Curtain twitchers

That's weird we've just had three real lesser spotted "wotsits" in our garden...I think these things usually come in threes don't they, you got off lightly! 

Hi, OJ.

We've seen a few posts recently about the activities of other campers and you have to wonder why some people go vanning. They could curtain twitch at home and save the site fees.😁

Oh dear. They unfortunately live amongst us and the main problem I find with this species is that they look "normal".  You can't tell who the blighters are, and they'll lie directly to your face if you so much as dare to suggest or ask if it was them (then report you for infringing Rule 206.58, subsection 3.)

Glad it gave you a laugh. At least you'll be on first name terms with the wardens now.

Not in the small close we live in, only 7 bungalows and we're nearly at the end of it; nothing ever happens, I've looked on several occasions; so I'm afraid we do have to go vanning  

You should try adhering to Rule 206.58, Subsection 4b ... much more onerous than Subsection 3.

"All curtains to be twitched by 7:30pm at the latest on day of arrival or reporting to HQ will follow within 24 hours and membership suspended."

As I have said many times, and I live by it, what others do on their pitch is really totally up to them, provided I can enjoy my pitch and stay what others do is really of no importance and they can just get on with it.

As said above I've no idea why people do this or what enjoyment they can get from 'reporting' any such activity, and observing in such detail as well, but obviously they must somehow, does it make them glow with a warm feeling of hatred?

You can pitch next to me anytime Jen.

There’s usually at least one on every Club Site, and they specialise in anything less than ordinary. You are prime target material touring as you do with two (perfectly legal) outfits, and then there is the added bonus to the twitcher of being in charge of a canine. Like a red rag to a bull.....

Best to ignore. I think they are a bit of a dying breed nowadays, it doesn’t seem as rife as it used to be, but they are harder to spot as well.

Our all time record was a mere minute after pulling onto a pitch at Marazion, Warden came across and asked if we had a Doberman as “someone” had reported seeing one running free. The answer was “no, but would you like to say hello to our three tied up, sat quietly Airedale’s?” The Warden just laughed, we had a great stay after that. 😁

I'm afraid my answer would have consisted of a lot more than 'no' 

 I don't think twitching is in decline at all. 

What has happened is that net curtains have been replaced by CCTV.  The reason we see so many outfits all closed up with blinds drawn in late afternoon is that the occupants are sitting watching the site activity on their screens, and telephoning their string of complaints to the poor wardens on their mobile phone emergency number.

I suspect they also have live video feeds going with their associates on other Club sites throughout the country, and this is what makes the wi-fi speeds so poor.

I have to admit that I enjoy a bit of "people watching" when we're away. No twitching of curtains though - just gazing out the window, or looking around when relaxing outside (glass in hand).

No sneaky intentions - but living on a farm with no neighbours or people wandering by, it makes a change!

And if others want to watch us (but not when the curtains are closed), fair do's. Or even talk to us!
