Why don't you ask a) about the private OT conversation between JVB & AD, and b) whether the OP finds it objectionable?

Simply I have better things to do than pick up on every post. R2b just happened to be in my sights this time.

Sometimes it's far better to say nothing rather than pick on one individual or event, especially when others abound. Now, would you like to borrow a shovel or is it time to stop digging?

We met a lot of motorhomers last year who started up conversations with "we're normally in Spain just now." Strangely enough they seemed to be enjoying their stays here and we are good listeners.... (But a lot of them had far too much equipment with them!) wink

Yes, everyone we met was having a good time Brue. One or two were a tad shocked at just how nice the weather was, and the fact that we had been swimming in North Sea, (September) but I suspect for most it was a nice change in a difficult year. Some of the MHs were very large, full of all sorts of kit.

Well I have noticed the pattern of orange squares keeps changing on a site I have been keeping my eye on but hard to say why other than it looks like cancellations!

R2B never met AD so he is hardly a buddy but i will keep any eye out for him when in Spain next. Most unlikely to meet him on a Club site.wink

Southport PD👍 Mind, unless there’s been some early booking (speculative, might not need to go) site might be booked up now. (That’s a joke by the way😁)

Look forward to seeing you some time. I have quite a few fellow posters now, normal sensible people and am always glad to meet more.

Thinking about the anticipated UK staycation boom.  What effect do you think the non-availability of "shared indoor facilities" will have on site bookings?

Posted on 22/03/2021 14:49

this has it up sides and down sides, on the site we will be visiting on the 4th May for a couple of weeks, there are a number of camping/tenting fields, the email i received from the site owner said the camping/tenting fields would not be open until approx the 17th May, so in general the site will be fairly quite as will be the indoor swimming pool which i greatly like laughing, down sides, no facilities but who cares, I am a big kid at heart and do like a kick around with the kids (small), and I do like the banter you get on a camping field, especially in the evenings, much better than stuck in the white box watching telly laughingbut we have many more nights away planned so i am sure we will have a great time.

Great idea! We must make the most of the opportunity while you’re in this country👍🏻
