[Jimbob]

Yes, its the hats that drew my attention, thought ehh up, be some antics later with that hen party!

[LJay]

I did notice your hats, thought it was a private party though! Think the lack of meega confused us!

So that big black 4x4 was really an Omega with a fancy body kit then  

I never realised you were part of the group either !

As a matter of interest .. down at the "pikey van" area, the consensus - including the vans who were not part of OOF - was that the Dutch van was using a large number of leccy devices, and they were being held responsible for the leccy tripping off at our end... perhaps they also took your end down at the same time ??  Depends how the site is wired I guess.

Anyway ... many thanks to Chopsdad for the organisation and to everyone for the friendship ... Even SWTSMBO enjoyed it and is looking forward to Newent

That's not what I saw....

Pity theres no Police barrier tape this year then!!

Maybe next time B, maybe next time..

[willyboy]

She can lay no blame with us......if the no shows are a problem that is her buisness model that is at fault by not requiring a deposit to book a pitch.

As for the electric tripping, it concerned me as there is clearly little or no descrimination because if a fault in a single user connection had occured it should have tripped the ELCB or MCB in the hookup box....th fact it tripped the main feed sudgests that the install is sub-standard and being run continuously at max load.....

if the no shows are a problem that is her business model that is at fault by not requiring a deposit to book a pitch.


 Well will make the next one only missed this as am busy doing the kitchen up grrrrrr  never ending !
We have a c/van & stayed near Whitby last year it was oh so wet a time I asked the site owners if we could leave early would we be charged etc noooo she says  dont worry about it there are so many people ringing up & cancelling at the moment they will be empty if weather doesn't change ... now thats how it should be but some site owners just treat you like poo as they know there is some other mugs coming next week/month /year unless you can post  a review on how bad it was !! Puts me off  if it has bad reviews !

[shyboy]

The farmer said if it was load, the local ones would blow, so must be a fault on someone's gear.
Also reckoned it was someone who arrived at about 8pm.

Shows what little he knows, the feeds had ELCB's and MCB's....any fault should take out those if it was installed correctly....

Why not ask the HSE, Trading Standards and the Inland Revenue round for a fun weekend.  I'll pay the deposit  

I'm tempted, Mark.
When we arrived lunchtime Friday, the daughter insisted I had booked for ourselves and 2 children, then couldn't tell whether we had paid a deposit and charged us another £20, £30 in all. (No receipt, of course). No complaints with the price, and the son-in-law showed us to our pitch and was most helpful and friendly. I hate to imagine what the poor sod puts up with from the maternal side of the family.
For some lucky reason, most of the flak by-passed us on the caravan field, but Chopsdad and Andy B were obviously in the firing line at times. None of it spoiled a great weekend however.
I did wake up on Saturday morning determined to lodge a very serious complaint about the noise made by Entwood and Chris, and Andy B and Annette, in Andy's awning until I remembered that we had also been there throughout the session. A most enjoyable start to the weekend.
Many thanks to Chopsdad for organising everything. If you didn't get there you missed a lot of fun.
Thanks also to Marks DTM and The Boy for work on my car and keys. All I asked for was Mark's confirmation of my 2.6l oil stem leak, but ended up getting Tech 2 climate control update and a key fob soldering repair carried out in Entwood's caravan. These guys are incredibly generous with their time and expertise, and I'm very grateful. The beers I gave them certainly wasn't sufficient recompense for their help, but they won't accept anything more on these social occasions. I think we should all insist on something more substantial for them in the future, but I'm probably banging my head against a brick wall.
It was great to meet friends old and new and Newent is now on our 'must do' list.
Bill.
