Lincoln Petition for MH parking

barge1914 said:
There appears to be a petition concerning Lincoln’s plan to ban motorhomes. I’m not sure how effective these are…but it doesn’t hurt to add numbers to the protest.

They carry no weight at all and are really just either a quiet protest or ego stroking for the originator. For a start, who ever goes onto one of these sites and looks for interesting petitions to sign? They get lost in the sheer volume of people with a gripe. It doesn't hurt to sign, but they do nothing.

We were there last year (I think) and by accident there was a steampunk rally on that weekend, it was very entertaining and lively, thoroughly enjoyed it. Stayed on the car park, went pubs and restaurants and didn't have to drive back to a campsite of course.
There was a great shop in town selling loads of old electrical and electronic stuff/junk all piled high, the sort of shop you'd see in the 70s, the steampunkers loved it, full of vintage meters and cogs and levers, I could have stayed in there for hours (Sad git!) but got dragged out to go to 'the shops'!
"But I'm already in a shop love"
"NO, a proper shop, not a ****** junk shop"

Surely she didn't actually say ****** Merlin.
 
I remember a story told by a site labourer from when I was an apprentice, back then you NEVER swore in front of your wife.
He'd spent the previous day doing some pipe laying in a water logged trench and got saturated, he's driving home from work soaked and grumpy and he JUST KNEW he was going to walk into the house and say "I got ****ing soaked today love". So...as he's driving along he's repeating in his head "I got soaked today love, I got soaked today love, I git soaked today love".
He walks into the house and exclaims "I GOT SOAKED TODAY LOVE" (He thinks to himself, YES I did it!!) "So I bought a pair of ****ing wellies".
