And a tin box is still a tin box no matter how much folk love em. The difference being the shed don’t cause 5mile tailbacks of irate motorists wherever they pootle.

Caravanners and motorhomers would be far more likely to pull over for vehicles to go past them if they had the occasional acknowledgement thanking them for doing so

Do you actually need thanking in return for doing the correct thing? If a queue behind you is due to your outfit and/or driving then do the right thing and where safe/possible pull over and let them pass, if you feel the need then get out and stamp on the ground because of lack of acknowledgement then do so.

Strange as it may seem to you, I actually do pull over to let vehicles pass.  No I don't  NEED to be thanked but there is a little thing called courtesy, but perhaps you have never heard of it!

Many years ago my father was towing and pulled over to allow the traffic behind to go. He hit a protruding kerb and bust the tyre. 10 o clock at night and no spare. Not their fault of course but when they had all gone without the slightest acknowledgment we were then left to sort it.

It taught me a lesson never pull over if it is not easy and convenient to me.

Incidentally I have never seen 500 yards of tailback never mind 5 miles but maybe I tend to stick wherever possible to roads suitable for towing.and leave the single track lanes to tractors

Of course it was his fault, who else's hands were steering the car. Can hardly blame the following traffic for his misjudgment.

We have found the “Glamping Pods” ensuite bathroom ones, expensive compared with booking a cottage for a similar time period, and of course you get a lot more usually with a cottage. More space, more bedrooms, proper kitchen, garden etc... 

Some of the discounts are worth considering though.
