Ability to chose hardstanding pitches on all sites

While touring I usually have a few hundred in the caravan and a couple of hundred in car glove box when we start out and plenty in my wallet.

Thanks for sharing ET, where will you be tomorrow around tea time, W3W address would help🤣🤣

Unlike ET we are not quite so worth mugging.😂 When we started at the beginning of September we had about £150. Still have most of it, although we paid cash for our pizzas, even that could have been done with a card.

I work on the principle that loosing a few hundred won't change my lifestyle. I remember, probably around 20 years ago, before the widespread Euro I was in Europe with a friend for 4 or 5 days. A common occurrence. We usually had a variety of currency for France, Germany, Holland, Belgium and a couple of others. Not a lot but enough for a meal and a few beers apiece. This particular evening found us in Belgium and lacking currency one evening. No worries I said lets find a bar that does some food. We found one down a backstreet with a strange mix of clientele, but interesting locals. Shady might have described it. I spotted somebody reading a large broadsheet, a bit like the financial times. I asked at the bar if they would exchange some currency which they agreed to. Took exchange rates from the other gent's newspaper and, as it made a nice round number paid around 7% commission which pleased the host. We were sat at the bar and I placed the equivalent of about £50 on a bar towel in front of us. He gave me several glances to say that was not a good idea. I quietly explained that we were likely to be there several hours. The money would go down in two ways. Some slipped quietly into my pocket and some on beer and food etc. I would have the equivalent of about a tenner left to pick up. If anybody in the motley crew wished to snatch the money they were most welcome. I also advised him that the young 'lady' he was chatting up was a fella.

More recently carrying cash has proved useful. When I reversed and knocked over a lovingly rebuilt motorcycle I unusually did not have money in the car but had £85 in my wallet. I think that, having got the owner to phone his dealer the parts were under £45. As he had done about 10 miles since the rebuild I reckoned that he deserved more for doing the repair work and he and his friend deserved a pie and a pint or two.

So would we and have done this season at a couple of very nice private sites 🤙

👍🏻😊, today in HullCC for dinner on the Marina, Parking, Dinner then over to the Italian ice cream parlour all on the tap of a card. . .I love the 21st century😍

How's the Land of Green Ginger?

In excellent form, going strong from the 1600’s to now MrC, near it is still the Worlds smallest formally in use window👍🏻😊

And while we're on that subject is The Black Boy still there and going strong or has it had to be renamed? 

Excellent always sounded so exotic, well it did to a 18 year old Mr C. Our favourite pizza place was just beyond it on corner of Silver street and Lowgate.

A Saturday afternoon 40 odd years ago would have a been a trip to Sydney Scarborough's record shop then ran under the City Hall. Happy days. Last time I looked it in a hairdressers.
