Some companies are doing well
« on: 05 March 2009, 14:26:06 »
The devaluation of the pound is helping some companies.

A while ago the caravan manufacturers were panicking. Now a lot are selling well, especially mid market vans.

More people are abandoning long haul for UK.

Holiday sites

Most are getting full already

Looks like the UK holiday industry is doing OK

TBH I had decided in December that my holidays would be UK based in the Pikey Palace this year. We went for a day trip to France and got (near enough) 1 for 1 on the exchange so I told SWMBO that the summer holiday with the caravan by the Italian Lakes was off!

We're having it at Newent now :y :y :y

Hmmm, I've seen a few Omegas being driven embarrassingly slowly pulling mobile bonfires.  No idea if they are members here though...

Certainly not me... Last summer I got fed up with a boy racer "giving it large" to his mates and embarrassed him by beating him away from the lights and then the next 2 roundabouts, complete with the Pikey Palace ;D ;D ;D ;D

Needless to say he didn't try again! ::) ::) ::)

Must have cost you a fortune in crockery though - or do you use plastic?  ;)

I once outdragged someone off the lights with an 8 metre long glider trailer (containing a glider) behind me. Happy he wasn't but it served him right for carving me up.

Just carrying in speed helps - traffic lights - slowed down then booted on green - beat a queue even with a 2.0 ;D
