiding us, i caught one of them saying, typical we came on holiday here to avoid english. I thought, yep we did that 18 years ago.

We have always considered it funny that motorhomes we see on the road will wave enthusiastically but then be standoffish on site.

We are coming to the conclusion that the waves are really being accompanied by cries of “keep away” when we see them.

Completely agree!

I’ve seen a few ‘Happy wife Happy life’ stickers but have no idea what a happy wife is ?

 

[The Coops]

Happy wife? All the bank accounts in her name, all the cleaning, washing, ironing and cooking done for her and breakfast in bed everyday and a shoe and clothing collection to rival Imelda Marcos and Coco Channel! Oh and unlimited soaps and shopping channels on demand!

what's my Jan... how did you know

I see it as a statement, rather than anyone laughing about dementia

However, as this is Motorhome FUN, personally I think I'd rather have Parkinsons than Dementia...


Warning humour alert

I’d rather loose half my beer than forget where I left it.
