The tale of last night.... (contains mentions of nudity)....

[Fab Foodie]

I would have let them finish, we were all young once.... I got moved on by Traffic Cop in my teens he even advised me that Balcombe Station Car Park is quiet this time of night and this was at a time when just looking at me and my car got me producer as they once were.

I always remember his opening line do doubt well rehearsed, I won't ask you to get out of the vehicle sir... in one of those droney semi comical voices. More than my toes were curling I can tell you!

He could have done what he wanted as long as he turned his engine off!!!

Will no-one think of the petrol?

Is that the Dover Patrol memorial? A top spot.

It indeed. We go there to wave at @Salty seadog when he’s at work....

It’s some climb from the bay though!

Sadly you cannot park-up overnight. We got there early and had some local woman eyeballing Dawn and shaking her head in disgust....

What’s not to like?

Hope you were careful when backing up- you don’t want an obelisk up your rear...!

Yes, we heard they'd banned it there recently. A great shame, and rather mystifying as to what the problem was with it.

Probs. The locals in the posh houses or the cafe/apartment there. Maybe some campers abused the privilidge, who knows, but yes, a shame.

Wave what?

We wave with our enthusiasm....

Best quote of the year! Glad it was a pleasant trip. I often don't sleep very well in similar situations, I htink half of me is expecting a traffic warden to knock on the window and move me on.

[QUOTE 5172438, member: 21629"]That's why I sleep with earplugs (a habit from working night shifts). Don't care about noise.[/QUOTE]
It’s a good plan. We did that recently so we couldn’t hear @hopless500 snoring....

Maybe try a campsite next time, instead of sleeping in your vehicle on the public highway. Or maybe wild camping in a remote spot.
Either way, why spend upwards of £40000 on a camping vehicle and then park in the road with the doggers to save £20 campsite fees.............some are open even at this time of year.

Yeah-but... that way it would take them 3000 years to make back the cost of paying £40 a night for a nice, warm B&B each night away, as opposed to the mere 1500 years it will take them if they save the full £40.

When you spend most of your workng week in 4 and 5 star hotels and eating and drinking at some very good restaurants around the world a £40 B&B or flying somewhere for the weekend holds little appeal. Not everything is about cost.

Sunday morning lying in bed nice and snug with the one you love (and her pussy) with a nice hot cuppa watching the sun rise over the sea - Priceless.

Visualise this but with a motorhome and get it playing on the radio as you watch the sun come up over a coffee but not Nescafe

We have had a Motorhome since we retired, eleven years ago (well, we are actually on our fourth now).

I have found that there are four subjects which always cause heated "debate" among the Motorhoming/Caravanning Fraternity:

1. The merits or otherwise of using campsites/Aires/wild camping
2. The merits or otherwise of taking a short ferry crossing and more driving vs long ferry crossing and less driving
3. If watching TV is an acceptable pastime, whilst "camping"
4. If it is acceptable to "go online" whilst camping, and, how this should be done (ie "free" wifi, site wifi, MiFi etc)

No one seems to be able to understand that we are all different (even if we own/use a Motorhome/Caravan), and that doing it your way, and, leaving others to do it their way is a perfectly acceptable way to be. IMHO

It might be acceptable, but surely it would be an act of kindness to point out that your way is the correct way and that they are simply doing it wrong.
