...... ...
The original plan agreed with myself and Linda was to use the "rally" field for the tents and throw a few lines over the wall from the caravans.  But according to "daughter", lets call her Miss Happy for ease, because we had so many people needing electric she had to split us all up, and some people even had the cheek to phone up this week and ask if they could connect up if at all possible!

So instead of simply saying "Sorry, all gone" she greedily squeezed in as many paying customers as possible and then moaned about it all weekend.

The only valid issue she had was that one chancer from here blagged a £5 per night special site booking fee, and then set up camp with slightly more than a "small tent" by claiming it was all pre-arranged.  That's fine if you're on your own, but it did cause problems for other group members and started the non existent "problems" because it really got her back up.

We were never officially banned, but when I told her we would not be coming back again, she as much as said that we weren't welcome anyway!

But basically, mother is nuts and daughter didn't fall far from the tree and we were not made to feel valued or even welcome.

Thanks to everyone that turned up and for the on hand helpers and I guarantee that next year will be an "upgrade" on 2008.  

Still enjoyed myself though and it did unite us all..... OOF forever! :y


Still enjoyed the week end Mark & thanks for organising it in the first place. It did as you say unite us all especially at last nights barbeque.
Thanks to Elite Pete for the whisky! ;)

Linda did actually scream that we were banned just before we left.

Well you were stealing her electric afterall!  I paid for electric and never used any, should I ask for my 50p back??

 ;D Go on I dare you!
She was adamant that we owed her another £8 but I bet she's not very quick at giving The Shyboy £2 back. He'd paid £30 for the 2 nights but - as Linda screamed at us a couple of times - her web site states that site fees weres £14 a night, apparently if you read it. ::) :y

Shame that site was ran by a miserable person though cos it was in a brill place. And if the leccy didnt cut out whenever i put kettle on (to get through the wife watching deadenders) it woulda been better.

Another caravan site we stayed at in the lakes (a few years later) was ran by a total wino.... very interesting since she was 70 odd. As our mondy had taken a helluvalot of punishment (8 years with my younger kids, never serviced, 140K miles, very heavy caravan etc etc) the battery died. She couldnt help. Lucky the caravan battery was good enough to start us to get to a halfrauds....

She perhaps suffered from a dyslexic moment and mistook the phrase polite campers with police campers. Easily done I'm sure ;D ;D
