The "other" club

I bow to your superior knowledge on these matters, however, rightly or wrongly, the advertising campaign using "the friendly club" was only instigated because the perception in a wide variety of circles was that the CC had a reputation for its sites having a section of "grumpies" who were always complaining about "something", rightly or wrongly I could not say.

 

How do you know "the friendly club" tag was adopted many years ago for that reason Rufs? Were you part of the decision making process or are you assuming that was the case? I’m genuinely interested to know how you know.🤔

Clairvoyance perhaps. Many posters on C&CC website don't consider their club to be friendly. 

At the end of the day it is all down to personal expectations and whether or not they were met.

You can have GOGs (grumpy old gits) in both clubs ,but there do seem to be more in this one, including me on occasions!

The more "members" there are in any organisations  then there will always be the perception of more GOGs and other dissenters

I believe that the 'other club' is less keeping up with the Joneses.

Less than who/what? 

Keeping up with Joneses?

I suspect that there are many like me. First couple of vans were between 5 and 8 years old and kept until around 20 years old. 

Bought first new van aged 53 at a cost of £14,00 ad a tow car £19,000, 7 years later replaced with caravan £21,000 less PX, 5 yeas later a van of about £24,000 less PX. .... same tow car now coming up to 14 years old. My name is not Jones

I really don't get, keeping up with your neighbours at home is possible as they are there all the time, but how do you keep up with the pitch opposite when they keep changing?
